Riding the rails: Laos 🇱🇦
Me and my friend took the long way across Laos. From the laid-back capital of Vientiane to the ancient charm of Luang Prabang, this trip was full of surprises. Along the way, we reached jungle waterfalls, visited an elephant sanctuary, and explored some of the most peaceful and untouched places we've seen in Southeast Asia. But what really made this journey unforgettable was the way we traveled. We traveled through the heart of Laos in the most unexpected way (you’ll see), and ended up in a bizarre border town that used to be a Chinese-run gambling zone. Key moments: 00:00 - Introduction to our trip to Laos. Leaving Thailand. 02:13 - Crossing into Laos. Customs formalities. 04:30 - Vientiene - the capital city of Laos 07:42 - Laos - China Railway Mission 16:30 - Boten Special Economic Zone - the former paradise of Chinese gamblers and criminals 19:52 - On the way to Luang Prabang. Taking a high-speed train. 22:34 - A short trip to Kuang Si waterfall 25:33 - Feeding an elephant 29:02 - Exploring Luang Prabang You can contribute to the production of new videos via: PayPal: [email protected] Donation Alerts: https://www.donationalerts.com/r/vaga...
