⚠️ AVOID The Center Of Vientiane... 🇱🇦| TRUE OPINIONS About The Capital City Of Laos

True opinions about Vientiane. Foreign tourists often experience Vientiane, the capital of Laos, as a serene and laid-back destination, distinct from the bustling capitals of neighboring South East Asian countries. The slower pace allows tourists to immerse themselves in the local culture and enjoy a more relaxed travel experience. But what do people really think of this capital city?

My wife's family still lives in Vientiane and we visit every few years. It's very peaceful and most are friendly. When visiting you have to slow down and enjoy its much slower pace of life.

Nice place. LAOS is emerging very well. So many foreign tourists there. They are so blessed.

[martinsnoeimeester]

Used to live there for a year between locals the most lovely place and most lovely i will never forget them

[briancostello]

We arrive in Laos in a few weeks. Just found your channel and really appreciate how you’re asking solid questions and getting raw answers from a very diverse range of people. Thank, keep up the great work

[HealingWithHammond]

I've been thinking of moving to Laos Capital for a year . Great to watch

[shanazci]

Having lived in Savannakhet before, stopping by Vientiane before heading home in between work was luxury thing, somehow. I miss Laos.

[muhammadali]

Nice interview chai, hope to see more upcoming vlogs❤

[stevens]

Nice work as always champ. Lets hope it and other videos are rewarded with better subbie support with views, thumbs up and comments. I am surprised that the numbers are fairly low especially the last video when you went out and about amongst it all where very few tourists venture. I thought that was brilliant, great viewing. 🤩

[joyyyy]

Great journey great experience. Keep up the great work.

[antruok]

Seems like a curious place and pretty relaxed 👍 - the lady from New York has a big heart - Nice work my friend 😎✌️👋🙏

Having lived in both Vientiane and Bangkok, I've found Vientiane to be a more enjoyable and affordable city. The cost of living is significantly lower, especially when it comes to social activities.

The Lao people are incredibly welcoming, as long as you respect their customs and traditions. This simply means showing respect to authority figures, elders, and women. Avoid public displays of affection, anger, and inappropriate attire. While certain behaviors might be acceptable in in other countries, it's best to avoid them in public in Laos.

Remember, Laos is a different culture, so patience and humility are key. Avoid coming to Laos solely for "casual relationships". Instead, enjoy the local culture, sort out your visa, or potentially settle down with a local. However, be aware that the marriage process can be complex. If you choose to settle with a local, be prepared to contribute to family responsibilities to some extent.

The concepts of love and support/duty are one and the same here.

Finally, when interacting with authorities, maintain a calm demeanor. Informal practices like gift-giving or treating officials to a meal can be helpful in maintaining positive relationships.

Thumbs up 👍 Champ……Not a lot to do but fun

[khayri]

Chai, I went to Laos on my SE journey back in July and Laos was my first country to visit. I say Vientiane is cool and peaceful. Met some locals and foreigners that lived there made my experience better. I will always recommend people to come here. You should go to moonlight lounge nice little lounge and a great place to meet people to interview.

FYI Prices are not cheaper In Vientiane compared to Thailand

[richardmartel]

Can't believe you bumped into Walter the "teacher" lost in Laos.

[BreakawayBites]

Though hailing from Singapore I haven't been to Laos yet, but i would like to make a trip there. Would like to visit all the South East Asian countries, Only did half of them, so probably Laos or Vietnam is next. Cheers mate! Keep up the grind.

[pepeee]

Hi Chai, could you try go to Golden Triangle in Laos making some interviews there?

[OrganicFaithFactory]

How it can be cheaper, except for beers and wine, almost everything are imported from Thailand

[Zenithino]

Peaceful, but expensive. Laos imports almost everything.

[MyLifeThai]

VERY interesting people you interviewed this time. I learned a lot. In Thailand people seem to eat like rabbits. In Cambodia the locals eat western food. What type of food do the Laos people eat?
