I was just in Vientiane last year and found it to be very laidback. And yes, it doesn’t even feel like a capital city to me too. More of like a mid-sized town to me.

Many people dont like this city but I like it for the chill vibe that it gives.

Can’t wait to return this year 🇱🇦

Yes it is very low key looking for being a Capital City and hopefully it will boom in the future. Nice work and it is clear the lot of research you have put in to this. Well done mate. 🤩

Lots of interesting and beautiful buildings. There seems to be places to explore and since the food is good I would enjoy visiting this small city.

Hi there! thx for showing us around in Vientiane. I'm Lao/American, been there twice in Vientiane and i think it is quite boring and not much to do. But i do love Luang Prabang!

Thanks for sharing detailed information chai ❤ about Laos 🇱🇦❤

[Leonardo-cqzd]

Another excellent, informative piece! Looking forward to the next one.

Have to say thanks for your commentaries and videos of beautiful Laos. I reckon Cambodia attracts more tourists due to its ancient temples and Hollywood movies.

How ugly the riverside has become, thanks mainly to the nasty night market buildings. In the Lao 'good ole days', we used to sit in an original wooden shack style bar on the actual riverbank, eating grilled chicken, drinking Beer Lao, draught and bottled, watching the sun go down over the Maekhong.

Thanks Champ Chai, and thanks for standing in front of one of the hotels we are looking at staying in (sadly not until 2026), safe travels :)

Very Nice to see. Next time I go make a Border Run to Vientiane. 🙏

I love Laos ❤🇱🇦. I live in the US, actually in San Francisco. California. I love the laidback, tranquil environment unlike the neighboring countries. China is everywhere in any Asian countries, but they lend a helping to Laos. They are willing to loan it to build the infrastructure, to connect to Laos such as the High Speed Train. Others countries have to foot their own bills, only the technical advices. Laos is one the poorest countries In Southeast Asia, but do you notice that there are no slums like the other countries, especially the richer countries than Laos. Hopefully, Laos will take her time to pick and choose what to build and what to do, who can invest, not just to build to attract tourism. Self sustaining is very important than depending on tourism alone. (Others) might not survive without the tourists. I am Lao (not Laotian) by the way.

You make Lao T Shirt cool 😊😊😊😊..Laos are really slow life. Not entertainment night life like in Bangkok. Night life meat Market for Tourist..lol.😅😅😅 love your video..Chai..thanks for sharing

Dank je voor een informatieve video. Ik was er in januari en vond het leuk maar wat jij zegt vooral in de avond. Ik ben gewend om 4 uur in de ochtend met werk te starten en ben je gewend om in de middag je biertje te gaan drinken dit gaat prima in thailand en ook bv in KL maar dit miste ik wel in vientianne. Maar even goed leuke locals ontmoet en daar tijd mee door gebracht. thanks. keep up the good work.

I like the city but after 3-days I ran out of things to do :)
