Great video for all ages. Love the background music. I'm older and I wouldn't think twice of going into any of those bars. Just be respectful. As you said, most of them play music from our era anyway ! So, yeah, be respectful, laugh, enjoy the music, eat the food and drink the drink. No worries !
great video love he walk and talk and whiskey blues , loas looks just like thailand only quieter , like the idea of being able to walk around safely at night shame we cant do that any more in england eh , but hey thats progress take it easy see you on the next one
Another great video Eddy. Good for you …you’re enjoying a great little city with much to offer. Perhaps I will get there when I come back to that part of the world. Love the hot tropics, and low cost of living and great friendly people, and wonderful Buddhist temples. Take care Eddy…and thanks again for all you do for us. Cheers… 👍🏼 👏🏼 😃 🙏🏼 ☸️ 🌴
Eddie thanks for the heads up. Looks like a great place. It would get me out of Pattaya I can still use my schoolboy level Thai up there. Enjoy yourself
Great video as always Eddie, nice to see town at night gives you a different perspective, looks like a lovely place to spend a week, definitely on my list to visit next year on my trip to South East Asia, cheers mate. 🍻
Eddy is looking for a place to retire and settle permanently. Same with me. I spent a total of six months in Thailand and Cambodia. Definitely going to settle in that part of the world and live my last years there. Definitely won’t return to my home country of Canada. 🌴🌴🌴 🙏🏼 ☸️ 😃 ✈️
It really is a hidden gem. Loved how nice/clean your cheap hotel was. Also, no visible trash. No xx-girls. Young crowd is a good sign for future. Wondering how is their healthcare. Enjoy.
Keep going eddy . Just returned from pattaya 4 months bumped into you soi bukhao. Eddy I had bad holiday got salmonella then the heatwave hit pattaya was unbearable with all the pollution glad I back home mass tourism ruining pattaya like to see you discuss.this. cheers eddy
Very much agree Eddy about travelling later in life, me and the missus had children really young( too young)so never done much travelling without the kids, so we’re in our late fifties now and giving it a bloody pasting since we were 40 😂everywhere out that way seem to play our type of music and as far as I’m concerned you can’t beat it for a great night out, few beers good music and great company in the sun ,keep it up mate 👍
I love the music you're playing probably better than what's playing in those bars but I am recliner surfing on a six pack of tall boys Eddy. Who is playing this music?
Great video, Ed, Vang Vien is a lovely town and it seems clean and safe, too w/good bars and nightlife w/o craziness, horrible sidewalks, potholes, trash thrown about, street fights, & crime found in so many other places. Where too, next? I am wondering whether you will one day decide to settle down and either live in a hotel longterm, or lease an apartment or condo, somewhere in time to come - when you come upon the ideal spot for you and your needs? Keep writing the great novels, as I can't wait to buy your next book when she gets released on Amazon! Take care & be well mate, best.
When I first went to Vang Vieng there was none of this. Every building was wooden, there was a few 'reggae' bars and hole in the wall bars. It was still full of young people partying and plenty of ladies of the night there. It was brilliant.
@@jimmccann3856Probably so many blondie giraffe-neck European couples there now that there’s no business anymore. And doesn’t anybody travel alone anymore, wtf? No sense of adventure.
Hi Eddy, glad to see you out and about, Vang Vieng looks nice.. what's the situation with the ladies and guest friendly hotels? Oh and I must ask.. what's the name of the artist and music you have in this clip.. nice and mellow :) Cheers from Perth, West Australia.
Hey Eddie, long time subscriber. It's very gratifying and pleasant to watch your slow life travel videos. I'm greatly enjoying this phase of your life.
Ed, have you tried the beer Lao IPA yet or just the yellow labelled beer Lao bottles??? I see there seems to be about 5 different types of beer Lao. Looks like a nice laid back town BUT I,d like a few more mature tourists around too.
They play the classic rock because it’s the best, but if you say it was from your time, young people just smile. Or interview you like you’re a museum piece.😊🙄
I tell you what Eddie. It looks clean. No litter or dog shit anywhere. I was instantly impressed by that. It would put a lot of European cities to shame!!
a lot of young western girls on gap years "discovering themselves" as Ricky Gervais might say. 20 years ago maybe.. From what I have seen Laos looks fantastic probably better value than TH
Eddy, nearly all 20-30somethings I know also cannot stand to go to noisey hectic nightclubs. Most just go to bars of all age groups anyway. Stop worrying about your age mate. You are not OLD. Your mobile, healthy enough for arduous travel and as far as I can see, you have your marbles. Just stop bleating on about everywhere is for younger people. I have also been to same place and it was full of 20-60 year olds from what I could see. Dont start moaning about your age now
I think this town probably was just like Pattaya 40/50 years ago a quiet sleepy village with a few bars in it, with me saying this I can guarantee the trolls out there will be quoting this that and the other.
Looks like a very very very nice place. Very charming place. Yes?
cheeky sod it's not a very very nice place at all it's a very very VERY nice place OOOOKAY!
Have you split one of those Laos bargirl yet?
It will be very interesting where you decide to put down your roots Eddie ..... Loads of nice places you are visiting 😊
Great video for all ages. Love the background music. I'm older and I wouldn't think twice of going into any of those bars. Just be respectful. As you said, most of them play music from our era anyway ! So, yeah, be respectful, laugh, enjoy the music, eat the food and drink the drink. No worries !
Rock on!
Keep rm Coming Ed

Very interesting well done video. It looks like a nice town although it seems too many tourists for me.
Any lady bars at all in Laos? It doesn't seem to be.
Thanks for heads up on Vang Vieng
Good place
It really is a hidden gem. Loved how nice/clean your cheap hotel was. Also, no visible trash. No xx-girls. Young crowd is a good sign for future. Wondering how is their healthcare. Enjoy.
Good on you Eddie. Glad your having a good time😉
Cheers, Brian
Nice presentations ed. Good job.
Thank you kindly
Looks a good town Eddy, Ill put it on the maybe visit list for next year👍
Great video looks like a fantastic place to chill

So nice of you
Lovely lookaround 👍🏼
Great videos in Laos Eddie, keep them coming, but having to catch up, as it’s Cheltenham Festival week mate!! 🐴🐴 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Have fun
Looks nice, and incredibly clean.

Blue Mood, Robert Munzinger, RUclips Audio Library
I’m freakin completely following you Eddie! I’m 55 and still rocking to Cold Play like my 15 yr old.
Good for you
You like mountains go to Nepal, Kathmandu is great too very interesting and cheap!
I have considered that in the past. Sounds good.
Yes women there knocking shops but not very pretty!

Hi, Donald. I will be settling in a nice condo soon. My second book will be out in a couple of weeks. Thankyou.
I’m 35 and enjoy your vids Ed, thanks for the content 👌🏻
Awesome! Thank you!
Looks good eddie, well shot video good choice o music
Thankyou
But no info on the ladies... did he have it cut off?
Refreshing to not see jammed roads by tuktuks, cars, motorcycles etc,.
Can't wait till I retire so I can do some travelling. See you in 2030 Eddie!
Well done Eddie! Nice video 😎
Thanks! 👍
Nice video mate !!
Classic Steady Eddie vibes. When are we going to get the first 'nice cold beer ' on a beach?😊🍺🍻
I wonder are you going to do a walk in the mountains to overlook the city it be a lovely site
When I first went to Vang Vieng there was none of this. Every building was wooden, there was a few 'reggae' bars and hole in the wall bars. It was still full of young people partying and plenty of ladies of the night there. It was brilliant.
I did not see a single working girl in Eddy"s video? What happened between your time and his?
@@jimmccann3856Probably so many blondie giraffe-neck European couples there now that there’s no business anymore.
And doesn’t anybody travel alone anymore, wtf? No sense of adventure.
@@jimmccann3856 Maybe he didn't film them. There are not 'girlie bars' but some hangout, or they used to, in the bar with all the tourist.
I think i want me some of that vang vieng as Dewey Cox would say
Is it cheaper to live in laos then thailand?
Ed just go and hit a dance floor FFS. Let it all out 😅
Full moon bar the best one in town ❤
Thanks Eddie for the report, one thing is missing you didn't talk about honey 🍯 😂
My type of place
Nice content Ed.
Hi Eddy, glad to see you out and about, Vang Vieng looks nice.. what's the situation with the ladies and guest friendly hotels? Oh and I must ask.. what's the name of the artist and music you have in this clip.. nice and mellow :) Cheers from Perth, West Australia.
It's not the place for meeting ladies. Music is Blue Mood, RUclips Audio
What is name of that nice hotel you stayed at please Eddie 😅 in vang looking at the mountains think I will look over
Sisavang Mountain View
@@STEADY599 thanks

Thanks! 😃
What's the story regarding ST prices?
Eddie yous wa champion line dancer of Liverpool wmc and Runcorn 😅😂🕺⚡
Eddy, you could be running the whole country within a year.
Which country? If you mean the UK I can't do any worse than the current bunch.
🤣. No. Laos. The UK is beyond hope. There’s nothing left
"this town rocks" there has to be a classic rock song with that title mate!!!
There is a big easy in Phnom Penh I don’t know if they are associated with each other
BenRawson, below, says plenty of girls! I saw none in your video? Eddy, a sentence or two on this subject, please...
I do not want to be the creepy old guy ! Lol.
Is it true that it is against the law for the ladies to go out with foreigners in Laos?
They play the classic rock because it’s the best, but if you say it was from your time, young people just smile. Or interview you like you’re a museum piece.😊🙄
This town is too respectable for me
it used to have a really bad reputation ten years ago until they brushed all the drunken young nuisances out, looks like they done good.
Vang Vien needs the Benidorm crowd!
👍👍👍👍👍👍
👍👍👍
Eddie don't worry too much about age, you're as old as you "think" you are ...
I tell you what Eddie. It looks clean. No litter or dog shit anywhere. I was instantly impressed by that. It would put a lot of European cities to shame!!
No cries of hey hey sexy man hey hey Hansom man buy me drink it's no Soi 6 ,Pattaya thats for sure .
a lot of young western girls on gap years "discovering themselves" as Ricky Gervais might say. 20 years ago maybe.. From what I have seen Laos looks fantastic probably better value than TH
Good job you gave up the spirits, Eddie....methanol deaths in Vang Vieng all over the news on 21 Nov 24 😯
Act your shoe size eddy not your age😂😂
Looks far better than Vientiane the Capital .

Comment.
"My Generation" wow the Who! Your as old as the woman you feel!
Rock on!
Try Osaka and Tokyo, much,much cooler ….and colder 🎉
ED age is just a no enjoy
Maybe they are playing music from our generation bacause the music of this generation is crap!
Btw , don’t let ever some idiot call you old !
Was a place brilliant untill the korean boy band mob turned up
Ed, just don’t . I don’t care what music they are playing. You are past it. You will just be so out of place, and will look ridiculous 😂
Lovely. Please can you do your videos without the music so I can hear the street life. Cheers. KEEP IT REAL Eddy.
He can't as if you had listened to the commentary you would have heard Eddie say there was copyright music blaring out from everywhere
@@scooterspringsteen3544 Cheers, sorry, I haven't had time to listen to the whole vid. No problem. Yeah YT are getting bad.
