LAOS-CHINA High-Speed Train to VIENTIANE 🇱🇦

After a lovely start to our trip in Laos, exploring the city of Luang Prabang, seeing the gorgeous waterfalls and eating delicious local Lao foods - it’s time to head to the capital. We are so excited to be doing this trip on the brand-new Lao-China high-speed railway.
This train actually goes all the way from China, with future plans potentially even involving stations in Singapore. Today, we are simply taking it from Luang Prabang to Vientiane, the capital of Laos. With ticket sales being a bit more confusing than we are used to for this train, and only Chinese or Lao nationals being able to purchase the tickets, we were just happy to get our hands on some! The trip was gorgeous and SO much faster than the other option… taking a 10-hour bus!

    If you ever come to China, the train stations are massive. They are similar to airports tbh.. Also, this train just looks like a normal train in China not the bullet ones.Bullet trains in China go as fast as 200-350 km/h (120-220 mph). The seats with this one are quite basic too but atleast this train cuts down journey time for all people.. thumbs up for the convenience.!

So in the future get on that train in BKK and drive al the way in Laos and ending up in China 💪 Thanks for sharing you experience on this train with us, will want yo use it in the future for sure 😊 And as always Adriana and Dylan, C Ya in the next one, cheers 🙌🍻🍹

But once you got your accommodation. It looks very nice. And it’s a plus that the mini bar is stocked up with lots of goodies. Very nice video. And also I love the puka shell necklace that you’re wearing lately. Because it looks nice and thin not like the larger puka shells. Where did you get that? I’m hoping to order one like that if I can.

    @@applebee3735 Oh mate.. do you really think the money made off a fully ticketed train will pay off the debt? Let's talk reality - the majority of the money earned goes straight to the operational expenditure of the infrastructure of the train (i.e., simply, maintenance, upgrades and administration costs). What little they may have (if any) after will only contribute a small amount to to the bill they'll be getting to service the debt. Then combine the debt with the interest on top, it becomes exceedingly hard for the Lao government to service. Since the Lao government went into the agreement with China - the benefactor of the debt - at an almost 50/50 equity to debt split, a split way to low on the equity side to manage relative to the Lao governments intake - they fall into a 'debt-trap' with China. That, unfortunately, means a political trap by the Chinese government to hold influence and power on poorer SEA countries through debt (hence the defensive reply in Mandarin when I raised the issue of debt). If the Laos government contest anything China does - China pushes for the money back putting a strain on the Lao government, if Laos agrees to Chinas needs and wants - China takes a 'softer' approach on the repayments. For what it's worth, the Group of 7 nations are raising their own funds to combat these practices to fund nations like Laos so they are still able to develop infrastructure but with more realistic budgets and repayments. If you are indeed Laotian, I am in no way attacking the progress of your country. I'm just making you aware of the agreement that's been made and the political impact it has on your country on the world stage. Laos should be free to decide it's own decisions; not forced into following China due to debt.
