People should appreciate the great effort of building this train system in the mountainous region.
People should understand that the Chinese communist government is horrible. China infects the world with the kung flu, steals other country's technology, drug dealers pushing poison fentanyl, economy killing birth control, worst polluter, climate killing energy producers, sinful gamblers, no individual freedom, and can only copy others not create. Merry Christmas!
@@davidjackson7281 You are saying everything your media is feeding you, and I already know. Anything new?
China originally wanted to build the China-Vietnam-Thailand high-speed rail, but Vietnam handed over the project to Japan. China could only build the China-Laos-Thailand high-speed rail and use Laos as a railway transshipment center. Laos would not lose money. Every year, the goods transported between China and Thailand, Transit fees must be paid to Laos, and passenger transport can drive tourism in neighboring countries. After the epidemic is over, a large number of tourists will enter Laos from Thailand and China, and the income of the Lao people will also increase. With the improvement of the economy, China will increase The infrastructure construction in Laos will improve the living standards of the Lao people. This railway will be the economic artery of Laos in the future!
Beautiful country and the railway made it comfortable to go see. 7 hours vs. 45 minutes! I will keep this train in mind when I go to South East Asia.
The views of the greens and mountains are spectacular! The train looks clean and fresh too
The landscape of this country is breathtaking. What a trip.
I am excited to travel from BKK to Laos and China by high speed train and Thanks for the great video kup!🙏
such a beautiful country 🇨🇳❤🇱🇦 thanks for your works 👍🏻
And it feels like we're in a city somewhere in China instead of Laos. Come here to Indonesia next year and review our actual high speed train.
Good idea :-)
Isn’t it Chinese built also?

Thank you Jeroen for the new episode from Laos to BKK on a new high speed train. Beautiful landscapes during the tour.👍👍
Great video my friend. Can’t wait to try the train AND for it to eventually connect Bangkok to China
Too much political interference in Thailand otherwise the HSR would have been completed long ago linking Thailand to China through Laos
@@yu-jd5jg the main reason is that Thailand did not believe 900km can be done in 5-6 years
@@mabo9636 its not thai government believe it or not, it can be done lightning fast if all they want is get it done.
i think thai government doesnt care about toursim /trade income atm , they only want the project to continue providing jobs to locals for as many years as possible.
It's wonderful to see greenery and beautiful mountains
Beautiful Laos. Thanks for showing us around 👍😁

Dream again,lao is in great inflation now
@@heanh which country is not with inflation now?
2 yuan added to your account ✌️
The train systems both passenger type and freight will open up Laos to the world more and more since Laos is a locked country.
The amount of ticket checks is crazy. However this line is such an improvement. It's on my list to travel from the Netherlands to Bali by train, however with Russia at this moment and lockdowns in China, i guess.its going to be hard.
Ps I love your Dutch accent, I guess youtube channels with Dutch accents are the best.
From 1964 to 1973, the U.S. dropped more than 2.5M tons of ordnance on Laos during 580,000 bombing sorties-equal to a planeload of bombs every eight minutes, 24 hours a day, for nine years - making Laos the most heavily bombed country per capita in history. What on earth did the Laotians do to deserve this? Great video, thank you.

Beautiful country and scenery. Laos needs economic development.

that is cool,I would like take a high speed rail from kunming to Bangkok 😊

BRI is to assist land locked countries develop. This was done in Eastern Europe, and also South Asia.
Western European countries ignored their less developed Eastern European countries and concentrated their efforts to create military alliances for the past thirty year expanding NATO and selling weapons which did not help the local economies and didn't take care of the welfare of the people. It was all about military expansion.
When China started to assist in the infrastructures, western European politicians started complaining about
safety of their backyards and preservation of their values. Values don't resolve poverty or hunger . They're only empty rhetorics. What have they done to contribute to the economic development of these countries?
Truth
100% correct.
Great to read your thoughts...
You sound really smart. Tell me more about the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre.
True. The west doesn't care for anyone else not even the UK cares about the suffering of the poor who are getting poorer!
At present, maybe it is the most beautiful train in southeast Asia.
I agree :-)
Good vdo mate
Very smooth and nice Review , thank you for Visit Laos

thanks for sharing... had no idea there are so many tunnels.
They should build a high speed train between Singapore and Bangkok via KL, George Town, Hat Yai, Surat Thani
These five countries will do it. On what timeline is unclear
I think Bangkok to KL via Kota Bahru (Eastcoast Peninsular Malaysia) will be built. At present the line from KL to Kota Bahru is being built by China CCC. It is expected completed by year 2026, 3 years more.
They had plans to do just that (trains all the way from Kunming to Singapore) for a long time but mostly for political reasons (Chinese involvement = control) these plans are paused and restarted again and again.
How many hours do you think are needed to clear 600 passengers at the border? Assuming 1 hour, then there can be only maximum 1 cross border departure per hour. 1 border adds 1 hour, 2 borders 2 hours. For small distances that cross multiple borders, this makes it potentially slower than flights. For longer distances involving multiple borders, this disadvantage may become even more apparent. Besides, current train fare that is not cheap is already subsidized by governments. Will governments subsidize pass through international passengers? If they can identify those passengers (if), the unsubsidized fare may be more expensive than air fare. Basically cross border high speed trains have low viability.
If they are not cross border trains, then it will depend on financial feasibility at individual domestic areas. If Bangkok - Chiang Mai cannot sustain such a train service, can southern Thailand do it? Extremely hard.
The most they can do is 140-160 kph trains like now. These are not high speed trains. If you have taken them, you will realize they are barely faster than buses on highways, and at a much higher fare. Most people will not find it nice to travel more than 300 km on such trains, because the traveling time is going to be too long. For shorter distances like 100-300 km, it is bearable. But this will be mostly domestic, again depending on individual domestic areas. If the area cannot sustain it financially, then it will just drain government resources. Not many countries here can hide huge train system debts like China does. If they can, they would have built subways in every city. The fact that only 1 city in each country has subways means the governments do not have the ability to handle such levels of debt.
I have an engineering background. But I no longer dream of things without checking how achievable they are. Money is never *not* a problem.
@@lako2023 Countries in Asia happen to be quite like this. Politics will always be involved, and projects will be locked in drawers.

Really hope Thailand pushes to finish their first HSR line connecting to Laos by the end of 2020s instead of waiting for 2038 I’d be dang old 😂!
According to the prof Ruth from Thammasat University, Thai officials did not believe this railway can be built so fast at that moment back 2015-2016
Do you believe in incarnation? We will surely use it, but certainly not in our lifespan.

Welcome to laos🇱🇦
Insane beauty
The Fuxing series of train is the latest series. All the 350 km/h HSR in China are using Fuxing series.
In Southeast Asia there are two countries that have bullet trains (Indonesia and Laos.) The difference is that bullet trains in Indonesia are not yet connected to China and they connect cities in Indonesia with the aim of growing new industrial areas, especially growth in the electric car battery industry ( Indonesia Battery Corp / IBC, LG Energy Soultions and CATL have started producing electric batteries for all EV brands in the world and controls more than 70% of the world's electric car batteries ).
So many electric car brands have been produced in Indonesia (Hyundai Ioniq 5, Wuling Air EV, Toyota Innova Zenix Hybrid, BZ4X and others) and this not only assembling like in other countries because in Indonesia they also produce electric car batteries.
Very different from the bullet trains in Laos, they are directly connected to cities in China.Things that are very unbalanced and profitable for China, with the completion of this bullet train it will be easier for China to expand economically to Laos and Laos only as a consumer for Chinese goods / products.
These are all double-win scenarios for Asia&SouthEastAsian regions. Without transportation and trade, there will be no economic growth. If Indonesia does not trade with other countries, and import and export goods, it is also impossible to develop EV car industry in air. This is all about business, not politics.
Bullet trains in Indonesia.
High speed train in Laos.

Hope someday coming that we can take this train to China or to Laos
One day come to Indonesia, and travelling to bandung. And use high speed railway. Usually by car 3 or 4 hours arive in bandung. But with high speed railway 350/ km hours only 45 minuts.very fast. Speed railway Laos 160 km/ hours, and thailand speed railway 250 km/ hours finish on 2027.indonesia high speed railway 350 km/ hours open to public on July 2023.and this is high speed railway the first in southeast, only in jakarta 👍
I think I will check it out when it is ready :-)

Thailand,Indonesia,Laos the same high speed railway service standard.
Since 2014. Chinese service speed Standard
China High speed rail, service speed categories 350, 300, 250, 200,160 km/h. Train code prefix D, G
China intercity High speed rail, service speed categories 350, 200, 160, 140 km/h. Train code prefix C
what's the design speed of track and signaling system?
Very nice 👍
4:42 恭喜你打开流量密码😁😁😁
When you complain about tunnels, I'm thinking about how difficult and costly it was to dig them through the mountains. The railway standards are so high there is no level cross on the way and no chance for wild animals or humans to get into the railway.
Man that place would make for an awesome motorcycle ride.

Maybe, but at the same time US was in that infamous Vietnam/Laos war , the Chinese Communist Party/Mao had a policy of terror called Cultural Revolution which caused 1.5-7-5 mln casualties and a multitude of mlns of people imprisoned in socalled Laogai/Gulag 're-education' concentration camps (causing mlns of casualties as well). And that was after the disastrous 'Great Leap Forward' policy which caused a whopping 15-55 mln casualties in the Great Chinese Famin (up to 10% of population). And recently they revived the Laogai Camps in the West of China with 10% of population imprisoned!
What could that mean for Thailand or Laos in the future ?
You've got to take in account that a railway by China is as much about economic goals as it is about chinese control ! Furthermore a lot of chinese hs railways do not render enough. If that becomes the case here this railway may become a debt trap as well.
@@allws9683 that's not quite true. USA media would have us believe so
200 km/h is over the threshold to be considered high speed. On normal tracks without a special train body tiling system, the trains never go over 200 km/h even if you have straight tracks. So 200 km/h rail tracks shall be considered as HSR, and the maintenance system and the related cost shall be the same as HSR. Further speed elevation only requires better terrains (with a larger radius in the curve) and the maintenance system is the same as tracks of 200 km/h.
