Enjoy your life Neenee you deserve to do what you want with your money 😊
Todd, Neenee deserves a new car. She is a wise lady who invested a great deal in her future as well as you have. You guys got a lot going on there. Hopefully, you can establish a
community that can help each other make it more livable into the future. Hey Todd , You got to figure out a way to get that pool for Mina. All the best. 🙏🙏 Jim and Harriet
Yay big congrats guys it's a beautiful car
Have a Toyota RAV4 for over 10 years. Never needed a tune up, still runs like new, with the original spark plugs......very reliable brand.
We've got a 2014 fortuner here in Thailand and it's a bloody gem. Only done 100,000km and serviced every 5,000km and it's still going like a new car. Loved the William Shakespeare song at the end!!!
@@1960tiffany Awesome! 😎👍
Congratulations for new vehicle very beautiful very nice 👍

Congratulations on the new Toyota 👌
Good video you explain the value of US dollars there nice family also
G'day guys, congrats Nee Nee, very nice vehicle, you deserve it and enjoy😊
Pmsl when you called little one spot😂😂
Congratulations 👍👍👍
Nice new car! Now it’s time for a family road trip straight east to the ocean “as the crow flies”. Da Nang, Vietnam waits for you guys. 👍🏻
Congratulations Nee Nee, beautiful car, you deserve it, work hard when you are young to reap the benefits when older. Enjoy it
Congratulations NENE
Sorry for the misspelling of NEENEE’s name
Great job young lady, you deserve it.
We all work for our things, mate. Enjoy the car
I had stopped for a while didn't see how your family is doing but now I see Mina has a big changed. Since you have her she can't speak any English at all but now she could learn things so quickly and her English is incredible. It compared to me, I took at least two years to know how to speak English and can communicate to the people who speak English well, but all I see about Mina here is very well done.
@@nengvang9163 Thanks for stopping by Neng 👋
Congrats to her with the new whip 🤘
Congratulations Neenee I am proud of you. I wish I had a wife who invested , enjoy your new SUV. white will be more cool and look clean . be safe 🙏 an stay healthy 💪, Thank you for sharing your video👍👍👍👍👍
I just gotta move there and soon. Cheers ❤
Congratulations. Hard work plus smart investing. Skip
Well done Neenee.You two are such an awesome couple and now you have Mina to complete your family.Great stuff!
💚👍
Thank goodness you never went electric ...there a money pit . Car looks Fantastic good buy !! Very , very safe choice , Enjoy .
Nice one Neenee, hope you have many happy hours driving your new car, you can always trade Tod in for a new model later lol..
Hi Neenee, congratulations on your new car, it looks great. Now is the time to reward yourself for all the hard work you put in to enable you to buy the land in the first place. A very wise investment. Great end to the vlog Todd with you and Mina together and the music was, as always well chosen. Mina is certainly Daddy's little angel and helper. God bless you all and may all your journeying in all your vehicles be protected by God to keep you safe. 😀❤🙏
Thanks Graeme.. hope Khon Kaen is treating you well 🙏
💯🔥💙👍
👍🙂👍
Congrats Neenee! That white Fortuner looks really great and you're gonna enjoy it. Hope to see a drag race with Todd soon.😂
She'll kick my arse! 😝
Try finding someone that can repair and spray paint a pearl finish??? It's not so easy!
I can do and lots of others can too, not an issue to be honest
Hey Todd, not a small job to take the fence out for your neighbour. Beautiful car. Regards Nev
I'm sure he can afford it Nev 😆👍
So happy for NeeNee and her new car. Gotta enjoy yourself in this life while you can. Mina is turning into quite a young lady. Now the 2 beautiful ladies can go out shopping.😊 Great life Todd. Bless all of you.
Congrats, Neenee on your new vehicle. You always get the guys saying buy used and worry about depreciation. I got the same hassle 10 years ago. My reasoning was I bought new for keeps and no worries about its maintenance from previous owners.
This! 💪
Cheers mate
Seems like a hell of a lot easier than the Thai visa process. Great video sir!
From what I've heard.. yes it is. 👌
Get the white one it's cooler in the summertime
Also cost extra due to popularity of the color for that reason.
Hey Todd Neenee & Mina! EVs aren't practical nor economical. Neenee, you prioritize yourself and enjoy your good fortune. Nice looking vehicle! Enjoyable video! Good fortune, health, fun and happiness. Stay safe
Especially when they use the recharging stations as carparks here! 😆 Cheers mate 👍
@@NowinLao A fact I wasn't aware of! Our not so president President and Congress pushed and passed a 7.5 billon infrastructure bill addition to build EV charging stations in 2021; so far only 8 have been built. EVs blow up when it is too cold or hot and in extreme rainy flooding conditions. Replacement battery prices are sometimes more expensive than the vehicles themselves and older model batteries are discontinued, leaving the vehicle inoperable and useless.
A Uni Mog 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hahaha not bloody likely! 😆
Awesome truck Neenee. Mina is the greatest kid ever. What's insurance like for the new truck and the troopy? Auto insurance here in the states is out of control. 👍🙏
hi todd + nee nee + mena
Todd as always a great informative vlog
Good to see you have no brace
Never buy EV !
Cheers mate 👍
I've got a white Toyota Fortuner gr sport in Thailand good cars
Todd 💬...
Cars and stuff..
Is there a internetski secondohando page ?
todd if you shit it up you wash it, nice one mate
Great video Todd, congratulations to Neenee on her new car, as you said correctly, people bust their guts over a lifetime of work and to spoil themselves once or twice is reward. Toyota tough, maybe stretching these days but they are the most reliable and you know they are the best for spare parts no matter where you are in the world. Peugeot are pretty good, however I think their SUV's are badge engineered Mitsubishi Outlanders. The Song My Little Angel sung by William Shakespeare brought back some fond memories from the 70's, V8 cars and fast women. Oops. 😇💥
Hahaha we've all been there mate 😉
Ev's are a waste of money, congratulations neenee, Toyota best vehicle going. Little possum is cheeky as ever😂.
I'm curious how the Peugeot (Push N Go) LandTrek will do. I've owned several sedan Peugeot's over the years. I've been eyeing the 3008 and the 5008. But in Thailand there's not a very good Peugeot dealership network.
Well done and NeeNee you are absolutely right! You worked hard now enjoy what you want when you want it. Nice car but expensive over there and I thought cars were cheaper there than here in Thailand? I have the same one and I love it. It cost about $US 50k, none the less congratulations!!!
In Australia we can't afford the good brands so we're buying the cheaper Chinese cars and they're everywhere. The Fortuner is $60,000AU and a Great Wall Tank is $40,000AU
Oh she has purchased a brand new Toyota SUV that was an awesome thing brother, congratulation to her a brand new car that she has always hard efforts. Purchasing an expensive car particularly in Laos is hard because most of the people are still can't afford the costs.
yes and the words i wass always poor now I can is more status than needed when you buy special a Prado and big problem is also in Laos is manny people sell them land for status products but a car new always bad investment always lose so manny other things you can better invest in. Is nothing to them is in a general mindset but I wish manny safe kilometers.
Nice SUV how much is car insurance in Laos? 😊
Todd, have you noticed people coming over from Thailand? I heard that many expats are leaving. Mina's listening and speaking skills are getting so crazy good.
Yes, have heard many stories of expats being fed up with visa difficulties and costs going up.
Yes, a very quick learner.. puts me to shame 😒
Toyota .. best decision
That Peogeot Landtrak is a rebaged chinese Changan Kaicene F70. 1.9 or 2.2, 180hp , 6 gear automativ , 370nm. Better by japanese brands
Just done my marriage visa extension last month, paid 3.000.000 kip in total, and got both the stay permit and the visa from the immigration office, i did not had to go anywhere else.
It took about 2 weeks ...
This is my 2nd extension, and everythong costed around 3M kip 2 years ago as well.
Thanks for the tip BTW, You told me about the new marriage visa back in 2020 or so during covid :)
@@djnor1979 3 million? Maybe you're paying an extra fee to have them take it to Foreign affairs for the visa part and why it takes 2 weeks. Still a fair price though for a 1 year visa. Much cheaper than the LaB2 visa.
In total mine was only 2.4 million.
@@NowinLao Yes, i am not complaining, just added some information. It is under 5.000 baht now ...
Been very happy with my Fortuner, bought it brand new in 2017, was 55,000 then, price has gone up a fair bit now then eh.
Use the ev for most of our city driving now though.
Yeah mate, they jumped about another 10% late last year when they adjusted the import tax on them.
Well done Neenee,on the purchase of her new toyota .👌🚙 Kenno
Well done to you too mate.. 971 videos complete! 😝👍
@@NowinLao ... ha ha yes,I was inside bound for a while with rainy cold weather at times,so nailed a heap then...When your next adventure ? . I suppose now,you are working around Mina's school holidays ? How's the hand going mate ?
@@user-fw1pt9ru5i hand's coming along good now I'm taking precautions.. cut back from 3 vids to 2 a week and switching between hands editing. Will step it back up once we return from our adventure and it's had a good break. Yes, Mina started hol's last week until Sept. We'll get away in about 10 days for about 5-6 weeks. Got a few things to do before we can get away. We should be back in town at the end of Aug to coincide with your trip here 🍺😉👍
@@NowinLao Good to hear the hand is recovering. Is surgery still on the cards?.. The trip your doing ,is going to places you have been to before? I know you have done Laos extensively,and I'd say you would be possibly be going back to Mina's home village.🍺
@@user-fw1pt9ru5i No, no and no.. 😉
Hope one day I go retire in Laos 😅
👍👍👈
You might buy a Peugeot Todd but you invest in a Toyota. Good for Neenee welcome addition to the family thay're a brilliant vehicle. Bushyboy Oz
@@ewengillies9826 Wise words Bushy 👌😉
Cheers
Do those Diesel Toyota's have DPF's in Laos?
Please tell Mina to grow faster ! We want to see her on her next bigger bicycle
Nooo! She's growing way too quick as it is 😆
Hey Todd, AUD$53,775 to $66,755 is the price range in NSW
Nearly half the price.. $70K US is $104K AU 😒
Todd did you if you lived in Phuket Thailand there is an Australian consulate office so you don’t have to go to Bangkok embassy itself
Thats an expesive car probaly hefty taxed. In thailand most expensive one is 1.8mjn thb.. wen i was in lao 1st in 2007 there where not much cars. Only big ones where the ones like the white one you have. Owned by ngo's. Ik know thing changed been back couple times since . Last in 2016 planning for to have look in november again.
Mina with the umbrella made me wonder. The ladies in the Philippines use umbrellas and skin whitening things to lighten their skin. Do they do the same in Laos? They think the whiter the skin the better. I don't agree. You did need another vehicle. Mina will be driving before you know it. 😁Yes she is your "Little Angel" 👼
They do, but not as much with the skin whitener. You'll see school children all over Laos riding bicycles to school one handed as the other is holding an umbrella.
Todd,do you renew your Stay Permit on the expiry date or before ? I always end up losing about a week as I go 1 week before expiry date. The lady at window 1 told me I can go on the day of expiry if it falls on a week day. The info on my stay permit says apply 14 days before (did this on firts renewal and lost a fortnight)they always date my new permit from the day of application not the expiry date of the old permit,the visa is also dated from the date of the stay permit application and not the date of visa application.Wondering what is your method of renewal,and do you also loose out if you apply before the expiry date.
Great videos mate
Cheers
John.
Always applied for stay permit on the week it was due for the reason you stated. This year though I applied 6 weeks early to change the date that it's due so we're not interrupted during Mina's school holidays as we'll no doubt be away on the road at that time.
I always wonder how my Hmong people in Laos can afford to buy those new cars, even used car still cost too much in Laos, more than in the U.S.
The Toyota Fortuner gr sport in Thailand 54000usd
in 9 years time there will be a huge market in replacement battery packs, remember its more like a fuel tank than an engine,. JMHO
Was shocked at spouse visa price.....then found it was $55
☺😀😂
You seam to talk about Aussie problems following the exact consumer habits or create them in lao with your wife and also the car? What a nice lifestyle, but what are you working?
@@Hangover-ry9bo what are you talking about? You know nothing of our financial situation.
Did you think Isuzu MUX
There's no way I'd buy a new car now. For over a decade, manufacturers have been adding lots of unnecessary crap (Apple connectivity, screens, extraneous items that drain the battery) that's getting harder for mechanics to fix. The EVs are at the extreme end of that, as very few mechanics are experienced with them yet.
Why don’t they just give you permanent residency
ຊື້ລົດໃໝ່ແລ້ວຂີ່ຂື້ນຖະນົນດາວອັງຄານ😁😁
EVs are disposable vehicles. They should be priced as such.
I'm surprised you can video inside a government building in Laos or did you just decide to do it anyway ?
How much for 1 Rai or Acre
