Hi Todd That machine is for taking car and truck tires of their rims, The drill press is a knock off of a Bridgeport milling machine made in the US. most likely from the ex army base workshop.

Great video, great editing...great day! I did an mountain bike ride with some Lao friends at Phou Khao Khouay back in 2005 or so. Brutal and beautiful. Loved your transition of the Lao song carrying over and taking us out under the sunset. Brings back wonderful memories and maybe a couple of tears. The sublime beauty of the moment. Khop Chai Deu...

Hi Todd,,loved hearing a different version of Layla! One of 3 hit songs written about the late Patty Boyd Harrison Clapton. Something,,,Layla and Wonderful Tonight. She musta been special. What I'm wonder,, is there 516 beautiful women in the area. From the few you showed,,I'd bet yes. 2 of my 3 coworkers caught covid,,between the 2 of them they passed it on to 12 or 14,,including 6 that had been vaccinated. Several in hospital on ventilators. I wasn't around either one in the last 2 weeks,,so I think we are safe for now. Looked like a great day,,the picnic,,that shop,,the food looked superb, and the women lol take care of yourselves,,Ttyl,,,Marlon

That looked like quite a day topped off to perfection with the picnic. All good stuff for sure......nice one. 👍👍😊😊

I’m from Sydney and that paved road looked better than some of ours. Car sick in Laos brings back memories. We drive from Luang Prabang to Vientiane and my wife became very car sick. We then started looking to buy sour Nandi as she felt it would be the only thing to make her feel better. It didn’t. It just just changed the colour of her output haha Those guys you were eating with seemed like a really nice group of genuine people :-) “Black chickens”… the “ woke “ will get you, they are now to be called “ chickens of colour “ haha You can’t go wrong with Pad Gra Pao ( but where was your fried egg, Todd?)

Hi Todd Thanks again for the tour. Although I have been in Lao a long time I am to lazy to go anywhere, especially with the Covid lockdown issues. Typical Lao picnic lots a chicken and beer. Quick correction on the price of electricity in Laos compared to Cambodia an Thailand. Lao price is around 7c a KW where as Thailand is 11c and Cambodia is 15c.

Sealed road but not very wide. Not seeing speed limit signs. lol Go as fast as your heart can take, maybe. Great editing of this one. Nice way to slide the two together. Funny how some people will just stare at you and then there are these blokes (?) who just invite you over for chicken and beer.

Magnificent video work!!! First thought? The entrance scene. In the boat. Reminded me of my trip down the MaeKong, from Hoi Xsi? to Luang Prabang. We'd stopped off to get some fuel. And a bad smell had come. The lao man sitting next to me, brushed the smell off with the comment. "A headless body, floating down the river. Probably a drug runner." I thought? "Hum...that'll teach ya to mind your manners around here.. ." Second thought? 22 minutes into the video? You asked your wife a question. And she just kept on talking to someone else, like you weren't there!!! I rolled over laughing!!! Is that a lao custom!!! My wife does it too. But then? I remember my mom doing it to my dad!!!! Love it!!! Women!!

Hi Todd, thank you so much for posting all these wonderful videos. I had just recently discovered your channel. I’m fascinated with all the places you’ve gone to visit. I’m planning on going there in April of 2022 if some of the restrictions are relaxed in terms of Covid. Your house is not far from my hometown. If I mention the name of the village I grew up on, I’m certain you’d know exactly where it’s at. I was born and raised there up until I was 15. Went back few times. Last time I was there was in 2011. It’s been a while and so many things have changed. I hardly recognized. One thing for sure I’ll come visit NeeNee and your restaurant. Again, thank you and continue living a blessed life.

My village is “ Ban Don deng” it’s very close to Ban nong ta neua and Ban nong ta tai. Since I’ve discovered yours and NeeNee’s channel, I have been watching them videos one after another trying to get some ideas of what to do and where to go when the time comes. I’m also been thinking about coming back home and settle down somewhere in Laos. I need to get hold of your mate Charle I think is his name? The fellow that you sat down and had conversation with. I did the same thing that you and NeeNee did last time I went back home. I went from VTE all the way north and all the way to champasak. I need to go and do that zip line like you did. I most definitely will seek you out when I’m there. Take care and thanks for sharing.

There's actually 2 mountains there... didn't know that. The close one is Phu Pha Dang, pronounce "Poo Pa Dung" and the one in the back is Phu Khao Khouay, pronounced "Poo Cow Kwai" which means Buffalo horn mountain. None of that I knew, you can thank Neenee 😁👍

Looks like you can travel freely in laos...how can you do that

"Put Guh Pao" is stir fried chicken or pork or beef with basil to give it good flavor, it's put on top of white rice and they put a fried egg on top, you can get it with chicken or pork, usually. It is Thai too. Gra-pao is Thai basil. "put" just means stir fry.
