Glad to see another Hmong festival! I love seeing all the girls in their fancy traditional clothes. Also glad to see you collaborating with For Riel, I enjoy their Newsmoto.
Good to see Claire and Jeeza along for celebrations.🤟👍
Nice to see the ladies in their traditional dress. I'm surprised to see so many with short skirts. Thanks Todd.
Happy New Year! 🎉

thanks for visist the hnomgs.. we are looking for paces.
Wowww... Yee Muas I didn't know you are a celeb.😮😅 enjoy and have fun.
Very beautiful costumes, I am from Laos, but haven't seen Hmong New Year before.
Todd as always a great vlog Looks like it was going to be a blast
And wow you did a good job with the Hmong song love it keep it up ❤️❤️🙏
Hey Todd, traditional dress just looks amazing, a must see I think. Take care Nev.
Always a treat to see the Hmong New Year Festival. We are planning to attend next year. It's so nice to see the colors on a huge big screen TV . As always Todd you are a Legend at this. Sending you all the best to you , 👍Neenee and Mina from Jim and Harriet
Great location to the Hmong New Years celebration. The hill top overlooking a community below and the expansion of it. So many people there all the lovely young lady in traditional garments. What is with the ball tause at beginning. Single female looking for future husband ❤❤. Hopefully everyone is having fun. Stay safe and healthy Todd Neenee and Mina also to Jeremy and Claire.❤❤❤❤😮😮😮😊😊😊
Love that Mina is doing finger hearts in the B&W at the end! Such a cutie
You can keep all your fancy star rated hotels. I reckon dinner in a small village with a family like that is a better, more heart warming experience than anything. Always love the photos at the end. They seem to really capture the moment. Choice of music 🎼 too ❤
Good morning Mr Todd, here's another video you took me to my hometown for the 3rd year 😅. Thank you so much and have fun with your trips
Hello Todd, Neenee and baby girl!! One day I hope to visit my peeps there! I haven't been back since I was 3 years old, now in my late 40s.. I will watch vicariously through your lens;)) Enjoy it my friend!
Thanks for the update Todd! It's appreciated. Don't forget to relax a little and enjoy the moment. 👍
Another awesome video Todd! Thank you for sharing our Hmong New Year celebration from Laos! Happy New Year to you guys!🙏❤✌
Good to see you all again! Lovely traditional clothes and head dresses........Really liked all the color and black and white stills. Thanks again, Todd and I'm so happy to see the celebration.
Again, thanks for another beautiful video mate!
As Always, Beautiful,Wonderful video. Great to see You are back, Enjoy Each Day Brother!!

Hey Todd, I'm Neng Vang who has been followed your vdos since I found your your y t channel and continued to watch your vdos in daily. Thanks for supporting my people and the Mong Community in Phonsavan Provinces. At first, I have nothing to share with you but I ask the God to provide everything that your family needs and give you the strength that you deserve it.
Thanks Todd, amazing to see this video of the festival. Shame I will miss it as I travel from Siem Reap (yes, another one!) next month. Assuming I get in and out of Thailand ok!
Thanks for the update buddy. Super cool! 🇬🇧🙏🏽🤙🏽

Hi Guys. Great to see how the Hmong know how to keep their cultural difference alive. It reminds me that although my family are not Hmong I should make an effort to get up the road next year and see it for myself. Great black and whites again, you really should consider a book, I am sure many would be interested.
Thanks for sharing Todd. You were wise to take a rest after Christmas in order to prepare for you mammoth task in January, especially the Hmong New Year celebrations. Looking forward with great excitement to the series coming up when you return home. Love and respect to all 3 of you and praying for your safe travel back home. May God bless you today and throughout 2024 😀🙏❤

Great videos as always. No worries mate. Take as long as you need to edit when you get back. Enjoy the moment. If I was there, I’d go bonkers taking photos of all the beautiful costumes. They are so beautiful and colorful. I’d burn up quite a few memory cards. Mina’s costume is so beautiful. Enjoy and stay safe. Cheers mate.

Welcome back to the game,Brother! I will never cease to be amazed by the sheer numbers of the delicate,,gorgeous women in the magnificent,,wonderful traditional clothing. The colors as well,,on a bit of an overcast day,, the colors just explode. Mina was looking a bit tired,,but I bet shes having an amazing time looking at and exploring the festival. Cant wait for the new series,,and I'm glad Troopy lived up to and maybe exceeded you expectations. We got smacked by bitter cold yesterday,,thru Sunday. The high today was minus 11f ,,windchill temp minus 35f. Northwest Montana was expecting more wind,,and there were area that were expected to hit minus80f. That is some wicked cold dangerous temps🥶🥶🥶 very bitter indeed. Bare skin in that freezes in about 2 minutes. Glad you're doing well,,all of you,,hi to Mina ❤❤❤ take care,,see you next week Ttyl,,,Marlon

HI TODD, FROM DAYS 2-5 OF THE HMONG NEW IN PHOUN SAVANH HAVE THE MOST PEOPLE & ACTIVITIES. You went on the First day.
With all that ball tossing, there must be a cricket team in the making.
I would be an added attraction if you interviewed the women dressed in traditional garments and ask them to give us an insight to their purpose what's their goals
Sounds like you were at Hmong Doof Doof party Todd LOL
G'day mate, just thinking , how can you lose Big J , lol you can't , looks like a very colourful event happening , watch all the time Big J n C were excited to be going there when I spoke to them , hope all have a great trip , catchya ...
