Todd, this video is an example of why your channel is important and purposeful. You are making us aware of important things in worlds we are otherwise oblivious to. Thanks. It thrills me to no end and gives me hope that there are guys like this committed to helping protect Lao culture and these various microcosmic ways of life. Once it goes over the waterfall, you can't get it back. Good on ya!!!
You're right. Paul's heart is in the right place and is doing so much for the community in his part of the world. It was a pleasure staying there and getting to know him better. One night just isn't enough in a place like that. It really is paradise. Thank you for your kind words 💚
Loved it,Brother! After sseing the treehouse,,I knew it was going to be interesting. I've had a thing for treehouses since I was a kid. The first one I built on my own ,,I was 10ish it was a little platform I managed to nail up to a tree ,,,oh,,,dang,,all of 6 feet high. But I had a right blast playing up there. I had a shitton of firecrackers and I blasted loads of enemies from up there. Never ever got the opportunity to have the right kind of tree in my yard,, to build a treehouse master style,,but I can definitely appreciate the the effort and design that went in to building this beauty. Mina bo nina must have had a couple months of extra energy stored up from 2 month of school. She loved everything but the dog,,and I felt bad for him because he was embarrassed she was crying. Poor kid and dog lol,,I hope she made friends with him by the time the weekend was done. I'm curious how Troopy did? I'm sure that's coming up,,lol. Well brother,,if I ever make it over,,, that resort is one place I wanna go. Probably won't be jumping in the river,, but I'll be doing backflips into the hot tub 😂😅🤣 take care Todd and Neenee! I love❤you Mina! Be a good girl. I have a couple stories I'd like to read to you, Mina. Ok,,Ttyl,,,Marlon . P
What a find ? Did he build it all himself? Paul, a great host , a beautifully done video. It doesn't get any better than this in this beautiful Shangri-La All the best mate👍 Jim and Harriet
hi Jim and Harriet. I would like to mention that I've would have never come this far without the endless suport from my girlfriend and our team wich are all from our village. It's like a big exchange program for all parties involved. We learn from them , we provide jobs and we sharing our knowledge and improve their skills , and take them out of their comfort zone. In terms of farming and buiding .
Todd, when Paul arrived at the river bed to pick you up i was in awe of the mountain in the background. As the journey went on it just got more and more spectacular. This was such a great experience ,the architecture, animals, night diving just the whole adventure. Nee Nee, Mina and your good self just continue to stretch my imagination about the beautiful country that is Laos. I will sleep well tonight.
I have a dream .. must've been Paul's driving force to establish a resort area like that. Natural settings such as this showcase the beauty of Laos as a country. Thanks for sharing your adventure in this wonderful paradise Todd. Bushyboy Oz.
What a beautiful place Todd. A real island getaway, where you can immerse yourself in nature. The accommodation is out of this world! Seeing those guys fishing was very interesting, but I do have some concern about the size of the fish that they are catching. Are they fully grown or are they just young fish. So many places in Thailand are now being over fished which will eventually lead to barren waters. At least these guys are not using gill nets to catch them. Looking forward to seeing more. God bless you all 😀❤🙏
Ahh Awesome accommodation there mate, Paul seems like a great guy,engaging with his guests, brilliant host,and entertaining Mina,I wish him well. Thanks Todd. Kenno
Dang , 2 lovely ladies to dance with , seriously jealous :-) Right , next to the herb garden , small solar power ! A lot going on here , where does the power come from ? Lots of cloud cover , with the speed and volume of the river , hydro ? Will see :-) Casinos are not for the locals ! The fishing is a feature :-) Long time since I fished for prawns at night , we got lots :-) Camera shots look great . Am thinking of investing . The fishermen need flippers in that river . Not a lot of fish in the basket , will feed a few :-) And the cool stills , awesome
This is blooming marvelous mate. Music, photography, and just the best conversation about a serious and real problem facing this and many other countries. Loved it
Super interesting on so many levels . Mini has a Mom and a great actor :-) The spot is superb , being on the outside curve of a river , can be an issue. They have done it before and after global warming :-) @ 13 :44 , the curve gets mentioned : -)
That such a beautiful place, I hope he keeps making it more beautiful,hopefully he turns it into a resorts.this guy really care bout the place that’s great.does Paul have a UA-cam channel?
Well our next adventure we will be calling in and spending a night or two here mate. This valley is one we loved driving up on our way to Kasi and should stay out of Chinese influence. Honestly everything you mentioned is so true.
@@pookeyhutchison7838 I was all set for the treehouse until I saw that dome in real life.. freaking awesome for where it's at! Luxury plus.. and the storm that night and flashes of lightening through the glass roof.. magic!
Carolyn just loved it at first sight and said I want to stay there next time. That would have insane to watch ol mate. Just another jewel in Lao that surprises you. We still cannot stop talking about our adventure.☺@@NowinLao
It would be such a shame to see Laos lose its identity to China. We’ve seen Chinese exploitation of Cambodia and I’m worried that Laos may head down the same path. Like the old song goes: “They paved paradise. And put up a parking lot”. I hope many like minded people can influence and educate Laos people to make the right decisions for their own culture and long term prosperity.
Besides our secret island homestay we both have our own companies in the capital Vientiane, and we have kids who needs to go school. So that's why she couldn't join us

Paul doesn't know the spark he's lit under my soul. Go Paul go!!!!!
Mina is such a little natural, and Neenee looks so proud🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

What a lucky guy Paul is. Having his own private paradise in Laos. Wish i have that amount of money to go invest in buying my own island.
Thanks 🙏 but I have to mention that without the endless suport from my girlfriend and our team of local we never would have come this far. ❤
Cool guy and nice place!!! Organic architecture shows he lives in harmony with nature

Dang , 2 lovely ladies to dance with , seriously jealous :-)

A lot going on here , where does the power come from ?
Lots of cloud cover , with the speed and volume of the river , hydro ?
Will see :-)
Casinos are not for the locals !
The fishing is a feature :-)
Long time since I fished for prawns at night , we got lots :-)
Camera shots look great .
Am thinking of investing .
The fishermen need flippers in that river .
Not a lot of fish in the basket , will feed a few :-)
And the cool stills , awesome

They have done it before and after global warming :-)

Thanks Pookster! Great place to chill and swim away from the hordes 👌
Well the big girl really wants to stay in the concrete dome joint with the skylight. So bloody cool mate.@@NowinLao

Great video! What is the weather like start of February in vang vieng?

It's not in their hands... Greed wins unfortunately
Thanks!
Much appreciated Jack, thank you
You are kindly welcome, and thank you for being a Wonderful Family!!@@NowinLao
We stayed in a treehouse a few months ago. It was not nearly as nice as this one you are showing.
👍🙂
Happy to see the young girl with you. I thought that you had to give her back to her birth-mother without any recourse.
Thank you.
This should put a smile on ya dial.. 😉

Marvelous place. With Lao wife ya can own a business Todd? YY. Mike. BTW thanks for the videos!
You don't even need a Lao wife to own a business. You just can't own land in your name here. 👌
15:14 your one lucky bastard Mr. Hales...... This maybe one of your best video's yet! 🙏🙏👍👍❤❤
It's in my top 900 👌
Thanks mate 😉
Just asking where is the man's wife did not see her on the video
Besides our secret island homestay we both have our own companies in the capital Vientiane, and we have kids who needs to go school. So that's why she couldn't join us
Sorry for the language
geheim? was für ein Witz 😅
