I love your enthusiasm for this quaint little town that doesn't seem like it's been touched by Western corporate consumerism yet, just good people trying to make an honest living and live a happy life.
So wonderful to see Steady Eddy stone sober but naturally high on the raw physical beauty of the lovely mountains-draped Vang Vieng, Thailand. We can't to see more of her through your eyes!
That's beautiful. I loved Laos food when I was there. The French influence of baguettes mixed with spicy food of the region. Yumm. I get the same feeling of being glad to be alive looking out my Cha am window at the mountains and sea. Its a great feeling.
They got a bus service from Udon Thani to Vang Vieng. Udon has 2 Bus Stations. No.1 is the Down Town & No.2 is on the Ring Road. The journey time is about 4 hours. I put in capitals below what should take you to an article of somebody who did the journey & I added a bit of extra info you might find useful below. - Udon Thani has Baht Buses (Songtaews) that run from early morning to early evening. If I put the initials we’re you find all the info for these my comment will disappear but they are the one between E & G and the one after A. Look for Smart Map Songtaew Udon. Then you should see a red thumb nail with a yellow duck & that is the page you want. If your going early morning though I would just get a Grab Taxi or Tuk Tuk. Coming back though if your heading into Udon City centre jump the Baht Bus. The Baht Bus No. is No.6 & costs 10 THB. HOW TO GET TO VANG VIENG FROM UDON THANI GABI TRAVELS.
We stayed at the Thavisouk Hotel in vang vieng and had an uninterrupted view of the mountains across the river.We took a sedate canoe down the river and visited a 21st century version of a 1960's hippie camp-totally weird.They (lao authorities) had already banned tubing.

Have you ever been to Nepal Eddie? If you wanna see more spectacular mountains the Himalayas 🏔️ then head to Pokhara, it’s just a short flight from Kathmandu, I wouldn’t recommend the bus. It’s one of the main mountain towns where climbers meet to climb Annapurna. Wonderful town and sits next to a large lake! The return flight from Bangkok to Kathmandu is around £212 and takes just 2hrs30mins. I went there about 3 years ago to meet my son who got engaged at the Annapurna base camp. The town of Pokhara has good cheap hotels and restaurants and what’s really incredible is seeing the sunrise over the Himalayas, magical and magnificent 😊. Yes Vang Vieng is great too, I was there about 15 years ago, even the main road was still a gravel road and most people headed to the river to ride on big water rings over the rapids, do they still do that?
I used to go there once a year when i had a Thai business visa.Things are much cheaper there than Thailand. Thats 1 good thing about Asian you can go to a lot of different countries and it costs nothing.
the view is nice, the small city attracts many backpackers... if you are into daytime activities it's great (for me to hot), the nightlife is a bit boring with mostly backpackers and almost no locals
😂 the hills are alive with the sound of Eddie!! It’s good when the sun is shining , especially in south west E ngland.. Eddie just wait for rainy season … You will need a good pair is welly boots.. You are living a good life at the moment Eddie But as you get older , you will want to settle down , at the moment you are just a nomad! Just make up your mind what you want for the next 10-20 years , can’t keep running! Cheap hotels and beer and cafes ?. You really have to think that you are getting older and I hope for your sake you stay in good health? I remember dear old Kev in Thailand.. RIP ..he was living the dream, buy at least he had a house to live in and a good woman… Eddie I don’t really think you know what you want? Think!, before it’s too late 😢
It is certainly cheaper than the actual alpine experience. Few months ago, i took my wife to the Swiss alps. We spent almost 10 grand for one week. And we aren't big spenders either. Freaking tomato soup was 50 quid. 3 star hotel was 450 per night.
@@steadyeddylive7801 it was in Grindelwald, Switzerland. Fish and chips were 75 quid. I know, the place is amazing surrounded by the alps but still i don't think those prices can be justified.
Be careful Ed lad, it says that you should exercise a high degree of caution in Loa due to ongoing security concerns related to banditry, crime, spiked food & drinks - take great care ed 🙏🇬🇧
Hi, Eddy..., The mountains look like "Montana"..., except for our snow-capped mountains ! ! In Southwest Montana and the Rocky Mountains..., warm days and cool nights... Great for Fly-Fishing for ( Rainbow Trout ) on the "Big Hole River" and a few "Cold Beers 🍺 🍺", and cool nights for sleeping... * Eddy..., Excellent video and very informative, and "Thank you" for sharing the video ! ! * I really like "Vang Vieng", Laos..., a beautiful little town... * * Eddy..., please show us more of "Vang Vieng", Laos... A beautiful corner of the World... Love the mountains... "Semper Fi" Mike in Montana :)
there are reports on the news in England that a Yeti has been spotted in Vang Vien that wandered down from the mountains ,i think the mystery has been solved its "you",, make a video in that barbers shop you walked past and get a shave and haircut,you are looking a right scruffy sod of late
@@steadyeddylive7801Ed again with the fallacy of relative privation; every second thing that comes out his mouth. My favourite is “I’m not an alcohol dependant because I was more of an alcohol dependant before”.
Can i add ? Lots of advice here on how to live your life Eddie. Uh, how many countries have you been to? Including the risky ones? How much more have you than all of us? But we love to tell others how to live.
So let me do a wee bit of checking the boxes.... You paid $50 for laos visa, and it's actually $35. You will get paying $10 to exit, as that's laos exit fee, so $60 just to sneak 'n peak You paid 110 baht in a squashed sardine mini van from udon Thani to noch Kai, when the train was 11 baht with lots of room. You paid an arm n leg to a scam taxi to take you to "his hotel" for bringing your suit case right to reciption, then imediately disappeared, after he getting his paws greased with a nice kick back (that hi end hotel is his hotel, meaning where he gets nice kick backs) You could buy a suit case of razor blades if ya spent the coin more wisely. Just saying ...... 👍
Agreed, but it's more interesting seeing the creativity of a vologer, along the way, than just getting there any old way Example there's some big time vologers in Philippines that I just watched, and instead of the showing the do's and don't of getting their visa processed going to another country, they just throw everything over the fence to an agency, for them to do the work. Nothing creative about them, only with thumb nails, click baiting, aka masturbating Most tuber's their info is as useless as tits on a boar 😂
It's not as easy as you making it out go to Thailand leave Thailand! Your only allowed 2 visits and exampt stamps 3rd time you will knocked back and can't enter get a retirement visa for 12 months

I'm getting the chills Eddie, feel like I'm in the Swiss Alps.
Those mountains look very efficient. I've added to my 'places to visit' list
efficient. 🤣🤣
Great to see you are enjoying your travels Eddie, as always wonderful video, keep up the good work, cheers mate.
Thanks, will do! Hope all's well, mate
Fantastic! Lovely setting !
Woweeee back to England for thee.
I love your enthusiasm for this quaint little town that doesn't seem like it's been touched by Western corporate consumerism yet, just good people trying to make an honest living and live a happy life.
Yes, it's a happy little town. My favourite place in Laos.
Good to be alive Mr Eduardo. Enjoy your stay in Vang Vieng. Salute! 👍
So wonderful to see Steady Eddy stone sober but naturally high on the raw physical beauty of the lovely mountains-draped Vang Vieng, Thailand. We can't to see more of her through your eyes!
Good to hear from you, Donald
Wow what a great view of those mountains looks like your going to have some fantastic videos of this place 👍
great place Eddy......thanks for sharing....stay safe
You from Liverpool Eddy. Love the presentation and the voice always reminds me of home. Good luck!!x
Thanks so much!
hey Eddie Im looking forward to some longer videos showing this town. Looks fantastic.
Coming soon!
That's beautiful. I loved Laos food when I was there. The French influence of baguettes mixed with spicy food of the region. Yumm. I get the same feeling of being glad to be alive looking out my Cha am window at the mountains and sea. Its a great feeling.
The real mongers want to know little edd stories
Looks a brilliant place. I will definitely visit this place. Enjoy Eddy.
How far is that from udon thani, drive
Several hours, I would guess

Thanks Eddie

Love it Eddy! Looks like the backdrop from a classic Bond movie or something
Thank you for the Video, im looking on Agoda for hotels there for later on in the year it looks really nice, cheers mate
Is the weather hot? I was thinking it was slightly cooler during this time of year.
No. It's always hotter this time of the year
Your looking great eddy.
Thank you kindly
It does look great.
Thanks Eddie. I could sure use a jolt of life like that. I spent a month in Vientiane. Now know what I missed.

Looks good. Good food. Small bars. That will do me
Looks good Ed. Love places with impressive mountains around. I,d have to rent a moped and roam around the countryside.
Stayed there many years ago when I was backpacking . Great place . Enjoy edd🍺🍺
Me too back in 2018. Loved backpacking and going into the river!
Looks like Switzerland 😮. Found some razors 👍😀.
Surely you can't compare it to your beautiful hometown of Toxteth, Liverpool Eddie.🤓🇬🇧
Looks nice there .
Brilliant
Thankyou
Looks really great there :)
What do you like the most Laos or siam reap
I am more used to Siem Reap
Top man steady Eddie, you certainly do get about 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Where next Eddy, Luang Prabang ?

Buy the suitcase a beer….😂

Anything nice there for Little Eddy?!

Looks amazing Edward 👍
Visit the caves. Cool place.
Nice one Ed, looking forward to the hotel review 👍
What a lovely place Eddy.
Luang Prabang next? That was my favourite place in Laos - although I must admit I never went to Vang Vieng.
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
Sorry.. wheres bang vienge ? Hope you're well.
Laos
Thanks for showing Lao.
no luck with the razors mate LOL
Awesome Eddy 🙏

Really? Thanks for telling me.
I didn’t realize myself, I just googled loa and typed in, is loa safe to travel to
and that’s what it said
Was brilliant years ago. Last time i was there it had been taken over by koreans
Nice Eddie
Get on one of those microlights for your next video on sunday cross river sit on one of those platforms youĺ have a great day with all the Laos people
I saw one of those out today
Get on one would be your best vid ever do it live

Jeez .. It's nice there. But not THAT nice. Have the local tourist board offered you a few free Beerlaos ? 😅
You should go to Pokhara
Nepal
Mountain scenery is great but the beautiful Town bit is lost on me.
Some great bars here
@@steadyeddylive7801😂 Typical alcoholic talk.
Eddie you look a wreck stop drinking before it’s too late.
Its too late.
Vang Vieng certainly is a stunning place ! Not been there for 10 yrs. I loved the food in the Irish bar especially the pizza's. Enjoy Eddy 😜👍
I'll have to get over there for a sticky beak
Looks like the wild west
Yeah but how do you *really* feel about the place? Seriously, it is absolutely stunning! Thanks for sharing, Ed.
It’s an absolute dump 😂
Vang Vieng is amazing mate.
Well mentioned when you said we are all missing boat or stuck in some council home.
The river water quality is being destroyed by those big hotels throwing dirty smelly water , the place was much better 18 years ago.
Certainly beats the grey, wet and dreary uk
Ed I see you walked past a barbers......... I'm just saying.😃
there are reports on the news in England that a Yeti has been spotted in Vang Vien that wandered down from the mountains ,i think the mystery has been solved its "you",, make a video in that barbers shop you walked past and get a shave and haircut,you are looking a right scruffy sod of late
yep - Eddie - you need to get out more.....
Eddie, go to Italy to see beautiful towns and cities. All the towns you have recently filmed look the same and they are tacky and not well planned.
I went to Italy many years ago. Too expensive to travel long time
The mountain is marvellous, however the scruffy looking town is far from lovely stuff..
I've seen far scruffier towns than this
The scruffy looking town is part of the charm, lovely place! 👍
@@steadyeddylive7801 very true Eddy, and so have I, but I wouldn't call them lovely ...

Eddie get your fruit intake up
In the tubing is still going then. Get involved eddie
He's overcome with emotion how pathetic 😅
Nahyou ve probably seen a mountain
A complete waste of space!!!
What is?
You sound happy Eddie. And rightly so looks a really nice place. I reckon you've sold it to me ?
That’s not a question.
Cut down on the pop and get another shave - you’ll look and feel much butter
hi eddy, if they still have a ballon ride going..definitely worth doing.. especially at twilight like I did.. cheers 🍻
It really has character Edd you won’t get that in Pattaya mate do you think your retire in Pattaya Edd
No plans just yet
You do talk some rubbish
Why don't u make a video.
So let me do a wee bit of checking the boxes....
You paid $50 for laos visa, and it's actually $35.
You will get paying $10 to exit, as that's laos exit fee, so $60 just to sneak 'n peak

You could buy a suit case of razor blades if ya spent the coin more wisely.
Just saying ...... 👍
Thank you Simon Calder👍
Ur welcome Simon be-atch 🔥
It’s hilarious how Ed doesn’t realise that the taxi hotel ordeal was a typical scam. He was bewildered. Typical uneducated monger alcoholic.
