- Today we are traveling up the Nam Ou River from Nong Khiaw to Muang Ngoy, Laos.
Local Guide Contact number via WhatsApp +85602092558881 - Mr. Sang Thong
Muang Ngoy is a tiny village only reachable by boat on the Nam Ou River. We hired a private boat and left Nong Khiaw early so that we could make some stops along the way. The first stop we made was to our Captains village to pick up his kids and look around a bit. We then traveled further up the river to another village where we took a short hike to a waterfall. We finally made it to Muang Ngoy in the late afternoon and decided to do another short hike to a sunset viewpoint. This slow journey from Nong Khiaw to Muang Ngoy was one of those experiences that you don’t plan for but remember forever.

Those kids don’t have much but they have everything. The smile on their faces and joy they bring is priceless. ❤Laos
The fact that nobody was ever out of breath during these hikes is mind blowing! 🤯 such a great video! Every was just so friendly ❤️
Hello 👋 Glad you enjoyed it! The hikes around this area were pretty epic and the people are so friendly! Thanks for commenting 🤗
I just came across y'alls channel. I just wanted to say being a Lao- American it's amazing to see y'all share our culture with the world and learning about our country. ❤️
Thank you so much!! We can't wait to explore more of Laos!
being a Lao-American, thank you for sharing the world about my beautiful culture and people!! This place is not well known so to know that people are out there taking trips and exploring the country and talking to our people warms my heart. Thank you guys!! Awesome videos :)
So glad you enjoyed it! It was such an amazing trip we will always remember! Can’t wait to explore more of Laos! Thanks for your kind words Amy 💜
@@SammyandTommy do you just fly to Lao or have to enter through Thailand? I'm trying to visit next year and maybe move there for good. That's my kind of lifestyle.
@@SammyandTommy is
@@banpho7527 i don’t need an english tour guide. Im Lao and could understand just fine as well as speak it. My parents were refugees there. They have told me multiple stories of how it was before. I know a lot of things have changed. I am just grateful that people are actually visiting and getting to know my culture.
I would love to visit your country. I looked at some information and the landscape is just gorgeous.
Thank you so much for showing Laos to the world. This is a very unique and very special place, unlike any others.
Our people are simple. But when we immigrate to the states, we become very complicated.
It really is! Laos stole a little piece of our hearts for sure! 🤗
@@paperdrop7602 🤣 everyone does when he's in a stressful city/country
Laos is beautiful
Please tell your parents that I give them major respect and props for going on this climb and journey with you . They are awesome !
Excellent depiction of quiet, solitude of Laos' countryside. Really mesmerizing landscape & the kids with their innocence written all over were truly adorable.
Kudos to both Tommy & Sammy. Respect for your folks, too. Lots of luv from India. ❤❤❤
What a wonderful comment! Thanks for making our day Amit 🙏 Laos was such an amazing experience! One we will never forget! Thanks for all the love 💜
Yes village kids are the most innocent and lovely ones. They live a basic life but happy life.
They were so happy and we felt lucky to be able to spend some time with them!
Welcome to Laos. Thank you for traveling and sharing with the world. May your family be happy.
Thank you! 😃
Every time I watch your clips make me cry 😭😭😭I miss my country so much
Hopefully it’s a good cry! Hope you can visit there soon 🤞
@@SammyandTommy I live in USA Louisiana for 42 years
Sammy here! Such a small world, I’m from Ponchatoula , LA 🤗💖
Very only2hours and 45 minutes from my house.. wow my son live in BatonRouge la small world
I understand u
It is not my couuntry but I. Go there 15 years and i miss It soo much too
Koi kao laos
Wow, the landscape is incredible, but the people from Laos are sooo friendly! It makes me smile just to look at them, especially the kids, they seem to be truly happy and genuinely kind 😊... What an amazing video, guys. Really well done! 😃The longer format fitted perfectly with the adventures, I really enjoyed watching every second of it. 😊
Laos has some of the friendliest people we have ever met! We felt truly lucky to be able to spend time with the locals, especially the kiddos! Glad you enjoyed the longer video, it was a big boy to edit haha! 🤗
@@SammyandTommy I didn't know much about Laos, I'm happy to say that now I have a grasp of how cool it is... 😊😊
Have you ride the brand new Laos-China railway? It is the first high speed train in Laos that opened last December. You can see the landscape from the mountains to the jungles. If you like nature, it's a fun ride. You can tour both countries Laos and China on same day.
Thanks for sharing your wonderful video with all of us. Sammy and Tommy, I hope that you all have a wonderful and a safe trip 😃👍😎🇺🇸❤.
Thank you Ken! So glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate the support 🍻
Awww the kids were so cute!! Thanks for another great video :)

Wunderschöne Videos über Laos.
Beautiful.
Thank you 🤗 So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you very much for conveying to the world to know many countries of Laos. I am Lao Savannakhet.
Thanks for visiting, just shots of the country and people. Not much on the history and information about the people. Enjoy your stay.
Thanks for watching! We know we need to get better about including more information in our videos , hopefully we can improve on this in future videos ! Thanks for the feedback 💖
Children of lao is so smart and lovely
I love love love this series. I had English students from Laos. I loved them of course. I love seeing this also because this is where they came from. The kids are SO cute. It's good to know that the raspberry means the same thing in every language. That made me laugh. :)
Love to hear you’re enjoying this series 💜 It was definitely one of our favorite experiences to date. So glad we can give you an idea of where your students come from :) The raspberry was hilarious 😂 Thanks for sharing 🤗
I was one of those students, first let me thank you for doing what you do. You have taught us well. As I grew up and wanted to know what happened to my country. I was looking UA-cam videos, I came a across an American GI describing what he saw and will never forget. The village full of people like the ones you see here in this video was bombed by the US and the entire village was gone. The horror on his face and he said this not what he signed up for. We were bombed for 10 years. We were one of the lucky families that was able to get to Thailand.
Laos is the country of smile and warm hearts.
You are teacher
I can see that you are good people ❤
Wow, that is really sweet, thank you! This made our day 🤗
Very warmly welcome to Laos. We wish you enjoy traveling in Laos
Thanks so much 🤗 We loved our time there and can’t wait to make another trip!
Love watching it. Thanks.
Love to hear it! Thank you!
Adorable 🥰 kids
They made the video shine 💯!
Thanks for the video, that’s a great place to visit…I’ll looking forward to. For me I’m visiting the places where I haven’t been in my childhood 😊 … it’s like restarting my lao life … many souvenirs and emotions ❤❤
One of our favorite places 😍 We really hope you continue to enjoy your travels
I love love love this series.The kids are SO cute
So happy to hear this since it was so much fun to create this series! The kids stole the show 💜 Thanks for being here!
Nong Khiaw is one lovely beautiful town. Aw!! Those smiles melts my heart away and thank you for sharing❤🙏 from Southern part of California
It really is 😍 The smiles of the children steal the show! Thank you for commenting Connie 🤗
Laos is surely a beautiful country, with materially poor yet friendly and less pretentious people, but deep in my heart I always think of the amount of bombs that were dropped on the country.
Having seen those kids, it's reminiscent of the day when I was in my childhood, I grew up in an isolated village in the South of Laos, back in the day life was so happy. what a video.
Wow that's amazing! Thanks so much for sharing 🤗 Hopefully we could bring back some good memories for you! Thanks for watching Sengkham!
Thanks for your sharing an awesome video. Children are adorable 🥰
Our pleasure! They really steal the show! Thanks for sharing 👋
I have fallen in love with Lao people. Can not wait to go there to visit.
I am good and you, said the child. Haha. Amazing English of country side children
One of my favorite moments! Thanks for watching 🍻
That is an amazing experience of a lifetime indeed.
Thank you 🤗 We will remember it forever!
So proud of you all , enjoying the trip in Laos
We loved it so much! Can't wait to return and explore more!
Sammy and Tommy: You guys are awesome thanks so much for showing me the video. I have not been back since the Viet war and arriving in Minnesota and have not went back since 1980.
Our pleasure! Thanks for the awesome comment! We really loved our time there and can't wait to return 💜
Thanks for sharing your videos. Your way of video taking is unique, informative and interesting to watch. My name is CherTong Yang, and I was from Laos, too. I lived in the northern part of Laos. I didn’t have the opportunity to explore all of Laos when I was living there. First of all, I was 11 years old and growing up during the height of the Vietnam war. Thank you 🙏. God bless you and your family while touring my country Laos. I am now living in Minnesota, USA.
So glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos! Nice to meet you CherTong 👋 Thanks for sharing 💜
Smile is free 😀even they have nothing but having big heart 💚 always love lao true mindset 😊

สวัสดีครับ...ว้าวสวยงามมากมาย...จากคนไทย🤗
This video reminds me of Cambodia the last 15 years.
Thanks for visiting my former country, Laos! Those village kids remind me when I was still a little kid like them and lived in villages like that. After the communists took over Laos in 1975, my family and many Lao people fled as refugees to Thailand then to the USA. Subscribed!
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching and subscribing 👊 Really appreciate it! That’s awesome you were raised in a small village like that. Thanks for sharing Max! Have you ever been back?
@@SammyandTommy I have been back a couple times, 2005 and 2019. I left as a kid and have been back as an adult. It’s different to me because I have spent all my adult life in USA. Thanks for responding!
Come back to your root. Laos is a new country requiring good ppl to help develop the nation
Love it man.. I wanna do this from US all the way to South East Asia on Motor Cycle ...
Love these kid's high five
We did too 🙌 It was so much fun! Thanks for watching 💜
Oh lovely

So true! We are very lucky 🙏 Thanks for watching!
I keep coming back to your Laos videos. Love your videography, especially also the sound design. Really well done! Your videos are also a great inspiration for our upcoming trip to South East Asia, including Laos, in July.
Really appreciate it Gerald! It was one of my favorite series to create! Thanks for noticing the sound design. It's my favorite part of the editing process. So excited for your trip to Laos! Have an amazing time! Hope to see you again.
Thanks for showing, was wondering what we have missed on our trip through Nong Khiaw when we skipped on the boat to Muang Ngoy.
very cool
Thanks Peter!
Thank you for doing the video of Laos culture and sharing this beautiful unknown country. Hopefully your video will inspired more peoples to visit Laos.
It was our pleasure! One of our best trips yet! Everyone should want to visit this fantastic country!
