VIENTIANE is AWESOME, Why Didn't I Come to LAOS Sooner? 🇱🇦 LAO TRAVEL 2024

Vientiane Laos is an underrated city with amazing Lao food. I had a great day exploring this capital city and learned so much about Lao history and eating delicious Lao food.
This video is our last day in the city because I arrived sick from the Philippines and stayed in but I loved it so much I know we'll be back. There's so much more to see and I can understand why many expats move to Vientiane. The quality of food is high and prices were shockingly low.

    The Larb that you ate looks delicious. Larb is a traditional dish of the ethnic Lao people in Laos and the Northeastern region of Thailand (Isan). It is a national dish of Laos. Thank you for showing. Hope you continue to have a safe and great time in Laos.

    So apparently when the French came they decided instead of it being called Lao they’d throw an S on it. And while in English we know it as Vientiane locals actually pronounce it Vieng Chan. Unfortunately the clip I had explaining this was corrupted so I had to leave it out.

    I didn't know either. I thought Lao was the ethnicity. But the Vientiane thing doesn't surprise me, because most SE Asian names sound NOTHING like what they're spelled, like Nguyen and Khmer. But everytime I hear "Laos", I think of that scene from "King of the Hill"😂 "I'm Laotian." "The ocean? What ocean?" "So are you, CHINESE or JAPANESE?"😂

    You know when you ask around about what to do in Laos everyone says Vientiane is boring. But I think it depends on what you like to do. We don't need a lot of attractions, we're happy to walk around, sit in cafes and visit markets. So we appreciate things like no honking and friendly locals, even if they don't speak our language. I really enjoyed our time and would definitely go back.

    I am surprised there isn’t more talk about it as an expat spot as the quality of living vs price is really great. But as you know many expats look for places with a lot of English and it’s not here. But we had no issues with Google translate once I realized I had to ask first if I should translate to Vietnamese or Lao.

    Thanks for the sharing Alan. South East Asia is diverse and yet there are similarities in our we live our lives, in a constantly hot and humid environment. Such as the use of chilli and spices to induce perspiration and to cool the body, use of quick personal transportation motorbikes because the roads are not yet ready for fuel-guzzlers...

    Not using the river is definitely a miss because people love sitting along it. It’s why I thought there must be something with the soil because there aren’t even little local spots that serve drinks or snacks which is a huge miss.

    Nice video and glad you like this beautiful and still very authentic country. Laab is in fact the national dish from Laos, best served with "khao niaow" (sticky rice), like almost every food in Laos. Many dishes nowadays, which are wrongly named thai or isaan dishes are originally from Laos. The northeast of thailand (isaan) used to be part of the lan xang kingdom. That's why isaan thai people speak lao language and eat a lot of lao food. But the thai government had a strict "thaification" policy to remove anything lao related from thailand, so not many people know that. Also very similar cultures 🇱🇦🤝🇹🇭 As a western foreigner, I love to live in Laos. Welcome to this amazing country :)

There you can hike through villages and lots of ethnical groups live there (hmong, kmhu, katu, akha, etc). Dont forget to also visit the beautiful south and central laos. Stop savannakhet for a night or two (beautiful old french colonial town on the mekong). Then keep going to pakse and visit the amazing bolaven plateau with all its coffee farms and super nice waterfalls (tad fane, tad yuang, etc). Also thakek with all its lime stone formations and caves is stunning. The country has so much to offer

Perfect months for that will be september, october, november. Its end of raining season and everything is still green and beautiful, but less rain and good conditions. Late october - november the colors are changing to gold just before rice harvesting season.

    It is called "State Capitalism" (to be seen in China and in Vietnam). The term "Lao" is an adjective (Lao food, Lao people, Lao landscape, etc.), the country is Laos or "Satharanarat Paxathipatai Pasason Lao / Lao People's Democratic Republic" in short "SoPoPo Lao", you choose which one you like (in the Lao TV, radio and newspapers they must express the whole name, no exception). It's like English and England. The standalone word "Lao" means He/She.

    Hi sabaidee Ayngelina and Alan. Yall are one of the first to tour inside Patuxai (paultuuxai) monument, for while due to renovations. Monetary funds from the US was meant for helping build a modern airport, not China aid. Chinese has help a lot with building highways & the transportation rail train. The reason not a lot Laotian outside is because the very hot heat in afternoon, also they like to keep their skin safe from sunburn. In the evening when its much cooler temperatures, is when majority locals are outside. The early years, was the kingdom of Cambojea (Khmer empire) own majority southeast asia. Laos was known as LanXang the land of millions elephants. Alan is from Indonesia, also have a lot Chinese & Filipino & Arab culture there right? Sorry the pot was not use for cooking, its purpose is steaming water to cook sticky rice or other steam foods wrap in banana leafs (fish in banana leaf 🍃 also known as mok pah) a dessert sticky rice and banana is also share cooking style in steamer with bamboo basket.
