- World's Most Dangerous Roads: Deadliest Journeys in Laos in 2013
Deadliest Roads - Congo: • Deadliest Roads | Cong...
Landlocked and shrouded in historical mystery, Laos is home to dozens of forgotten tribes who reside in its vast rolling mountains and impenetrable jungles. One of the last standing communist countries, we travel along the Ho Chi Minh trail that was used to transport weapons in the Vietnam War. The countryside is still littered with bombs dropped by the Americans and travelling requires vigilant drivers.
We adventure in trucks, on the back of elephants, by car engine-powered speedboat and often on foot. The stakes are high for these courageous drivers, and the pressure is on for a safe passage in ferocious conditions.

Laos 🇱🇦 Landlocked and shrouded in historical mystery, Laos is home to dozens of forgotten tribes who reside in its vast rolling mountains and impenetrable jungles. One of the last communist countries, we travel along the Ho Chi Minh trail - used to transport weapons during the Vietnam War. The countryside is still littered with bombs dropped by the Americans and traveling requires vigilant drivers.
We travel in trucks, on the back of elephants, by car, speedboat and on foot. The stakes are high for these courageous drivers, and the pressure is on for a safe passage in ferocious conditions.

I have the privilege of being your 1st comment
From 1964 to 1973, the U.S. dropped more than two million tons of ordnance on Laos during 580,000 bombing missions-equal to a planeload of bombs every 8 minutes, 24-hours a day, for 9 years - making Laos the most heavily bombed country per capita in history.
Who's the narrator please? Is it Tim Wright? I missed his voice in Myanmar. He always changes his voice and intonation when speaking as different people in the video. He doesn't waste words needlessly but give the viewer such a sense of calm, feeling like I'm right there, in the truck or what have you. All the staff need to be highly praised for their bravery and unique talent. I can't get enough of Deadliest Roads! What an eye opener. We are very spoiled and have gotten too soft. Watching from Switzerland 🇨🇭

@@importedriceco Where can I get this information?
I love how these documentaries branch out on covering more than just the dangerous roads, but still remain on topic. Well done as always
I absolutely love the narrator when he switches to translating the subjects' dialog and how he imitates their voices - I think it's hilarious and has to be one the biggest charms to these Dangerous Roads documentaries.
He sounds like he's reading a kids book. I love it as well.
The narrator,. translator and script writer are 3 different people needed, working together to create what the narrator reads. And I love him, the narrator, to pieces too. None of the names people have mentioned, pan out.
Damn I am a security guard in Los Angeles and sometimes I feel I have it bad and struggling. but when I see these documentaries it makes me appreciate my job and my life a bit more. We all go through tough times but we have to remember it can always be worst. someone out there is literally walking miles and miles to get to work or just to make some money for their family. We are blessed here in the states.
This mindset is why the United States infrastructure is crumbling, the government is crumbling, and society is crumbling. We're too complacent. We see awful third world countries and go "Boy we sure have it great!!" Instead of seeing how we can make our country even better.
Yeah, we have it good. But we've gotten too comfortable and it's not going to stay that way forever.
Your job is hard stop consoling yourself
Well said! People who don't appreciate what they have, will not appreciate what they get. They think the world is owed to them. Respect to you for appreciating your opportunity!
@@dave3464 Well said from you also!
The poorest of Americans live better than 99% of the world. It's easy to lose sight of that.
it breaks my heart watching this elephant stressed but also relieved at the love he has for his elephant
all domesticated animals played a purpose for the human race from Dogs to Elephants we domesticated these animals for a purpose and whether you think one not it's their nature to work for and with Humans.
These documentaries are so addictive in their own ways. I just love them.
The cultures of the people are well put.
No one talks about the cameramen in comments. Praise the cameraman!!!!
That’s what the camera man gets paid for
He is the real hero!
I praise the cameramen...and women (???)
Yes they are to true MVPs I would be so scared at some of the scenes they shoot 🤞😳
Yes, in all the videos in this series!
Deadliest road is one of the best articulated documentary 💯
As an American, we take so much for granted. I've been having my girls watch these episodes, to see just how much effort goes into getting the basics needed to survive. If not taught, they would believe that food just arrives in our pantry.
you forget to mention the 2 million bombs dropped there by your country ... SMH
@@Ghq__ It looks *you* "forgot" to look at Mitch's profile picture.........
He seemingly doesn't need to be reminded to what the U.S. one party state is capable of.
Anyway......France also bears responsibility about that murdering conflict , after leaving Uncle Sam to take over their bloody colonial history from Asia to Haïti .
@@Ghq__ As an American, I wholeheartedly disagree with our "foreign affairs" tactics. I believe we should stay far away from every other country on this planet, become self sufficient like we were prior to WW2 and let the rest of you destroy each other. The vast majority of us don't want to step foot on foreign soil for battle ever again! Unfortunately, we've let in far too many illegal immigrants completely unchecked and have created a society full of crybaby losers who don't want to work for a single penny! Among a dozen other factors, we're destroying ourselves from the inside out by letting the outside in.
@@Ghq__ sounds like ur implying he dropped them himself lmao stfu
@@Ghq__ based war crimes are based
I feel myself so blessed after looking into these documentaries
The life we complain about is the life they dream about☺️
In 2019 I solo traveled to Laos, purchased an ancient Honda SuperCub and put over 5k kms on that little bike traveling all around. What a lovely, beautiful place full of lovely, beautiful people. Never had a break down that left me stranded, barely had any accidents and almost got stabbed a few times….but didn’t! 5/5 would recommend!
Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪.
Thank you for the upload.
Keep them coming.👏👏
Thanks for stopping by and don’t worry - we’ll keep them coming!
@@FreeDocumentary have you won any awards? if not their's no justice in this world, the best Documentarys in the world.
Kudos to the teacher who sacrifices his time and family just to promote education at the remote village. He is so passionate to educate the children. God bless him.
Thanks FD for this another interesting piece of documentary about Laos.
Well done and take care, as your team is taking dangerous trip as well just to have this content available for us. With much love and respect from the Philippines :)
Or is he unwittingly playing his part in destroying another indigenous people? Either way it ended the film on a sad note for me.
Sounds more like the government forced him to do it so they could more easily kick out the poor natives. . . abrupt end
Whoever the narrator is for the Deadliest Roads series does an amazing job and his delivery is absolutely perfect. Thanks for providing these top quality documentaries. Have a wonderful week.
He reads from a script. 🙄
@@ryancourts2726 Yep, I’m sure you’re right about the show being scripted. It’s his talent and inflections that bring the script to life, imo.
The narrator is great! It's slightly puzzling that he's English but prices everything in Euros rather than pounds sterling though. I guess that's for the export market.
@@Londonfogey Thats a good point and your guess is probably right.
It's Adrian Dynbar
Sunday evenings just got better! Love from SL 🇱🇰 🌳❤️😍🐘
Thank you for stopping by to let us know. Excellent 😀
I love how the narrator does the talk over for the people as well, especially the way he expresses there tone and emotions.
Cheers
I prefer the subtitled episodes, though these are still just as addictive 😂
@@davel9514
Ha' yeh true! I guess the narrator can sound anyway you like in your own head 🤪
The elephant understanding the voice of guy it's wonderful! really.
But guy doesn’t understand the pain of the poor elephant 🐘 sad reality
@@ਸੁੱਖ-ਗ7ਨ You don't understand the guys need of money for food.
If you are hungry, you would do the exact same.
@@ਸੁੱਖ-ਗ7ਨ cry
Feeling very bad for elephant 😔
What a beautiful way to end off my Sunday 🙏🏾
Ending my Sunday here in Sweden too and I really enjoy this channel and specially episodes like this about hard working people in pore countries they seems to be more happy anyway!!
Absolutely
Better than a kick in the shin or a poke in the eye
@fint jora you have no idea.. Poor doesn't always mean unhappy. Even the richest in your country can be the most depressed and full of discontent.. If money means happiness then why are there famous, rich and powerful people committing suicide then?
When you feel sadness about life you can watch this video and you will happily that’s you still lucky ..
Absolutely!
old episode but its deadliest roads so l'm still gonna watch.
i knew I wasn’t the only one who realized this was a old episode 😂
@@abdoulayekoundoul7450 been watching them for a long time.
Oldie but goldie
Poor elephants. Heatbreaking to see what these beautiful creatures go through.
Was looking for one comment like this, it’s understandable they need to provide for their families but there is other option instead of using those majestic creatures!!
Those people are super friendly but I couldn’t help myself feeling sorry watching those beautiful elephants being used like that!
i press 20 seconds forward every time...i can see he is not happy...
It is sad
@@NataGeo83 like what other options years ago humans have been using elephants as transportation
@@NataGeo83 so dumb
I am feeling extremely sorry for the poor elephant 🐘
poor camboo. beautiful creature.
Exactly i just wrote on this.. IT WOULD BE AGAINST THE LAW HERE..WHY ANY DIFFERENCE THERE ?????
atleast the man said he love his elephant😂
@@baguiobestmmafighters2001 Yeah sure, the elephant does the heavy lifting. If you did all that work for him, he would love you too.
Oh stfuuuu
I respect the narrator. He is so articulate and explains with dedication
Damn, that old soviet truck looks like it's out of a Mad Max movie!
I visited Laos 🇱🇦 15 years ago, we must travel via North Thailand 🇹🇭 and cross friendship bridge. Nice country to visit.
Laos has changed a lot. There a many new modern developments. They just got a new railway from Luang Prabang to Vientiane. It was big news in the last few weeks. You need to visit Laos soon.
How amazing is the bond between man and elephant ! Its like a huge dog , so beautiful how it works so hard with its human companions and is treated with care and fed by its owner !
Its nice to be able to sit in my home and travel the world. Thank you.
Isn’t it though?
Always admire this voice 😘Great videos always..... Representing Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
Thank you!
When are you coming to Ghana?🇬🇭
Waiting for every sunday ❤️❤️ love from sri lanka 🇱🇰
Watching all your videos, Thanks for making these types of documentries. It's very helpful in this pandemic season.
I drove from London to Africa in my 1995 Mitsubishi Delica. I am driving around and filming the journey in 360 VR, overlanding Africa 👌🏿👊🏿👍🏿
Cooool! Hey and continued safe journeys! Keep check back with us so we know how you doing
@@FreeDocumentary I will, have a look at my channel 👌🏿👊🏿👍🏿
@@TemdriWorld Man, how do you store that much footage?
@@philnightjar1971 via GoPro cloud
How can you drive from London to Africa?
1st❤️😍😍 im early hehehe
Watching from the Philippines❤️
@@aswinmode Suits you well
Watching from Switzerland. Deadliest Roads is a whole new level of "Highway Thru Hell"!!
Should get an award. That's an incredible documentary....
Welcome to Laos. This is just a small part of it. Laos is even more beautiful than this short video described. More positive!
Hello, I'm EU citizen and I want to get a Laos visa but the e-visa site don't work since 2~3 years. Do you have an idea how can I get a visa?
Laos is now opening its borders to all countries, starting from 9 May, 2022. You can apply visa online now. Or you can contact Lao embassy or consulate nearby.
I'm 52 now but in highschool I had a guy friend named Dao Nuvongza who escaped Laos (pronounced "louse") as a child. Best human being in highschool I ever knew
I am now 41. But in my early 20s I worked with many Lao people in a factory. Very good people. I sure do miss them.
Actually the S is silent..................... so it's Lao
@@rider660r I appreciate that, but that's not how he pronounced it.
@@kingdomrunt It doesn't matter,that's how it is pronounced....the S is silent.
It's hard to see the elephant suffer like this. I feel pity for the poor mammoth, beautiful creature that humanity has been abusing for centuries. 🤧
Many of you keep praising those people for no reason really. You all keep forgetting those are very primitive people with its primitive cultures.
We in the west would not allow to treat animals like that, yes we did in the past but our culture and our ethics have evolved and we now recognize it is wrong.
I like those documentaries but I cringe every time I see this kind of savage behavior and its people.
@@Iron_Byte Savage? What did you see that was so awful?
maybe you should volunteer to go haul logs for those people so they can let their elephant rest
oh wait, literally the only way to remove the logs without MASSIVE deforestation is with elephants.... hmm...
Do you feel sorry for police dogs or animals that help the disabled too?
The narrator on these documentaries really makes it. Dude you're awesome
I'm addicted to the soothing voice of the narrator🇵🇭🙏
The husband driver speak 90%-95% Thai language and his wife and some of the people of the village. Thanks for this DOC.
Thank you so much for uploading please continue uploading roads documentaries like these. You got a new SUBSCRIBER
love these documentary's always high quality.
Aren't these old videos?! I have seen DR Laos before i think?!
yes they are old vids but i guess the commentary is changed so it is uploaded
Search " hot roads" there are a cuple of small channels that have posted new documentaries that are not old repost
@@mannyfuentes217 thanks
Free documentary basicaly only reuploading. I dont even remember when they uploaded something new.... And they probably have nothing new to upload anyway
The elephant 🐘 made me smile 😊.
16:42 I want to see more of that little baby playing with the ducklings. That is adorable. 😆😅😇
I've missed this kind of voice of narrator😊
The intro to these videos is absolutely epic. I love it so much
One of my favourite countries in the world with the friendliest people.
Watching all these documentaries, I'm amazed by their building and maintenance abilities on any mechanical vehicles!!!
The elephant is the unsung hero of this story
Im addicted to FD from deadliest roads to mystery places in nature too..i love it keep it up FD.truly good documentaries here in ph.
There’s plenty more coming and you can check out all so far releases under the PLAYLIST TAB OR THE VIDEOS TAB. Thanks so much for being a loyal follower. Greatly appreciated.
These documentaries keep me grounded. I watch to learn about different cultures and daily life around the world. Makes me feel more connected and appreciative for what I have and learn watching these.❤️
To skip all the ads on all videos ask you need to do is skip to the end of the video and restart it and it will take all the ads away, just letting you know because these channels have many ads so just trying to save you some time
I hope they love and treat those elephants well. I can see how we Americans and Europeans may see this as a hard life but when your whole life revolves around having food and love of a close family there really isn't anything else we really need. I'm jealous to be honest
I understand you perfectly
Shut up
How beautifully you have documented. Lovely work! ❤️💯
My Saturday and Sunday evenings always get better with Free documentary. I do invite friends and we watch together. I’m watching from Ghana 🇬🇭 west Africa
Wow, keep them coming , very resourcefull
Don’t worry - we will and thank you for stopping by to let us know! Much appreciated 😀
What magnificent creatures, poor things.
The teacher is my hero. I pray that these pupils be the big hope of their country.
amazing.wonder how your team manages to get such thrilling episodes every time in tough terrains.special mention to the camera crew is must for their excellent job in the challenging conditions.kudos Free Documentary.
I just am so sorry for the elephant... I hope they make it rest 💔😢
I love animals. They work so hard to help people. I hope they let the elephant rest and give it some food. Laos is a very poor country. So elephants help out with the labor.
Absolutely. I love these doco's, but the animal suffering in some of them breaks my heart.
Oh well
Shut up! First world people with technology will never understand that
Great job on the documentary. You guys do such a good story thank you. Stay safe.
That Drop-tank canoe was badass, now I want one!
honestly these Doco. series have become the highlight of my Sundays
These docos are the best ones I've seen in a long damn time
Much love from New York City
The elephant is such an amazing animal, can’t imagine this life they lead
Shut up! First world people with technology will never understand that
"During the war the U.S. dropped two hundred million tons of bombs over Laos". Considering only 7 million tons were dropped in the entire Indo-China theater you might want to revise that number....drastically.
Free Documentary...this channel is very interesting and educational....❤️❤️🇱🇰🇱🇰..from sri lanka..
Glad the elephant stopped to eat. What a beauty.
Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪
Love this channel I always watch new video about deadliest roads. More power and God bless us.
I love watching these because I get to see how other people make a living on the road
They sure as hell don't do it because 'a good option', but to just live the next day.
Free Documentary, ♡ from sri lanka 🇱🇰
Hi back from all of us at FD 😀
I love watching free documentary. I'm out of work today and you made my day at least productive by watching :)
The elephant is so amazing! He snapped that branch in half with its Trunk lol! And was able to move that really heavy piece of wood. Extremely intelligent and tough!
The inhabitants of Chakhampa village reminded me of my ancestors hundred years ago.
I love these documentaries, but they end so abruptly.
You can never get tired of learning
Cool documentary!! But poor elephant
The narrator and he’s camera man is doing a hell of a job on these vlogs ..thanks
Elephants are awesome! Such intelligent creatures.
I'm addicted to this channel ❤❤❤
Thank u free documentary 🙏🙏🙏🙏
❤️❤️ From India
Thank you right back 🙏
I'm from South Africa; I've been a fan of this channel ever since 2020 due to lockdown.
Thank you so much. Lives with the Akha for one week. Had a great gospel and a great Thanksgiving.
44:52 - That scenery reminds me of El Yunque, Puerto Rico 💛🌄
I am deeply addicted to watching these documentaries. They changed how I view the outside world. However, I want to emphasise that the bombs dropped by the American airforce in Laos were 3m tons instead of 200m tons mentioned in the documentary.
Watching from Uganda 🇺🇬 I lIke this channel 🙏🙏♥️
Best Doc 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
This is the real life snow runner equivalent! We need to get the snow runner devs to make a Laos map!
I can see a potential here, frame addon minefield detector and mine disposal tractor. Also lots of war relics, bomb artifact transpo where you would explode if not careful would be nice
THANK YOU FOR CLEARING UN-EXPLOADED MUNITIONS.. FOR THE PEOPLES & THANK YOU FOR SHARING
Feel sorry for poor elephant 😢
Shut up! First world people with technology will never understand it
Many thanks Free Documentary...great work thru you able to appreciate how good easy our life is compared to theirs.
90% of comments on every free documentary vid: "thank you for the documentary", "narrators voice", "no one talks about the cameramen" HAHA
What kind of truck puts the gear shifter in the back seat? LOL
Humans can't treat each other right so just imagine how we treat animals.
love the docs but might i ask why you guys re upload old content?
Thank you
Finally a new one ❤️❤️❤️
reupload.. years old.. -)
