I wouldn’t say no flies but a dam sight less. I think it’s all about waste management and the underground pipes they both breed flies. Thailand is far more advanced in these things than Laos to put it mildly.

Love your vids Richy, you provide plenty of info, not everybody does. I'm 60 & retired last week, l've worked for £ & never enjoyed anything l've done so now l am going to spend that £ on travelling. L666ds will go up & stay up if they back the coach, my bantams are more likely to end up in the national league.

Morning, Richy! I'm sure your feet are thanking you for not walking it today 😅 back into Thailand we go. I was glad to hear you explain the visa rules for you into Thailand, as I didn't understand how you can keep going back in. But basically another 60 days until a new adventure - but then you can't come back for a while? 🤔 I laughed at the green paint in and around the bus terminal to match the bus colour?! I bet you were the only customer in that duty free store. Expensive chocolate!! Well, at least they didn't tell you that you could walk across again like last time. Bus ride much more comfy than the sardine packed trip into Laos. I guess those ATMs ensure people spend a certain amount into the local economy with the only option to withdraw $10,000 Baht. Is that a new scam? 🤔 Mate, they gave you ALL of their chillies in that dish! Glad you liked it hot! 🥵
@ParkinsonRaw
@ParkinsonRaw 3 ай бұрын
Morning Greg, yes my feet were definitely thanking me💯🤣. Another free 30 days and then I can extend for 30. After that I have to leave but I can come back as soon as I like but only by air for the rest of the calendar year, no more land crossings. I will be heading off for a few longer adventures. Last year I went to Cambodia for a month, Vietnam for five weeks where I went from the deep South right up to the Chinese border. Also two trips to Malaysia which were shorter. They’re all in my playlists. I shouldn’t of lost my temper with that bus driver who ignored me, it’s not like me it was a tiring last few days. They do like the colourings in the terminal. The duty free store was expensive mate. The ATM’s I suppose you could call it a scam if you were just doing a quick crossing back into Laos you wouldn’t be too happy. The papaya salad I got I dropped the ball, it’s already a very hot dish and I asked for it phet phet (more spicy). Fair to say I paid for that over the next few days🤣, it’s great to be back though.

Thousands of people cross into Thailand from Laos every day, they all go past the passport check then straight ahead for 20 meters to where it's obvious that people are waiting for the bus to cross the bridge, out of the many hundreds a day only one manages to get lost.

To be honest I try and keep my personal life out of this. I don’t plan on returning but I do want to pop back and see family now and then. I was a ground worker and I’m 48. I come to Asia because I love Thailand I’ve been before and I wanted to visit more places. I’m single, I like to travel to much to have a relationship. Life’s too short and I was living to work back in the UK.

You think travelling in and out of Loas is a headache on foot, you want to do it in a car. I've travelled to Laos many times (by foot and by car) and to be honest I really like the country, but I always question myself is it worth the hassle at the border crossing. Now if I go I fly, as the officials at the airports are not on the thieve all the time, which makes the visit more enjoyable.

I do things differently than you Richy. For instance when talking to orientals, I take my sunglassesoff! And I am clean shaven. What do you have a beard or designer stubble? You will be treated better if you are clean shaven and NOT wearing sunglasses. I never say prick mac mac. I say prick nig noe, and if it is not spicy enough, spice will be on the table to add anyway. When I cross the border from Thailand I alway take a few thousand Thai baht in small notes. That way I do not have to go hunting for Thai baht when I return. You seem to have a good place to stay, but 12 dollars a night is not cheap. I have had better places near the river. I first went to Thailand in 1988. Another thing I never book using a card paying up front. You are just giving them the opportunity to scam you. What happened with the overcharge at the hostel in Vientiene - you get it back? I look forward to your further adventures Ricky, or maybe I should write, your further sufferings 😅

Being clean shaven is a personal thing, I don’t think anybody has the right to expect of other than to be polite. That’s my opinion and everybody should have one. Stayed in a hotel down the river when I was last here, the mosquito’s were a nightmare. The vast majority of times I pay by booking.com, I have total control via an app the tells me if somebody wants money off my card. If I don’t answer and they pay, I’m protected that’s only reason I don’t mind doing that. The cash machines were simple. They’re right there when you enter Nong Khai, I got cash straight away.

@ParkinsonRaw Even so they took an extra payment didn't they? And it seems they kept it. Anyway carry on, ignore anyone. You know best . . . Another bit of advice, which you might ignore. When you were in the backpackers hostel and unable to sleep due to the heat, l would have taken my mattress out on the balcony and slept there. The Thais would not have objected. How could they?

@ParkinsonRaw 3 ай бұрын
@PeterBren they did take extra money. There was a sign on the visa window saying times when they were out of hours you had to pay extra. The hours were ridiculous, obvious tax but there was no way around it unless you get there at the stupid times. I can’t sleep outside the mosquito’s love me. Good tip though I’ve seen people do it

Enjoy your videos Richy, but I was just wondering whether you could please confirm what money you had to spend at the Thai immigration to leave and then at Lao immigration to come back? Not talking about busses etc, just the set immigration cost (I'm trying to compare it to spending 1900baht getting a 30 day extension instead of a border run). Thanks!
