I am a chinese and went to Laos 4 times on vocation. Truly sorry about us being rude to people in other countries. Literally when i was walking kn the street in Laos and my rude people (chinese) walking past me I frowned and was like “f…k off you cheeky bastards”. China, for the past decades, has been making efforts to building a stronger economy, and at the same time overlooked the moral education. People are so misguided by the government that they take for granted the morality certainly comes secondary to making MONEY.
@@seanwang2501 Thank you for commenting Sean, I know it's not all of your countrymen
Sean it isn’t just the Chinese people who are rude. We get that behaviour from all cultures. Thanks for the apology mate. Cheers brother.
I like Chinese people when they stay in their own country and not going to wreck other countries
Don’t kneel down to the westerners. Bro
Too bad for you. I have great experiences with Chinese people. They are very kind and generous. I am glad that they are help building Laos' infrastructure.
Todd, I was able to visit Laos two weeks ago and I have to agree with you on Chinese people. They are so rude and they get away with it. We had a group of Chinese just smoking in the hotel lobby. Now there are good Chinese people then there are the ones that don’t have manners, we had breakfast one morning, there’s this older women trying to cut to the front. The younger Chinese lady behind me tells me no, don’t let her do that.
They are indeed rude, loud and cheaters.
I was in Singapore getting on a tour bus, now mind you, you put your hands on a boarding rail to pull yourself up, and here's this Chinese guy underneath my arm trying to squeeze pass me. Needless to say he got an elbow in the face. He wasn't to happy about that. But he understood what I was saying. And this is just one of many time this happened...
One person on your personal experience on this planet earth doesn't make a spring. Looks like you are not a good person to begin with.
Why when that happens you guys don’t call the police? One time one of them tried to scam me with money and I called the police
I met a Chinese guy in Laos who was very selfsacrificing and warmhearted.
Maybe it's just a small sample, but I just want to say not all Chinese people are like that.
Yes but alot are like that which is why they have a rep
Thank You for a nice program about Laos. It's been ten years since I travelled there on my bike, and you gave me a positive vibration. Greetings from Vietnam.❤
Same as in Cambodia!!! They pretty much own Thai, Lao and Cambodia. As for Vietnam, they’re afraid to bully them!!!
its like in europe. we are owned by USA..... money money.
China does not own Thailand you will not see Chinese flag with every Thai flag,trade yes but control no.
@@dolmarf411Rubbish the US does not control Europe.
Vietnam and China are friends have been since Ho Chi Minh's Early rise to power all throughout the Vietnam War there friendship started under Communist Russian war efforts to Vietnam they are happy to help and Support and Exist together Ho Chi Minh also had started War with Cambodia's Karma Rouge all while receiving War efforts from China ECT this is why they feel they have no need to show respect.
Would you have US own Cambodia instead with no building infrastructures, but will sell you military weapons and equipments, and a base?
Thanks!
Thank you Todd 🙏
Hey Mate! Been watching for some time on and off...just want to say. I really love your music choices. Strikes a note in the soul...know what I mean? Cheers.
I have lots of Chinese friends but the Chinese in Laos feel like they own the country. We were in Boten, Laos, a border town. We were shocked when we went to a Chinese grocery store and they would not accept the Laotian Kip. Nope! They would only accept Thai Baht, American dollars or Chinese Yuan. I'm like WTF, this is Laos! Not only that, but the Chinese clerk was extremely rude and wouldn't look at us until we practically got into his face and told him we were ready to check out our groceries.
Chinese are generally rude, especially business owners and how they treat their customers.. Unlike the Japanese.
Laos signed a 90 year comtract with China to build roads and infrastructure. They’re taking Laos over and will erase Lao history in the next few generations like China is doing to all the African countries
So badly to hear this for Laos people 😢
@@pheaksin4524
Likely the proprietor's sister-in-law, the reason for the downfall of the civilization.
WTF... I wonder why are they there anyway?... I blame it on the Lao Government.
Thanks Todd for taking us along with you again. Sad news indeed about the old lady dying and the daughter going off with a Chinese driver. I wonder if he paid the mother for her. Those trucks are huge, so it is no wonder that the roads are being churned up the way that they are. Mina's command of the English language is amazing. She is such a bright little girl. God bless you all on your travels.😀❤🙏
is it english or aussie slang
The Laos people are very kind, the opposite of the Chinese !
They treat Laos people with contempt, have seen it a few times,
C’est entièrement la faute du gouvernement laotien
Cause lao are poor
IT's what happen when you're daddy is a sell out bietch, They have not respect for the kids either.
Enjoyed your video once again Todd, Neenee and Mina...........don't worry about rude ppl, they will do it to the wrong person one day.......safe travels and have fun ❤
I like and worked in Laos for 22 years and was back for a visit in May 2024. the Chinese belt and road policy has allowed China to virtually own the country, try getting into the Chinese zone in northern Lao, you won't.
Most of my Lao friends hate the Chinese.
At the same time enjoying the fast rail and other infrastructure and wealth that the Chinese bring no doubt. Yes we westerners like the quaint 3rd world Laos but you can't stop progress. China is single handedly lifting Laos out of the poverty brought by thousands of tons of our bombs, don't forget that mate.
@@peterelliott2914lifting Laos out of poverty? Please
@@SavanSithideth The most tourists, the most exports, the most infrastructure such as high speed rail and hydropower. Without these things Laos would remain a bombed out backwater. I have lived in all of the countries around there and seen it for myself.
@@peterelliott2914 they’re not free.. I would rather see Laos as backwater country than being indebted to Chinese and poisoned the country with all kind of chemicals. ບັກຮູຂີ້ນີ້ສິມາວ່າຈີນມາສ້າງເມືອງລາວ ເຮັດໃຫ້ລາວພົ້ນລຸດພົ້ນຈາກຄວາມຍາກຈົນວ່າຊັ້ນ... ມັນເຫັນແຕ່ປະໂຫຍດຂອງມັນຫັ້ນລະ
@@peterelliott2914 where do you live? It is infrastructure the majority will never get to use and will never get the benefits it purports to bring. The bombs were American. So all these house will get demolished to widen the roads to bring through more trucks. Then whole streets of towns get there businesses destroyed to put in overpasses so the speed trains with tourists can come in faster. The girls still get taken to the Chinese zone and imprisoned. Everyone gets f..d because the corrupt officials employ their own companies etc. Or build unrequired infrastructure. Lets make Lao like a bunch of Chinese high-rise cities eh And then all the next generation will care about is running around trying to make money as fast as they can without any morals or ethics on how they do. Callous angry unfriendly except when trying to deceive to get money losing majority of culture while this all destroys Lao person
I asked my fiance how her family was going to feel about her bringing an American home to meet them. She quickly told me that as long as she didn't bring some guy from China home, there would be no problem. I saw later how the Chinese boys treated the Lao women in public. Shameful.
I see lots of anglo men which are just sex tourists.
OH, white supremacy now spreads from the US to Laos
They should call the police
I was in laos in April..So many rude Chinese at the airport. The Chinese think they own laos now too n It's only going to be worse..😢
We agree. We don't like rude people no matter who they are. So sad for that older child having no guidance following the passing of grandma. Was it her grandma? No matter where you go in Lao, there is a story to be told. And Todd, you are the master. Hope your travels have been ok. Sending much love to you , Neenee and Mina. from Jim and Harriet
Thank you for sharing your clip i'm enjoy your video as specialy in laos i missed alot of places which i left there when i was 10 during lao falling since 1975
Nice, your daughter is very sweet and happy. Enjoy mate, they grow fast.
We were there in September, loved it.
i met so many rude chinese people in laos while i was traveling there
Same here.
You guys are "bus-third" yourself first. Look into the mirror why you are not liked in the first place.
That's a wonderful thing yourself and your wife taking nee nee on good on you good people
I have relatives living in Vientiane saying some Chinese businesses are refusing Lao kip. Has that happened to you?
There in itself is the problem.. they wouldn’t careless about Loas their adopted country .. self centered Chinese immigrants
It’s very unfortunate that a group of people behaving badly that it becomes the normal stereotype of all. I to have experienced rude Chines and even rude Lao locals in my travels. I have to overlook that because the majority of Laotian people are very welcoming and they show their hospitality…it’s evident in your video. Keep up the good work my friend. 🙏
boycott the chineese business
Rude chinese 100 %
Love the sound of rain on tin roof.
yep though Ive only been to Vientianne once, the Chinese tourists in Thailand have been rude, noisy in hotels and generally shown little interest in the behavoir
The same thing happened to me in Thailand 2016... everyone was lining up butt this Chinese lady n her kid was pushing their way to get to the boat. As soon as they tried to push me out of the way...I yelled in English "You and your kid needed to wait and be in line like everyone!" she looked around went to a different line and continued to do the same thing!
the chinese in the usa has better manner than those in china and other countries it seems from my experiences. i got my share of rudess when i visited china a couple years back.
11:45 The clouds are beautiful!
I was just in Vientiane for a couple days and was shocked by how bad this issue is there. They are rude in my country too but just mildly as they are afraid to provoke a violent reaction. At the airport in Vientiane they would just push there way to the front of the lines. Just before the flight was boarding I went in the men’s room and they were all in there having a pre-flight cigarette…
They are like that everywhere! Here in the USA, it’s very embarrassing when they have no manners or etiquette in public.
United Snakes is a sheet-ho country. You don't know what manners are.
Not in the US we don’t allow shit like that here.
@@vnick365 LMFAO SURE YOU DON'T i see it all the time in USA. only a few well off americanized chinese are had better manners and etiquette in public . the rest i see all the time are the same everywhere even at restaurants. smh They're like the asian version of ghetto culture people and asian version of racist like the kkk.
Ohhh welcome to phonsavanh, my hometown 😊
, I wish I have a young ages like you and Neenn Tod, but Enough is enough and enjoyed my retirement here in beautiful country I love freedom and created my permanent place with lovely house. Phonsavan and Phoukhoune used to be flying high on skyline. Thank you and good luck with your times in Laos with your beautiful family...
Thanks for the video, Todd ❤
Expat Chinese can be extremely rude, had a similar negative experience at a Chinese owned grocery store in Argentina. The Argentine staff were polite but the Chinese owners acted as if they hated their customers.
I will be in Laos again in November how are the roads from Vientiane to Luang Proband? was thinking about renting a car and driving to see more.
Take your time and you'll be fine. The mountain roads here are no good for being in a hurry 😉
Time to put a positive spin on your ease of travel between the provinces Todd :: Anyone in Laos with mobile data must have seen yours and Neenee’s RUclips channels by now ‼️👍🏼😉 May be worth putting magnetic channel logos on your vehicles...
Love you brother! You and your family are amazing! You really have changed my eyes for truth and happiness! Please be safe in your travels! please don’t stop. I will be retiring soon and I was thinking about Thailand but you have opened ❤my eye to other things and different places! Helping others like you do is amazing!,,,,, 🫶🏻👊🏻😍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Been twice to Laos and found the people there very friendly. I Usually prefer the local stall beside the road as it original local food. Did saw some chinese from mainland here and there. Will be heading there again to see their Tet new year this coming January. Sometime it just misunderstanding as I found out those rude people turn into normal people once I speak to them in their language! My experience is only around Pakse and Salavan only. Never been to other part of Laos yet. Am trying to learn laos language before heading there again. Enjoy watching your video.
This is one of the Chinese traditions. Most Chinese were taught at a young age to polite to the people they known. They were taught not to engage with strangers. This is to protect their privacy and avoid danger encounter. When they open up, they feel like they are naked and bad things are awaited to be happened. Just because you are ready to social and open, people don't know you need to welcome you into their life. Putting a smile on the face, does not mean it is safe behind closed door.
🤗🙏🏼!
Enjoyed it, thank you. Clever little girl, isn’t she 😂
Take care 🙏🏼
I think it's the older Chinese who come from the countryside in China who are rude. It must come from the desperate conditions they lived through during the Mao era when there were so many famines that killed millions of Chinese people, si they feel like they have to push their way through the crowds all the time or they will starve. The young Chinese I worked with in San Francisco are very very nice people. They are very smart and eager to learn through my mentoring.
I understand the anti-Chinese Westerners and you have your own view doesn’t mean people should agree with you.
@@larryhongkham694 Yet so so many do. Why do you think that is? Maybe because they do behave this way 🤔
It used to be everybody complained of the rude American tourists (maybe it is still the case). Now, people complain of the rude Chinese tourists. In the future, they will complain of somebody else.
So agree. Witnessed very arrogant behaviour in Luang Prabang 😢
I was an expat in Singapore, have seen many horrible behaviors from Australian tourists treating local Singaporean like they were a subclass being. One time, I was at Bali for a conference and afterward decided to relax at the beach under the tiki hut, enjoying the ocean. However, 2 Australian couple came by and asked me if I can move to another spot since I was only one person and they prefer my spot as the tiki hut at my spot had better shade coverage for 2. I declined. And the Australian couple proceeded to call the resort service manager, the poor manager keep telling them tiki hut is first come first serve, But there is another area, with bigger tiki hut, but there will be service charge. They 2 couple just went off shouting at the manager how Indonesian just don't under what 'service and customer' mean. The rude Australians eventually left and out of curiosity I talked to the manager as why did they not just comp the Australians the 'service-charge' area, manager told me, that the 2 Australians did the same thing to another couple yesterday. Despicable Australians.
We aren't all like that mate.lol
Indeed they were. We Australians are not all rude and entitled. Some of us are humble and kind.
How much did you get paid to write that wumao? Everytime something negative is said about your motherland china the wumao comes in its defence. You are so see through and transparent. You are an illegal illegitimate totalitarian regime, and your reputation around the world as you said is despicable. See you in the South China Sea.

Good video Todd, thanks for posting. Sadly that kind of extremely rude behaviour is more and more common all over the world, and it's not just the Chinese, though they do see to be the most blatant. Some other nationalities are just as bad but in more subtle (sly) ways. Travel safely, and again thanks for sharing.
Can you please tell me what the red identification was outside the restaurant that you mentioned. We are hoping to spend the better part of a month in Laos next year, and I don't want my holidays ruined by rude Chinese shop owners. Thank you 🙏
Last year in my trip to Luang Prabang I was incenced by the Chinese tourists taking pictures of the monks in their morning walk with their camaras and mobile phones right on the monks faces. That highspeed train white elephant was expensive in more ways than one.
Todd. Where's the troopy bud.. safe travels and yes. They are the same in the Philippines, Bali and soon to see how they are in Vietnam.. thought of trying Laos and Cambodia but only have a month for our 21st anniversary... Hope you, nee nee and the princess have a great journey. Don't get to watch much RUclips at the moment..
This is Episode 4 of a short series.. I explain in E1 why we're not in the Troopy 😉👍
@@NowinLao will have a look shortly.. cheers buddy and stay safe in your journey
👍👍good ! Yes agree about some rude Chinese people! I don’t like rude people either with no manners! Cheers mate 🍻
The trouble with Laos is they borrowed big,mainly from China through the Belt and Road initiative.Some have accused China of carrying out debt-trap diplomacy by luring Laos into taking huge loans.Now they don't have the money to service those loans.
yeah, at least the Chinese built the infrastructure in Laos.Compare this to the plundering of resources by the French during their rule or the massive bombings of the country by the US during the Vietnam war.The West only brought mayhem and destruction to Laos.
Also daily Debt trapped by American bombies.
@@thinkingaloud5379 Also thousands of acres of land destroyed by the chemicals the US bombers used also in Vietnam
they are doing it to Cambodia, and other nations also.
@@ritmaha They are doing it all over asia.
Rude people are everywhere 😮 just continue your journey & stay safe 🤗
Chinese are generally pretty rude. Zero manners
Subtitles would be great for the video. Immersive translate does a great job generating them
For me Laotians are the most friendly and peaceful in Asia. Love from Vietnam
That was really sad about the three women. I hope this youngest did not wind up in the Special Economic Zone in Laos at the Triangle. You are correct about the Chinese Todd. I won't elaborate
Mina started out very good on seatbelts but by my count she only had her seat belt on 1 out of 3 times and that is not a passing grade. 🙁I think that the border is probably closed overnight so the trucks start coming in the morning. Sad for the daughter/mother.
The Lao and Chinese don’t mix,they don’t talk too each other.
A Lao man played in a billiards tournament in China, and WON! made quite a sum of money. Later while driving home to Laos he pulled over for a disabled car blocking the road. As he exited the car he was set upon by 4 Chinese men. They beat the Laos man and told him not to return.
If you are regularly in the company of the common denominator, you must be ready to become a common man of action.
One can see it clear that in Luang Namtha one side of the town is populated by Chinese and other one is populated by Laos folk.
They all keep to themself.
@@davidmiller1627 Guess it happened in China near the Lao border.
I Sihanoukville the Hugh Rang Rover with Chinese inside throw my dear friend of the bike.
When police came they bribe them and they gave the 1000 dollars for hospital bill.
As hr had interior bleeding his hospital bill was much more and he expired on death bad.
1000 dollars for human life.
Yes they were good dressed,well English spoken and of course was not the driver negotiating
The negotiator was the official from embassy.
Try went away with manslaughter as they went through red light.
Very sad and ambulance took him from Sihanoukville to Phnom Penh.
After one week he died.
That was a year before they arrived in big numbers and took Sihanoukville businesses over.
The good Khmer Buddhist people don’t gamble,even the street wheeling type do not gamble.
Why not? Who’s the racist there? I thought Chinese only don’t mix with blacks
The Chinese is using your country get them out before too late they will steal copy an buy u out
I have been on that awful road from Phonsawan. It is full of lorries 🚛 heavyweights lorries and heavy traffic. As far as I know the lorries goes to Vietnam and down to Danang where there is a deep sea port. It is an import route
What temperature is it there in Celsius?
Lao is not cheap anymore, inflation is out of control and the Chinese are adding to the inflation as well as not trying to make the Chinese currency replace the Kip, try using kip in the Chinese zone in northern Lao, they won't accept it
nice of you to help out the family of 3 women. Few if any opportunities in the provinces.
There is only so much you can do.
I buy food & drink & give them a little cash then move on
I live in udon Thani Thailand near the Vientiane border so can expect the trucks coming through in the near future as the train link will be coming this way.
Other than the small number of Chinese trucks that are coming as part of the GMS CBTA (Thai trucks will be crossing to China effective September 1) you won't be seeing many. Most goods will come by rail.
Love the show keep it up love the show, love your wife more, only joking, keep up the good show.
Im so I sorry to hear about the beautiful family 😢
That version of Let it be, leaves a lot to be desired.😮😮
Not all copyright free music is gold.. but this is better than most of the funky elevator music they use in videos these days 😉
Name the area street city in laos which is not safe and list of apps that need to be installed before comming to laos
nice weather 🌧☔
I have heard that rich Chinese people can force Lao people to sell land. If Laos owners refuse, the Chinese millionaires can go to Lao government to get help to force Lao owners to sell land.
No not true. For start if you are not Lao you cant own land only rent. Also the local authoraties that I have come in contact with(in the 18 years I have lived in Lao) would not allow such land transactions to occure.
@@chrisperkins7331 Chinese can own anything in Laos
@@bohouston1 They can't own land..unless they become citizens.
@@ThePatriot-gm1fg money talk! It’s easy to get Lao citizenship if you have money and connections. How I know? I have relatives who went back to Laos and using Lao passport when leaving and entering Laos so that they don’t have to pay visa fees and still maintain their US citizenship.
@@charlesmcdonald8654 wrong about what? ພວກສູຫັ້ນສິຮູ້ຂີ້ຫຍັງ
I gave the local police in vientiane a right whack on social media recently due to them singling me out on numerous occasions doing absolutely nothing wrong at all, they just seen me as an easy target, they held me until i paid their askes for, first time was 500k 2nd was only 100k due to me having my partner laos with me, the first time I was alone they pretended to not understand English so they did not have to answer my questions as to why they targeted me out of a whole group of local motorists doing the exact same thing, rightfully, until I paid them so I could just get outta there, then they magical spoke English! Such a great country sadly tarnished by dishonest police you could easily label as thieves!
You never stated what you did wrong. Many who live here will tell you the same thing.. if you've done nothing wrong they wave you on.
No helmet? No license? Seatbelt? Whether they single you out or not they're still finable offenses.
@NowinLao I didn't do anything wrong, I was on a scooter, helmet, licence, everything legal, just driving with the traffic like usual, next minute they fly up beside me, 2 on their bike, cut me off and order me to follow them back to their boss in the booth on a corner, they played on the language barrier and pretended they didn't understand a word I was saying, until I paid, then it all changed! Literally done nothing wrong at all, they just seen an easy target and it was within the first couple of weeks of me getting to laos so I just wanted to get on my way, I. Education a lot more now on how to deal with the rotten ones, it's just a sad part of such a magic country
I guess it depends where ou live in Lao. I have lived near Pakxan for the last decade. I drive a scooter with no plates, and have never been stoped let alone fined. My point is not all Lao cops are like the onse in VT
@chrisperkins7331 yes I agree, I spend a lot of time on a bike there, rode to many towns on a crf250 never a problem, and also down south in pakse and surrounding areas also not a problem, it seems the only ones that are a problem are those in vientiane, I felt the need to warn other foreigners hence why I posted my experiences on social media, and as Todd touched on it in this video, the amount of bad feedback they must get on social media must be making a difference for the better 👍
@@aussiegoldtrolls Thanks for the clarification
I have seen rude Chinese in Cambodia where they drink their cans of beer and throw them on the ground.
😂
actually everyone is doing that there. but i saw chinese spitting on the floor in a normal restaurant😂😂
I'm a Lao-American and my family visits back home alot. The Chinese are exploiting Lao and the Government is allowing it.
Consistently in the top 2 most hated tourists.
You just noticed? Enjoy your trip
We don’t like the mainlanders here in the States either.
They are extremely rude, everywhere!!!!
I'm sorry to hear about that experience. I've been living in China for 6 months and haven't encountered people like that. If they behaved that way here, they would quickly go out of business. I'm not saying that rude people don't exist here-rude people are everywhere in the world. I hope you don't encounter others like them.
I lived in China for 6 years ,i loved it there being back two times this year,
What are all these trucks carrying?is it rebar?
Your aussie bantering is awsome. I feel I can relate to you as an aussie/lao guy. Its hard when you're in Australia and you're a Lao person, but in Lao you are an Australian. Keep up the eye opening works you're doing. I don't know how you keep from NOT swearing in your videos lol. On a sadder note, the story abou tthe young girl and her grandmother.... sad, but that's how life is there. *sigh*, What I would do if I won the Lottery here.
Thanks mate 😉👍
Hello sir how can i get 2 or more years visa....?? M from India.
The Chinese always seem to overstay their welcome.
Sorry to hear about the elder lady passing.. just remember, you tried.
There’s a reason why Lao people migrated out of china 🤷🏽♂️
God may bless you all
China taking over Laos, Cambodia etc etc
Yes is bad invest and create jobs for the people ?😂
yet our people are struggling even more :(
Takk!
Tom! Thank you very much. Too kind mate 🙏
I truly love your videos
Thanks Scott 😉
Had a physician friend who became so exited when China opened up for travel and was one of the first ones to take advantage of that. Sooo Excited! However, coming back he sang a different tune. The country was interesting, but found the Chinese to be the rudest people on Earth. I see that nothing changes when they live in other nearby countries!
With all The US propaganda against China , Why would a Chinese give a western the time of day,
That's why some people do not like to stayed in Chinese own hotel and they're rude everywhere they go..
When I visited Laos, I totally stay away from chinese own properties.
Had an experience in Bangkok in a grocery at terminal 21 this Chinese couple was holding up the line at checkout for at least 5 minutes to make sure they got their vat receipts. Also it takes them 5 minutes to buy a bts ticket.
Was on a biking group tour of Laos last nov/dec for 21 days at end of rainy season. Potholes, horrendous, not so bad on a bike as we can often ride around them, but in 4 wheel pickup must have been very difficult, we changed the nick name to land of a million potholes from million elephants, which seem far and few. But some roads up north had been made almost impossible, our 4x4 back had to pull the mini bus out quite a few times and almost half our group slide over at one time or another, but over all a great trip. We go back again this year. Correct about big trucks they don’t give way to bikes, lost count of times I had to get completely off the road. We went all the way up to Boten, the Chinese/Laos special zone. Weird place.
A quick one Todd: Oz visa for Mina. Sorted yet? Love your work 😁😁
No. The MP has gone quiet. Sent several emails.. nothing 😏
@@NowinLao Yep DAN is spineless like his master Albo
Same in Thailand and NZ arrogant..jeez mate those trucks give me the shits.... travel safely guys... good morning Nee Nee and Mina 🙏🙏... been a few confrontations... in Viet nam.. with the Chinese... my heart ❤️..sank on the sad news 😢
In Thailand I would suggest to ignore them. In NZ, give them a welcome ;)
10:19 Ha ha... I was praying Mina didn't drop those keys over the edge ( lol )..Ah yes 13:38 I remember those Laos girls hammering the beer from last time ( ha) 18:39 Across the road where your eating, is your favourite Chinese Restaurant mate ( lol )..it was raining very heavy that day...
Very sad news mate ,about the passing of that Grand Mother,and equally disturbing the 14 year old,allegedly took off with a Chinese guy..Cheers...Kenno
The country no longer belongs to the Lao people no more.
What are the trucks hauling? They are all highboys with a low covered load, meaning what they are hauling is very heavy.
Yes, I was interested to know that, too.
Beer lao
Steel for construction and often cement and minerals ( from the gold mines )
@@oliverblank6515 Cement can be piled high, and minerals are generally hauled in enclosed trailers. I was thinking steel, but had no idea they manufacture it there.
Many folks prefer prefer 10 impolite Chinese for neighbors than 2 British drunks, just saying 😂
I'd like to see those stats.. 😉
