I Can't Believe I Didn't Come To Laos Sooner! | Kuang Si Falls, Mekong River + Pak Ou Cave
This little country in South East Asia DOES NOT get enough recognition for how much it has to offer! Laos is filled with beautiful historic cities and so many natural wonders. Join me and my Dad as we do a day trip from Luang Prabang to some of the surrounding attractions like Kuang Si Falls, Pak Ou Cave and a Whiskey Village, all while cruising down the extensive Mekong River that winds through 6 countries in Asia. Let me know in the comments if you have been to Laos and what your favorite experiences were! xx

I just want to say that Laos 🇱🇦 is extremely underrated and overlooked.I watched this short documentary of Laos on KZread and it was about these Chinese teenagers that live in Laos they designed the train cars and help design the overall structure of the stations of the train line that runs from Laos to 🇨🇳 China and yep that is how I found out about Laos 🇱🇦 😅.
Thank you for sharing this story…I’m Lao American 🇺🇸.. I have not been there since 2013…I enjoying the video..again thank you 🙏
Lao is such a underrated country in Southeast Asia. We have been. Luang Prabang is the soul of the country. So much to see and do. Alina, you hit all the right notes for the short period of time you were there. Nice Video. 😁😁 Alina, Hope you are feeling better. Have a Happy and Healthy New Year 2024 !🍸🍸 Harriet, Jim and Yuki Richmond, Va.

True, we've just visited the water falls (Tad Sae and Kuang Si) and the peaceful town itself last month. Nice drone's views. Some infrastructures need improvement to really attract more domestic and foreign visitors. It's truly nature's paradise for everyone. Thanks for sharing with useful and enthusiastics descriptions.
Another delightful video! Laos is our favorite of SE Asia! We've been a number of times, but not for several years. We are going back in January! Can't wait! Looking forward to more videos from you. So well done! We love Vientiane and the 4000 Islands. Hope you will spend time in both! Happy New Year!

That’s wonderful! We did go to Vientiane and wanted to see the thousand island but I unfortunately got sick again so wasn’t able to film a video from there.
Laos I have heard is very beautiful. If I visited Laos, it would be more than just for the beauty. I have been reading a lot about the history of Laos and I am interested in all these Laotian political figures - Prince Souphanouvong, Kaysone Phoumvihane, Prince Phetsarath, Prince Souvanna Phouma. My favourite Laotian was General Phoumi Nosavan.
Welcome to Lao Alina, great to see utuber introduced my country to go around the world

In the next few years, I'm going to buy a house in Laos near the mountains or overlooking the river. The cost of living in the USA is too much for me. I plan to retire in 2042.

Kuang Si Falls look like an other worldly landscape. How did Peter Jackson and the WETA Workshop miss this? The possibility for movie making here needs someone to tell a story. New Zealand has its share of them but Laos holds its own surprises! 😊

Hello Gordon :) it's really nice to see you travelling with your dad. Enjoy Laos and stay safe ❤️
It looks incredible! Thanks for sharing, Alina 😊
Thank you for showing Laos. It's an eye opener. To me, Laos seems to offer Southeast asian country but more peaceful, not too many tourists, not too many crowd. The waterfall looks good. I can definitely enjoy sightseeing there. Interesting!

Beautiful textiles. Magnificent cliffs and riverscapes. Spectacular waterfalls - drone shots are stunning. Huge old trees - maybe a fig next to Gordon. Certainly is a very impressive looking country - love to visit - thanks for showcasing what is on offer.
Wow. Amazing tour and great video shooting Alina. I like too much last minutes and drone recording. You have impressive waterfalls in southern Laos, near Pakse.
Great country and amazing video Alina, thanks for sharing it with us.

Hi Alina, I have been to Laos, Vientiane and Luang Prabang. Stunning impression from the Quang Xi falls🥹 I had a picnic for lunch right at the main waterfalls. It was stunning! Best regards, Ralf

Love Luang Prabang. Been there 2 times, first with the husband and second time with the whole family. Never gets tired, in Luang Prabang time just stood still, no rush and relax. Planned on going back this May, can’t wait.
Amazing Fairy Tale Falls - wow. Best of the New Year to you and Gord.
Beautiful video Alina 🧡thank you x
Beautiful country of Laos. I was in Laos from late 2018 (before Covid) until 2020 -during and after Covid 19 pandemic.
Welcome to Laos, I would recommend you to visit my hometown, Bokeo, by slow boat. You gonna enjoy the views of the Mekong river.
Beautiful waterfalls and nature. Thank you for introducing the video. I want to go on a trip.😊

Warmly welcome to visit Laos…Mainly Luang Prabang. It is my hometown. Thank you very much for your great video shot.!
i got a bunch of that whiskey home to canada , had such an amazing boat ride with a sunset on way back from caves. i love loas so much and like omg the fooood.
So beautiful natural country in the world, thanks for a nice clipt.
A very great one, Alina!❤
Hey, it's nice that your dad us chaperoneing you. I hope you both enjoyed your trip
I was in LP and Vientiane last year. I agree that it is a fabulous place to visit. In addition to everything you said, I like the laid back lifestyle and light traffic for the most part. No particular worries about scamming or touts. I was a bit surprised by how much English is spoken at least in visitor-related services. It is also quite affordable for those with USD or similar currencies, though I understand the inflation for locals has been bad, for which I am sorry.

Very true. I was also surprised about the traffic, nothing as crazy as Vietnam lol.
Great drone footage of the waterfalls. It sure adds to the beauty and quality of the video. Instead of showing my family my pictures of Luang Prabang I’ll just show them your videos. Great job as always.

Hi Alina. It's a very good video. The river tour is awesome. This waterfall is amazing and beautiful. This is the second most beautiful waterfall after Plitvice lakes in Croatia europe.
Thank you and thank you so much for doing an awesome video to show my home country. I'm making notes to visit where you are at. LOL. I had to watch at time stamp 4:01 again at your dad's reaction when he had that drink. hahahaha, can't wait to see your lived stream, hope to see how they celebrate New Years to come. If you are still there.

Fantastic nature and scenery. Have I ever been to Loas; no. I have only been to Canada ( Niagara Falls) , on a 3 day cruise to the Bahamas, and have traveled throughout the USA. ( mostly central USA) Too busy working to travel much beyond that.
Thanks for visited Laos, hope you enjoy
Amazing falls!!
Very nice ❤ Thank you for sharing
Wow that's amazing ❤❤❤
The water fall is amazing, there is a similar water fall in my hometown, but it is a little bit smaller.
Nice videos, keep up the good work. Hopefully I will go to Vientiane in the beginning of next year, most likely it will end up with some days in Luang Prabang and visit the parents of my good friend...
