Beautiful Laos country sight.
Hello 🇦🇺 AUSTRALIA ສະບາຍດີ 🇱🇦LAOS
Great act of charity you guys did to that family!May God bless you both!
You always put a smile on my face with your music selections... thanks for another great video
That's great to hear Rick.. another viewer with great taste in music 😁😉
Glad you enjoy it, thanks mate
That touched my heart when you blessed the family and how she humbly showed her thankfulness..tears of restoration in humanity..ty..xoxo 🥰
You're so much more than a travel vlog. You really show the cultural side of Laos. You would make a great documentary if you combined all the smaller segments.
Sorry about your head, been there done that.
Your 2 have such a wonderful good hearts and generosity. God Bless You both and family.....
Well done you 👍for giving to that family ,very sad story,love and light to you mate 🙏🙏💙🏴
The hydroelectric dam and plant are probably under strict security by the government. In many countries because of terrorism and other possible threats, they limit access and definitely no photos or videos. Your intentions may be harmless, but posting those images can give some people an idea as to the layout for whatever harm they may want to cause. The grandmother and her granddaughters were very heart wrenching to see. Wish there was something more we could do for them. I’m up for ideas. Great videos as always. If you’re visiting more caves, I suggest keeping a hat in the car and a pair of good hiking shoes. One slip up could cause you a lousy day. Take care always and stay safe, mate. Regards to NeeNee.
That’s a very long bow to draw John. Any potential ne’er-do-wells can take the same roads to see the same thing from outside the perimeter fencing. A lot different to jumping the fence to go deep inside.
Another great video.
Thanks for helping Grandma, and being smart about her dog.
Yeah you don't want to be bit by dogs over here, you don't know what they may have.
Cheers Brian, thanks
hi Todd great vlog as always mate thanks for showing us such a lovely amazing country .
You're welcome.. thanks 👍
Definitely worth an explore! Caves arent my fave thing,,claustrophobia inducing ,,but to paraphrase those down unda rockers,,AC/DC for those about to rock/cave we salute you!. Its too hard to laugh right now,, so save the scrotum tree jokes for about 2 months. What I was thinking about was how baby easy a dry survival fortress would be. A Hmong mountain knife,,,bamboo,,and elephant ears leaves and some kind of fine cordage ,,in 20 minutes,,a watertight fortress to sleep 4,,and a couple mongooses to chase the cobras away..take care my friends,,,Ttyl,,,Marlon
Ok mate we don't expect you to crack your nut to being us all this amazing content. I felt that......good thing it wasn't worse.
Mate.. Peter, it stunned me. I caught myself just before I hit the deck. Didn't know what the f it was.
Still got a bit of a dent in my head 😝
Thanks mate 😉
🤗🙏🏼!
Enjoyed the video, thank you.
Sad story, raising her grandkids at her age, wish them the best 🙏🏼

Thanks mate 👍
17:25 No. Cow's speak a different dialect than Buffalo... Cow's speak Cowisaki and Buffalo speak Buffy...
As always, a beautifully done video. Showing the Lao people as they are. Friendly and humble. Our heart reaches out to the Grand Ma that has to take care of three orphan children. It's typical
of you Todd reaching out to the lao people with your warm generosity. You are every reason why we continue to support and watch you. Thank You! Love to both you and Neenee🙌🙌
Jim and Harriet. Richmond, Va.
Thanks Jim, Harriet.. by the sounds of it those girls are better off without their deadbeat dad anyway.
Hope you guys are well 🙏
It's marvellous how the grandparents step up to the plate and look after the kids. Wonderful way of life.
You need to wear your cap Todd .. or a helmet. Beautiful part of the world mate. Bushyboy Oz.
Black Betty one of my favourite songs
What's up Todd, if you put up an affiliate link to that shirt your wearing, I would buy one. Excellent work as always.
Thanks Riley.. unfortunately I've only ever seen these shirts at Luangprabang night markets. Pretty sure they don't do the affiliate thing.. if anybody else knows where these shirts can be purchased online I'll look into it.
Cheers mate 👍
Very nice 👍 location !
your such a beautiful couple, its one of the joys of adventures in Laos that you can make a difference with limited means, Go well. ( im happy, got our tickets Yippee )
She's the brains I'm the beauty 😉😝
Absolutely mate, doesn't take much at all 👌
How exciting, let the countdown begin 😁

Cheers mate
lol @ the big burnout pad 😂
What a beautiful village mate , you are a generous man GOD bless ,
Thanks Gordo, hope you're doing well mate 👍
@@NowinLao all good mate
Like the Queen - Yai has stability and would give her last kip to help out her family.
A calming peaceful influence in a hectic unstable world. Been through wars, floods, pandemics and recessions knowing there's always a light at the other end of the tunnel
Like when you have "just a thought".
Good. Job
The blessing that poor grandma of the orphans gave you Ay Todd was basically to ask that hundreds folds be returned to. I second that blessing.
MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY FOR WHAT YOU DO!!!! LOVE THE MUSIC AND YOUR VIDEOS !!!!! FROM A TEXAN THAT WISHES I COULD LIVE MY LIFE OUT DOING WHAT Y'ALL DO !!!🤠
Hey John, thanks mate. So good to hear positive comments about the music as not everybody's taste is the same. How you going with the flooding there mate.. not affecting you? I hear Dallas copped it good.
Take care mate
Similar to other areas but different - great scenery - nice people - 😄👍👌🙏👊👋 🍻
Todd and NeeNee on the Vlogg of Laos. #Vlogging_Laos_Like_Never_Before
Hello Todd , on the road again with pin-up Madame Ninians,you lucky man ((or mate if trying to speak Aussie). By the way we used to cross the Mèkong on that old ferry, some years ago, which was ruled by a real boss Madame who nobody dared to contradict , even the tough big lorry drivers !
Hi Guys That bit of rock that you cracked your noggin on Todd, is called a stalactite. The ones that grow up from the floor are called stalagmite's. The way to remember it is the "tite's" are holding on tight, and the "mites" might reach the "tite"s"
Well I shoulda known.. I was holding on tite to my head after it 😝
The rhyme for the way I always remember is a bit naughty...
The tights come down and the mite's ~~~~ You can fill in the rest yourself.
Mites like termites, they like to stay on the ground
15:18
I feel for the mum. She's too grateful to receive a free will support from you.
God continue to guide, guard and bless you and "Mia" Kongmany.

Through disappointment you still suffered and made a good video hahaha well done to you both how's the head, ohh by the way this video made back in April wow bit late old mate lol , take care todd and neene cheers
Next time walk first on the bridge may be you won't get a headache 🤣but nice gesture you did for that woman 👍Aloha to you both 🤙
Hahaha a taste of karma hey 😝
Hitting my head all the time in Lao is why I where a ball cap.
Todd, for the record........."You are correct". 👍
😁👍
Just as well you banged your head, otherwise you might have caused some damage mate !! :)
The cow/buffalo convo had me in stitches - me and my mrs have had exactly the same convo numerous times when randomly out driving - funny the random thoughts that provoke a convo. I showed the clip to her and as usual her response was " Husband, you farang all think same - you all ting tong think about animal yap-yap each other" lol
Definitely no damage done mate.. I'm disappointed nobody else has a view on this.. only us two dickheads 😝
Hope you're well mate 👍
Todd, did you ring your bell, or flogging your noggin?
Stay safe. Great video!
💯🔥💙👍
Hope you got little 1st aide kit in the truck brother.
👍😎
Wonderful that you could help the older woman and her girls. I went arse over in a cave like that in Cambodia. Jeremy was waiting outside (big 🐔) and didn't hear my screams, or at least he claims he didn't. 🙄 There's a lot of more appropriate things I could say about this video, but I have to say I love Neenee's top. Suits her very well. 🥰
ty..xoxo 🥰
I thought that was Nene's stomach growling!
It was, I just blamed the dog to not embarrass her 😉
Thanks for your hard working. Your English sounds is very correct, you are a polite kind charitable person I love. But can you try to find the beautiful girls women and things for to make your video more interesting please Sir.
Hi Todd, Thanks for continuing to upload videos, they are a great insight into Laos. A Question if you have time and maybe you or Neenee know the answer... In this video from 11:03 to 11:16 there are a few seconds showing a young guy who I would guess is on his way to or from school. Smartly dressed typical of Asian kids school uniform, and a rucksack is the giveaway.
So the question- Do you know if schooling is compulsary for all children in Laos and, is it Free or do the family have to pay to send their kids to school? I am aware of Mr Tsua and the English Language classes he provides for the children in Nong Por village, and he does that for no reward. (I am supporting his fund raising to build a new Schoolroom). The reason I ask is, in the last few years I've spent a lot of time in S. Africa and, I was stunned when I found out that all kids have to pay to go to school there, and it's flippin expensive.
Thanks Phil, I really enjoy doing it.
In Laos they have both government funded and private schooling. The latter predominantly in the larger cities. Education is compulsory and free at the government schools. Maybe a small amount paid as school fees, but I can't imagine any cost for the isolated poorer village students.
Wow.. I never knew that about S. African schools.. how ridiculous 😲
🙏🙏🙏
🙂👍
😉😉😉🤗🤗🤗🤗😊😊🙂🙂
Hey Todd. I’m currently living here in Hatkiang just outside of the Vientiane. I got a problem with ants. How do you get rid of them from inside the house.
I can’t even leave a food on the table without then munching on it’s soon as I turn around to do something else.
Any help be great. Keep up the good work. Oh yeah where the hell do I buy margarine to put on my toast?
I live on the 13 Highway if you want to get rid of ants you need 3 teaspoons of Sugar and 1 teaspoon of Borax. Add water and leave it in a covered container, you don't want the dogs or cats getting to it. Once the ants find it they take it back to the nest. Gone in 24 hours. Good hunting!
Hi when you do all these long travelling how easy is it to buy petrol or other fuels?
Oh wow they let u take picture ?
Great vlog as always Todd
It is a shame that businesses have not been able to reopen
It is awfully quiet in the village
Letting NeeNee test the bridge is useless Todd u weight more than she does
Todd caving without hiking or combat boots ? No way sir
Note to self send Todd a mining helmet
I'll accept that miners helmet 😉
Cheers
I thought it was going to be something similar to a u.s military base like Area 51 or Alice springs, Australia. you won't be allowed to go into pine gap (u.s. facility). let that be another adventure lol. i have families coming from Laos this week for a wedding whom I never met or know. maybe they can tell me about that place. thanks
you hit your head, just after you called your thongs flip flops. Stay safe mate, cheers.
Hey Todd, can foreigners own houseboats in Laos?
🇦🇺🙏🍺🤟
So you're saying the river water is slowly drying up? Like the Colorado River in the U.S., Sad if climate change is affecting the South East of Asia! Yes, the water spirits need to be summoned to help fix the water problems in that area which is slowly drying. I live in Thailand from the U.S. and the worst part of Laos I see is the roads that many, many, many of them need to be repaired. I am kind of like you and have lived in Thailand for 22 years but since my wife learned English I think that I was too lazy to go back to school and learn Thai which I should have done 22 years ago.
More like being held up rather than drying up.
Yeah.. I hear ya. Both Neenee and her son Koko speak English, so I'm not really forced to learn Lao. I should, I know, and very slowly getting there, but just don't have the time to take lessons like I need... and lazy 😏
Roads are shocking, yeah.
Cheers mate
It's not climate change when build cities in the desert. Then on top of that keep building and encouraging it.
Sorry Todd ...I wanted to write Madame NiNi.
Where is here? 😁
Xayaboury.. there's a map in the video 👌
The cows in lao don't speak Buffalo. Just smell like them..whaahaa
See .. red lao did that/
ty..xoxo 🥰
