- There's a SECRET tunnel at the top of the Plain of Jars Quarry, Site 21. Site 21 is where most of the Jars that are scattered throughout this area of Laos were supposedly made. What many DO NOT KNOW though is on the ridge line above this quarry was a SECRET military installation left over from the 2nd Indochina war, or Secret War. We take you to the very top and explore this area..

You guys did great dressing her in her hmong outfit. She looks very pretty and looks like she enjoys wearing it!!
Mina looks like a cute little lamp shade walking 😂.
Another gem Todd, so much recent history mixed in with ancient history. But beware, "Whatever you do don't mention the war" ( John Cleese from Fawlty Towers) or you might upset someone!!!. 🤣😂🤣😂 I hope that guy who criticised your last vlog is looking at this one to see how much the "Secret War" has influenced the local population and is something that no-one should ever forget! Absolutely fascinating the stone Jars and your theories as to how they were transported. That tunnel looked as though it went on for miles, such a shame that the information centre was closed. It would have been interesting to see how far the cave went back as well, a pity you didn't take your torch, but hey that leaves something for next time 😀 Loved Mina's little song and dance act resplendent in her Hmong outfit. Todd you have such a dry sense of humour with your little asides, they crack me up. God bless you all as always 😀❤🙏
Ooh yeah.. don't want the history police having a bitch fit 😝
Yeah.. would've love to explore that cave further mate. Will be prepared next time 👌😉
You take care mate.
That tunnel goes right though the hill..... if you had walk around the path that goes to the left.. It goes to the other end of the tunnel.. that comes out on the side of a cliff behind a big rock to cover the entrance.
Really enjoyed that episode buddy. Bit of fitness up and up the stairs in the spooky military. Tunnels 🤙🏽👊🏽🙏🏽
Thanks for the Shout out Todd. Best trip ever!!! ❤❤😅😂😊
CONGRATULATIONS to 60000 subscribers !!!!!
Todd, You survived that mountainous walk. I could hear you huffing and puffing. You are braver man than me. And how pretty was Mina's Hmong dress. Every time we see those jars,
.You wonder? . Do you think they're over 3000 years old ? And were they used as furnaces ? All the best 👍👍 Jim and Harriet
Now you know why the concrete path was built, the jungle was probably sprayed with Agent orange as pine trees have been planted .
That looks like the same restaurant i ate in ,in 2007 i spent two days there then I got the bus too sam neua I remember it was a long trip and half of the bus was being sick and the bus broke down and once I reached sam neua it was about 7pm, their wasn't much going on and the only food I could get was some sticky rice and chickens feet but as always the beer Laos tasted good happy days 😅
This was such a cool video, loved it!! I love all the historical stuff that you share. Really interesting.
We were planning on going to the tunnel and quarry when we were in Pongsavan, but ended up not going. We surly missed our. Thank you for making the effort to show us what we missed.
America dropped 3.5 tons of bombs for every man woman and child in Laos a neutral country. Let that sink in. Ive been to the Plain of the Jars. A fascinating area.
Laos was anything but neutral. The CIA instigated a civil war in Laos where the Royalist were on the American side and the communist on the Viet Cong side. The royalist mainly consist of Hmong hilltribes commanded by General Vang Pao. After the Vietnam war was over and the communist won, Hmong people were severely persecuted. Most people don't even know about the war in Laos and the sacrifices of the Hmong people because the CIA was never supposed to be there that's why the war was popularly known as The Secret War.
Sabaidee Pi Mai Todd and family! Just subscribed. Love your Lao countryside expeditions. It is refreshing to see and appreciate the various ethnicities of Lao cultures. Thank you for helping out the poor and reaching out to those that need help. Keep up the good work. Best wishes to you and your family. G’day mate from the states.
Awesome! Thank you!
Mina looks great in her Hmong dress!!!
Great video. Worth the climb to the top. ❤
Hi Tod,what is the best way to contact you?
My 'Now in Lao' FB page 😉
Very interesting secret tunnel,and military installation site, awesome views and advantage point.Thanks for that guys. Mina looking cute in that steppin out Hmong outfit...👗👌....Cheers....Kenno
Can you take your national cricket team and get them lost in that tunnel…please!
😆👍
I was afraid might
Be snake 🐍 in the tunnel.
Love the video Todd. Thanks again. Keep up the great work cheers mate. 👍👍👍👍👍
You haven’t ever tried mango sticky rice? Bloody sin. Tunnel was cool.
Howdy Todd,,I figured out why the rooster was raising hell with my beautiful niece! 😂 He was jealous of how colorful and pretty she looked. She looked really cute,,Neenee did a great job dressing her up. Dude,,I'm so fricken tired,,I haven't slept good in weeks,,nearly exhausted. That lady has a ton of words pouring out her mouth😂. Take care,,,Ttyl,,,Marlon
I think that they probably only took the successfully carved and therefore lighter stones.
Hey Todd, think of the hard yakka that went into laying the concrete path and steps.
No trucks to deliver anything, all brought in by back pack.
they say those jars were for the giants that once Roam Laos, they have similar jars like that in Assam, India. they found clay pots inside, people buried next to it. still want to know how those people were living long ago & what was it really was for
WOW, Mina so beautiful in the Hmong dress!
Plain of jars ?
More like the gully of jars.
Isn't it surprising that there is no hate now a days among the Laotians towards the nation that dropped all that bombs and chemicals ?
Hi Todd, a little off topic mate but if you want to remove the brand info from the window tint try some hand sanitiser on some paper towel.cheers mate
Id like the museum,,but i dont think i could pull off the hike to the bunker
Wow what an amazing view from the top thanks for not giving up because I guarantee I would not of even made it to the jars 😅 but because of your determination we all can appreciate the beauty.
Note: always carry water 😅
I love that Dennis Leary song...

Todd where have you been .. no mango sticky rice 😮😮 amazing
Oh I knew about it.. just didn't think it was that good! 😋
🤗🙏🏼!
Great video, loved it. Thank you. Can’t get enough of your little entertainer Mina 💃🏻
Have a great day from across the pond at the moment.
She is so funny with some of the things she comes out with! 💚
Mina is very beautiful in her hmong outfit. The adventure! For today was great. Theory on how the bowls were made and the two coves. Just to many steps to 🪜 climb. Everyone made it halfway. Great view at the top. Great song an dance by Mina along the way.so adorable.❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
Thanks Gerald.. was a really good day! 😉
Mina is a little sweetie. What was the significance of the jars Todd? Bob n Lina. Across the ditch.
Hey Bob.. you've heard of the Plain of Jars? This was the site they were presumably carved from.
Spooky that cave Todd 👍👈👻long way up 💪
I thought for a minute that Russell Coight had come along.
Hello Todd, I did mention it before, why dont you get a decent mike that would clip in you shirt or T shirt. There are some really good ones out there. I can hardly hear you especially in the car, you turn your head and the sound goes. Many times I just switch off. Very annoying.
Sorry mate.
Nah I'm good 😉👍
Those mics are great if you're the only one talking in the video.. but for those I'm with or sounds in the distance. Not at all.
Sorry mate
Todd where would you recommend for us to stay
Up until this trip we had only ever stayed in one place in Phonsavan, and that was out of convenience. I have no idea what type of accomm' you're used to, and with our limited variety of guesthouses we've stayed at here, I'm probably not the one to ask.
Clairs a trooper, she pushed you todd😂, nice lady, Jeremy's a sook 😂. American government bombed, sprayed chemicals, and these people still won.🙏.
She bloody did and I'm grateful. Don't think I would've gone as far as we did if she didn't push me 👍
Thanks Todd, it was a hard slog. I agree Jeremy is a sook, but he has a lot more to carry 😂
That concrete stairs and the tunnel were built after 1975 by the prisoners. The cave on the top of that mountain was the original cave where Communist troops used to hide in from the bombers. And I guess that the jars could be made at that site.
hey todd was that your car keys on the floor in that tunnel🤣
Thailand is famous for its mango sticky rice we used to just about live on it .. greatest desert ever mate. Those 2 big ones were xxxx gold Todd .. lol. Those steps and tunnels were a real solid workout for both of you so elusive in the mountains. A really interesting vlog thanks. Bushyboy Oz.
I didn’t know about the other sites, but the main one was pegged out only small area could be walked on, the bomb disposal team had not finished,we were lucky to be taken by one of the Aussie bomb disposal workers but was still on your mind, that was 30 odd years ago, wonder if it’s safe now?
I had been to this cave in Phou keng in 2017. There was no one at the whole mountain on that day but just the two of us. We entered that cave from the other side and it was super dark and scary. Someone had told us that there were many soldiers who were wounded, treated in this cave had died during the war so we thought that their spirits might still be hiding inside the cave. We got really spooked, my female partner almost cry, LOL
😮😮😮
