Any idea what that upright wood corkscrew device is used for? Was thinking maybe a sugarcane juice extractor, but doesn’t really appear convenient to collect the juice. A bit if work in making it.... Thanks for sharing another great video❣️👍🏻

It's absolutely a sugarcane juicer. In the North of Laos the Tai Lue still use this kind of instrument today but their juicers have 2-3 times bigger shafts. In the past they used water buffalos to propel but today small tractors. The buffalos/tractors have only to walk/run around in circle and what you have to do is just putting the sugarcanes between the rotating cogs. I assure you that it is very convenient.

Beautiful wedding. Beautiful couple. Congrats!

Beautiful ceremony and video.....Thanks.....

Thank you so much for showing Tera Phu Tai resort. I saw so many familiar faces of family and friends. The groom is good guy, humble, and his knowledge of Phu Tai fabric is second to none in the world.

He is a nice guy and a good friend of Neenee. He dressed me in traditional Phu Tai clothing for our wedding 💚

Awesome video thanks for sharing. 😎👍♥️

The women are very beautiful 🇺🇸

It gets to you watching these ceremonies - the class and cultural heritage shines through real bright doesnt it. How my Mrs changed when she put on the traditional dress gave me a right throat lump - she never looked go good AND proud of her heritage. Great vid reminding me of a good few years ago.

wow, that procession! The instruments and the guy calling out were fantastic. I'd love to know more about those wind instruments. Nene and all the ladies looked stunning.

LOVELY.. Hi good evening watching from England...interesting Different lifestyle.. Thank you for sharing this video.. Love Sally and Paul 🦋🌹🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

that sort of local wisdom form... village house, cloths, dance and music for ceremony, always look unique to see. greeting from Indonesia.

So wedding super cool and unique loved it. Never planned on getting married however after watching this maybe get married to Lao woman in Lao :)

Reminds me of my Thai wedding, my wife to be getting up at about 4am to get her hair done up, then the first stage of the wedding in the family home with nine thai monk's, then the family part of the wedding, then the evening reception, and wedding party,and not getting to bed until about 2am, a very long wedding.

A beautiful wedding , so colorful simply stunning. To be a part of it. How cool is that. 😎😎 How long was the wedding? Great video Todd. Jim and Harriet. Richmond Va.

Laos we have many ethnic groups and many activities from the northern to the southern.

Hi Todd. I have lived with my lovely Thai wife, Nonglak, In Kutchum, Thailand, for 7 years. Fabulous life to see out my old age. We are about 80kms west of Mukdahan in Isaan country. We both watch your great videos and my wife is still surprised she can understand the Lao language. I have tried to explain but you understand. When Covid finishes we will visit Lao and your restaurant. I will let you know when so we can meet. But not until the end of this year, I think. Keep up the great videos...we enjoy them as it is so similar to travelling around Isaan. Happy days.

Hi Todd,,interesting ceremony! Kind of a long process. Thos buildings were very interesting. I love looking at cultural,,,tradish tools,,like those wooden pounding tools. The old jeep thing was amazing. I was thinking,,some may have been licensed by willys,,to be built by Mahindra in India but only after 47 . Ford built almost half the jeeps during WWII,,so that little place in the middle of nowhere had some interesting automotive history sitting there Ford GPW was what they were called and the GPWs built by Ford and Bantom and Willys are where the jeep nickname came from. GPW/Jeep. That just the bare basics. I'm sure you can pull up interesting stories. It never ceases to amaze me,,the thing you run across in Lao. Thanks Todd . I hope the after affects of covid are fading fast brother,,,I'll Ttyl,,,Marlon

Those are American military jeeps and the fourth one from the right is M151.

18:37 looks like a CJ-5 Willys Jeep or Korean War Willys M38A1. The curved bonnet Jeeps are later models from the 1950s onward. M38A1s were also used extensively during the Vietnam War. Thank you Wikipedia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Willys_M38A1

Slightly different to a Lao Loum wedding, where the groom's family 'bribes' the bride's family with money and gifts to allow the groom entry into the bride's family's house.

they were American Jeeps made mate, they made in the fifty era

What does the tiny string being tied around the wrist represent?

what advice did u give the couple when u attached the "buddha string ? 🙂 thats the custom in Thailand to give the couple some advice for a happy marriage and i assume it's the same in Laos

I was waiting to see if you got out of dancing by being the guy filming and also if they started breaking out the shots of lao lao, cognac, etc. Typical Lao parties start much later than expected and last late into the night! (At least here in the US)

I want the one in the blue shirt at 16:45
