The train looks modern, as do the stations. Love the spaghetti western backing music

Very picturesque, Ed. Looks like a really nice place.

Living your best life Eddie , showing us the way.

That spaghetti western soundtrack goes down really well with the surroundings

I always really enjoy the view out your window when traveling through SE Asian countryside. Thanks for that, and the more the better.

A beautiful country! I met a lady from Laos many years ago…great memories!

Nice video Eddie. Looks like a strategic Chinese investment in Laos. Nice location. Enjoy your stay. Regards.

good stuff eddie going places with gusto

That train station looked like a full on nightmare. Like an airport. Damn!

Great video Eddie. Love the spaghetti western type music. All the best

Hi Eddie thank you for lovely video

Good music again. A train journey is almost always closer to the ideal travel vibe, than plane or bus. Good choice.

the Chinese have pumped loads of cash into Laos and the railway is part of that investment- same in Thailand the new station in Bangkok is eeeeenooormous

Great stuff 👏 very enjoyable.

Great video as always Eddie love the train journey , keep up the journey travel safe, cheers mate.

Refreshing to see you travel by train for a change Ed. The civilised way to travel. Mind you, those huge railway stations look too clinical and regimented with all the queuing to enter and then to get on the platform. I'm pretty sure Chinese money played a big part in those stations. Trains look quite decent too. Prices in Pounds and Euros please Ed! Cheers!

Prob well aware Eddy but when I go to remote places I go into off-line maps in the google maps settings and download a map of the area.... Works when no internet...

Your new location looks beautiful Ed... I think the taxi drivers know who you are by now and trolling 🧌 you... let's give Ed a walk! 😂 cheers mate 🍻 and enjoy!

I like the way you capture the chaos that is Steady Eddie 😆

I resume my role as agony aunt. Traveling to Luang Prabang in March is simply begging for a lung transplant. For all you kids out there, do yourself a favor and wait until June. By then, the pyromaniac farmers will have had their day for another year and the sun will have started to peek through the haze.

Eddie trim that chest hair hanging out ur t shirt mate looks terrible. Thanks for video enjoying your random adventures. Off to Manila myself Wednesday morning from Glasgow. 3 weeks in Philippines buzzing 🐝

Chinese have been busy in Laos it would seem. Looks good though.

I like this TexWiller music 👍

Offloading google maps for specific areas is really a good advice!!!

I believe the red, white & blue speed train which does the journey between Vientiane & LP in 2 hours got so popular they had to add the green express train which does the same journey in 3 hours to meet demand.

I love the adventures and the updates Eddy, but can you please tell us some costs in British Pounds once in a while instead of US Dollars. I know the dollar is widely accepted there, but for those of us at home that doesn’t help us much. I have recommended your channel to just about every English man I know. I never see an American you tuber giving us an exchange to British Pounds, or any other currency for that matter! Also, I never met an American in the three weeks that I travelled I Travelled around Laos. Thank you and travel safe to Siem Reap.

Eddie..We are 3rd world in transportation here in the U.S. compared to many countries. Our air flights are almost intolerable. Check the travel vlogs and expats in China. Space age compared to us. Also, the new cities. I want to experience it. But the language could be a problem.. Although some of the vloggers get around ok. But maybe a tour would be a good idea.

Hello Ed, good video. Just a thought: you may want to include the name of the country in the title of each video. That way, people searching for info on Laos, for example, would be more easily directed to your video...and you could get more views. Truthfully I had not heard of Vang Vieng or Luang Prabang before and would not have searched for those cities if I were interested in learning more about Laos.

Eddie, it would be good when you do your travel videos to maybe at the end or at some point explain the mechanics of how you got the ticket or got on the taxi how you figured that out that would be useful for us non-travelers )

Was it high speed rail? I know there’s a high speed line being extended connecting Kunming (China) to Singapore. It will go through Laos and Thailand.

You have left a country that is not run by any white Brits at the top of politics anymore. Controversial topic but it seems like the only country on earth that has this situation in place for good or for bad. Just seems odd eh????
