    Deeply underrated city. Not necessarily because it’s packed with attractions, but the atmosphere is unmatched in the region. I’ve been to Vientiane five times since 2002 and I fall in love with it even more whenever I visit.

    It’s nice to see Laos and Cambodia finally developing. Haven’t been to either, but the entire Indochina region had a hard 20th century. Vientiane looks a pretty easy going capital, compared to the likes of Bangkok, Phnom Pehn and Ho Chi Minh city. I hope you do a food tour of the city.

    • @Lalalalala98872
      @Lalalalala98872 5 місяців тому +3

      Phnom Penh was one of the fastest growing cities in Indochina/Southeast Asia up until the Genocide and war (4 years + 10+ years) completely destroyed the momentum and urban planning that the city had going :( The Cambodian music and film industry was booming prior to the war, even screening internationally in Thailand, Singapore, and Hong Kong. Now that there's peace, Southeast Asia is rapidly advancing into this century :)))

    Vientiane has it's charm. It's pretty chill if that's what you're looking for. It's so hot during the day. People go out at night to enjoy the night markets . Some of our favorite places are Luang
    Prabang, Vang Vieng and Xiangkhoang where the Plain of Jars are located. Best time to visit Lao is January/February during their New Year. Lots of fun things to do, such the boat races
    on the Mekong River. The Water Festival, The Rockets Festival. These are just a few events around that time of year. You guys just missed it. Hope you had a great time there. A return
    visit is a must for their New Year. All the best .Mates 👍👍 Harriet, Jim and Yuki And go Chelsea !!

      @dabbleandtravel The funniest thing for me was when I went to buy a SIM card at the airport. I was quoted a price in thousands of Kip, and automatically thought that was too expensive and was going to wait to see if I could get one cheaper in town. But then I thought about it, and realised they were charging me about £1.60!! 😁

  • @jurgentreue1200
    @jurgentreue1200 5 місяців тому +1

    My wife and I are Australian. We lived in Vientiane 2007-2015. The food in Laos is amazing and the people wonderful. What Laos does well is bread, coffee and beer. That's three food groups covered.
    Naked Espresso was started by two brother, Billie and Bobbie. There's also a third brother, Kook. Billie and Bobbie are Australian university alumni, studied in Melbourne. I think there are now three Naked Espressos in Vientiane and one in Vang Vieng. The first one was away from the central business district in Rue Dongpayna and was fashioned in the Melbourne café style, and only very small. The original Naked Espresso just around the corner where we lived, so it was our 'local' café. There's a saying among the Vientiane café set. "See you naked?", meaning, I'll meet you at Naked Espresso.
    Patuxai is sometimes nick named 'Runway Number Two". It was built from 'hijacked' (some say stolen) concrete brought in to extend Vientiane airport.
    About the football shirts. Football is huge in Laos. It's not the national sport but the Lao loving playing. Most organisations, bigger businesses etc, even the services like the army and police field teams, who play among each other. Even the government ministries field teams. It's a strictly amateur/social competition. The Lao Army shirt you bought was probably made and printed for the army players and any left overs, or seconds find themselves at the markets.

    Huge fan of Beer Lao, especially the Dark Beer Lao. I think it is one of the best, or maybe the best, Beer in Asia.
