I think you should wait until you're 67 years old. Laos is 45 years behind its neighbors in terms of development. Medical care is not world class like in the USA, Japan, or Thailand. Most of the roads outside Vientiane are primitive. Outside the capital, you will be driving on dirt roads not paved roads.
This season, dry season is my favourite. Love cooking outside in the cooler temps. I've been here 20 years now ..........can't wait to retire one day 😆
I like the cool dry winter in northern Laos. It's not too cold. It's not too hot. It's perfect. But Laos is 45 years behind its neighbors. Most of the roads outside Vientiane are primitive. Outside the capital, you have dirt roads. Dirt roads are for horses and elephants. You need concrete roads. Concrete roads are for automobiles. If you have a fire emergency or medical emergency, nobody is coming to save you. The ambulance and fire trucks are only available in Vientiane. The high speed internet is faster in the capital. But outside the capital, it's slow.

Nice video Javier! I agree that Laos is a hidden Gem! You forgot to mention they have coffee that rivals Kona coffee! ☕😊
Don’t know how I forgot the coffee. It’s my favorite!
Great info! 👍
🙏
I really enjoy your channel with such accurate and unbiased perspectives about Laos. Thank you!
Glad you enjoy it!
Couldn't wait but only two years and half to go for retirement at 55
It will come before you know it!

The cool, crisp mornings are amazing.
Wow - 20 years is a long time…you’ve seen it all, I’m sure! 🙏

Good points. Healthcare response is an item to be mindful of.
Laos is small population and is not crowded! Retirement in Laos 🇱🇦 is for me ! 👍
You’re right about the crowds…compared to surrounding countries it’s still relatively less congested.
