The Communists took power in December 1975. In 1976, the Lao government banned boun bung fai because they were concerned about all that gun powder in the hands of civilians. The rains didn't arrive in 1976, and Laos had a famine. 1977 the government allowed boun bung fai again and it's been an annual event ever since. Moral of the story, don't fcuk with the sky spirits.

Hello Todd, Neenee and Mina! Enjoy the introduction to the area and Rocket Festival antics in rural Laos. The laborious effort put into the floats is impressive. Comparable to the New Year's Rose Bowl parade floats I see every year on television. Every event of significance is an opportunity to hold a festival and celebrate. A break from "everyday" life to be happy! Enjoyed the video; looks like everyone enjoyed themselves. Good show Todd with the rocket lighting!

One would presume that they've checked the airlines flight paths before launching .. 555. Seen the big mothers they used to let go in Thailand years ago they were something to behold. They also do this in Philippines. If you were living back home at present Todd you'd be used to all the mud. Nice to see the ground responding to the wet. Bushyboy Oz.

It's an event I'd like to see live even it's wet and Woodstock muddy. The fireworks reminds me when I was kid we'd buy rockets at 6p to 12d/ shilling place them in a milk bottle or a piece of pipe for launching skywards or aiming horizontally, those were the days of fun my friends.😂

@graemeaylward8313 Ай бұрын

Great rocket festival Todd and good to see that they still have the really big ones in Laos. Many villages in Thailand have banned the enormous ones due to health and safety concerns as there have been people injured and even killed in previous years. Thank you Neenee for giving us the back story of these festivals. The small rocket that you bought would still have been enough to cause you serious burns if you had held it and lit it! I forgot for a moment that you are from Australia and therefore don't celebrate Guy Fawkes night on Nov 5th as we do in England. Rockets of that size we would launch from a bottle placed in the ground or bigger ones from two staples nailed to a piece of wood sufficiently to allow the stick to slip easily up and down. I have launched many a rocket and other fireworks in my time from my back garden when my children were young, back in the UK. Love the way that Mina brought her Maths book with her. She is always so keen to learn. Long may it continue. God bless you all and keep you safe 😀❤🙏💥

Hey Brother,,, crash, boom, bang is always fun! Been blowing shit up all my life. When I was 12 my evil scientist bestie and I made our own black powder,,super easy by the,,we made bombs out of rifle shells,,like old .303 British shells,,no deaths or injury outside of singed eyebrows. Looked like fun. My personal favorite thing about this festival would have to be the hundreds of gorgeous dancing girls,,,oh,,and hanging with you guys of course. Much,much,much better river cabinx,,nice without all the crowds and the constant flow of piss water.😂😅 my niece ❤❤❤❤❤ looked kind of out of sorts to begin,,but was her usual happy self after shit was blowing up. Super glad shes cutting back on candy and stuff,,dont want her new pearly whites getting ruined. The soda pop is the absolute worst. Glad fun was had despite the mud,,take care,,Ttyl,,,Marlon

Hey Todd you may or may not remember me I asked if you could remember what episode it was that Mina had a book she was excited about and tried to explain the significance of the number 4 .......... it was the Our house in Laos & the massive homes, I wanted to show my partner it was a marathon to find it ( but well worth it ) I love the way you guys didn't forget Minas family and occasionally go back and reconnect, by the sounds of it she will be 4 3 2 1 in no time. A big thumbs up for a 100% of your videos

Yes. You did well to find it. She's done real well to progress in her class up to 4th 👌
