@@asiane .... sorry Todd, just like in Meung Feung, I rudely took over, and now your KZread page... lol. However, on the bright side you mate! not only show us our ol' countryside and surviving hmong families after the war.... your site reunite long lost family members such as this person. Remember I told you i had one older brother and sister? This person mentioned MayYing, which "IS" my sister.... Now, to respond to this follower of yours.... Yes Phauj Xis. it is me, little brother "Ber" aka Ray, aka TsavTsheej. Got your info now will reachout/keep in touch!

It brought tears to our eyes (good tears) to see those kids in a new school house, thanks to all who help build it. One day we will get to the school and make our contribution by providing our services as teachers and builders. All the best to you Todd and Clan. 🙏🙏 Be Well !

CiCi...WiWii... Long Live The #Simulation of Loas 🎉😊❤

Many many hmong Americans and hmong from around the world follow you Todd because your videos are some of the best regarding traveling in Laos. That is why we follow you also, keep it up Todd. Fan for life.

Wow Mr. Tsua has really done well with his school. Bless him. I do remember the first time you met him. The man really is dedicated to these children learning English. Thanks for the revisit. Good thing the shark cage has a bottom. Those river sharks are vicious. 🦈

Love the update with Mr. Chu and his school. Thank you for your generosity. You guys have changed many lives for the better.

It’s great that theses kids have a chance to learn English it will give them a excellent chance to get a good job later in life

Thanks Mik.. Love the new addition. Had no idea what we were missing! 💚

That was awesome Todd. Seeing so many children wanting to learn English. Giving up their free time to go to more school. Surprise visit from subscriber has to be great feeling. Neenee's right foot looks very sore. Would be better off with crutches then a walker. Glad little Mina didn't hurt herself jumping into that cage, she's a dancer. 😅😅😅.. thank Tony and Shelley for helping so many children. Stay safe and healthy Todd Neenee and little Mina sweetie.😊😊😊😊❤❤❤

THANK YOU Todd & NeeNee, for all that you do and have done for all the people there. You are much appreciated from those of us that are afar..... May God bless the both of you and your loved ones for always....

This takes me back to 2011 when I taught in China for the first time with children. Rays story was an amazing tale of freedom. What an amazing place to stay in paradise. Thank you for sharing this adventure, Todd!

Lovely location at Meung Feung. Would definitely book that 26,27 cabins sometime next year. Please let me know if can be done online 😊

I hope those cabins raise along with the river when it flood during raining season. Otherwise they lose lots of their investment budgets.

You guys are the epitome of an angel. Much love from an American that that was born in Laos 4 decades ago. Hope to visit you guys soon!

Great video Tod. Love how the school has turn out.

Great opportunity for those kids at that school. The river cabin area looks to be a great area for a relaxing weekend

Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏😇🌻

Great stuffed buddy cracking video update 🙏🏽🙏🏽

I love your hard work today.

Todd,thanks for the update. It is nice to see Tony and Shelly again. Thanks to each and everyone who contributed to the building of the school.

Todd, Neenee and Mina: This is probably your best video I think. Your family are so fortunate to be blessed by the Baci ceremony from this nice Hmong family. It seems like you are born to make friends. Being like the locals are the best and most respectful way to travel. Thumbs up to you. This is one of the reasons why your You Tube channel is very meaningful and interesting to watch.

Hey Todd , Great Video, how nice for Tony and Shelly to see the progress of the school . Have to have a night at the new cabins on the river, they do look good. later on in the year. Take care Nev

Very interesting video Todd. You're living a good life. Thanks for sharing this with us.

I'm impressed by what this Hmong gentleman is doing here. How could other people, especially Hmong Americans, help this school grow? I myself would also be interested in donating school materials and/or providing some financial support if there's a way to contact the owner. By the way, thank you for your support to this school

I don't know how the floating cabins survive during the heavy rain seasons in each year. This place must be a unique place for the retirement people who should take the couples or families for a long week vacation here.

There's a dam a few kms up upstream that regulates the flow. Even in the wet season it does rise much.

it's always recommended to have cast on however inconvenient it is.

I think I would have preferred it that the cabins be more primitive, which includes the sites, keeping it as natural as possible. It’s advancing too quick, modernized. Another great video. Love your guys contribution to the school!!!

nice videos

It would be great if there were only a few bungalows by the river. Unfortunately all these people, the noise and the music would keep me from staying here. Beautiful location!

There was only a few 2 years ago.. it was ideal! Nice and peaceful.. now it's more of a party area and definitely not a place if you're looking for peace and quiet. 😔

Let's go

You speak perfect English mate, with the lovely Aussie accent..👍

My wife broke her foot as well stepping down from a log on to a tree root that was sticking out of the ground with all her weight braking 4 bones, 3 metal plates and more than 12 screws holding them all together. It took a full year to recover, the pleated and screws will stay in she doesn’t want to go through another surgery to remove them.

"That's DECKS." Thanks for the clarification.

Howdy brother,,how fortune for you to meet Ray and Viv and to hear his amazing story! Very moving to listen to that. Nice to see the lovely Tony and Shelly. What superb people they are,,great examples in humanity! Dont think I'd care for the river cabins anymore. They went way overboard developing things. To busy and to much,,,like you said,,piss flowing into the river and I'll mention soap from the showers,,,just kinda gross because of being right in the swim zone. Mina found a new crazy woman to dance with😅. That girl ne er stops,,although she did look a bit more tired than usual this trip. Probably help her broken footed Mom has wore her out😂 Mr. Chua deserves every single thing he has received! What a kind hearted man. Wish I could go help teach for a couple weeks. ❤love you Mina! You guys take care,,hope Neenee heals quickly. Nice to see an appearance from Rado 👍Ttyl,,,Marlon

My thoughts exactly with the cabins mate. It's just a money grab now. Like, I don't blame the locals for cashing in, but it's not just the locals anymore. 😏 Take care champ

Nice upgrade to the cabins Todd and being next to the bar / shop does have it’s advantages when in a cast Glad the school is almost finished but Todd you’re from ozz u don’t speak thru your nose like a limey lol 😂

Was there at Muag Fueng on Valentine's... We were at the other white cabins.. They had toilets and shower in the rooms. But had a fun time there, would go back there again.
