Dunno mate I think in Australia yah learn to swim quicker when it comes to sharks or crocs chasing you but she really is a water baby its just a matter of time before your building a swimming pool out the back

Do a video on Luang Prabang!

Another superb place to visit when I come up to Lao in Oct with my son. Thanks for the vlog.😊

What a gorgeous place

Ahhhh the beginning.....🚙 The Troop .. Kenno..

I could clean that place up that would blow your mind! I just cant leave California right now! nice place!

Howdy Brother,,Im glad you're getting the wrist sorted out! I figured it was C.T. Im so incredibly proud of my niece. She works hard and she's brilliant,,very very intelligent. ❤❤❤ I think she's one of those kids,,for whom school will always be relatively easy. The restaurant is a bit fancier, but its very tasteful and it looks nice. Ive always liked that top room,,I'd like to have it as a bedroom. 😅 Now that you know whats going on with your wrist,,it gives you a starting point,,and you can set a course of action. It does suck horribly to deal with incessant pain. I feel for you bro! Ive been dealing with pain for most of my adult life,,car wreck and 2 neck surgeries left me with daily headaches,,usually mild,,but from time to time ,scorchers. And for the last 15,,ive dealt with sciatica in my lower back. Its to the point where is hard to stand and walking more than a half mile is getting tougher than ever. I had an appointment with a pain specialist last week,,and he believes that I can get some relief. We'll see,,i guess. Dad and i had a perfect trip to Yellowstone Park for a couple days. Saw some of my favorite places,,gorgeous big valleys,,mtns from 8 to 12,000 feet high. Saw 8 black bears,,coyotes,,foxes, mule deer,,one wolf,,birds of all sorts,,elk and 1000s of American Bison,,what we call buffalo,,but completely different than what are called buffalo everywhere else. I was thinking how cool it would be to show you guys around,there. I did make an effort at making a video,,both with my phone and with a canon that i have,,i think it was a fail. I couldnt seem to record sound. Lol i need my niece to show me how to make movies,,lol. Dad really enjoyed himself,caught him crying a couple times and he told me it was reminding him of Yellowstone trips him and Mom did years ago. Its only 150 miles away,,so its like a local park. Ive been there probably 60 time,,never get tired of it,,just get tired of the stupid asshole tourists. You and Neenee should look up some Yellowstone park pictures for Mina. Its the oldest National Park in the U.S. if not the world.. Do as the doc says and hopefully you can avoid the knife. Good luck Todd. Ttyl,,,Marlon

I hope thats not an Ford Ranger, thats what I drive... maybe I need to find a Troopa... Trooper lol... Absolutely love the channel!

Very nice location and scenic. Mina is more a tadpole/minnow when she swims. Sure loves the pools. Not afraid some times good. But when you and Neenee are watching fine. Stay safe healthy and take care of yourself.❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

Got to love the Sunday Arvo videos.........what lovely green and healthy looking sceneries......thanks Todd, Neenee and Mina for sharing it with us ❤

G'day mate, the accommodation is all finished at Nam Pien! its awesome defiantly on par with Nam Kat. We stayed there a couple times and all the villas have the same glass wall with private outside area's. We went in February this year and Zero water in the creeks and no waterfall but I'm sure they are flowing now.

No wonder Mina won't wear her seatbelt if Neenee won't wear one. 😂

Here in America my property tax is $ 46.00 per DAY - Not a TYPEO - LOL

A win-win for both parties on the use of that land.

The price of things sometimes stuns me, but like you said that's all the people can afford. 👍👍Mina looked like she was ready for a nap after swimming.

Hey Todd and Nina, seriously... do be careful with that piece of land! First, its obviously an area subject to flooding. That means if the land is cleared you WILL loose the soil through erosion. At a minimum you must keep, not "just a few trees", but all deep rooted vegetation, especially on sloped areas. Try and keep ALL vegetation on watercourse banks. I guarantee that if you dont you will end up in 2 or 3 years with a block of land of no use for any kind of farming, or much else. I speak from a substantial knowledge base and experience on these matters. Unless you do, your share croppers will get 2 or 3 years rent free productive use from it, and then go elsewhere. Happens all the time with high rainfall / tropical areas. Please think carefully! It will save you a lot of future angst.

Hey Todd, Hope the brace is working for you. A little TLC . Mina is like a fish. She seem so comfortable in the water. How was the fish and chips? Yummy.? Hope you guys are doing. Be Well. Jim and Harriet

i think I know where your at. You're on the way going to my partners village in thonkohai

That road is better than most roads in L.A. California! God bless for all you do!

Hi Todd, another good content from you..❤ do you spray paint to mark those trees?? We do that in philippines

Second time around for this video too.One of your best mate. The Cookie Girl. Kenno

Interesting Ostrich story,Alex reminds me of a young Steve Harley ( The late..Cockney Rebel..Make me smile song) Nam Suang,40 minutes or so from Vientiane,what a gem of a place to chill out. Bit of Croc Dundee skills there Todd..🤟.. Cheers Kenno

Lao is still full of land mine bombs from the Yank occupation.....only dickheads don't know this.

Hey, Todd! Thanks for taking us around and showing us that resort. Soon as I saw the pool, I knew Mina was gonna be swimming. Nice that you all allowed those locals to work Nene's land for a few years as well. Definitely a win win for everyone. Cheers!

I would suggest you put a ribbon around the trees you want to keep so there's no confusion and not lost in translation.

🤗🙏🏼! Always so happy to see some water, your little guppy 😅. Thank you for the video, enjoyed it. Have a great weekend.

Thanks for this trip Todd. That's a great deal for your land, and for the Hmong families who can make some money from it. It's a win win for all of you. You are right about the trees, best to keep them. That will be a great resort when they have finished the accommodation and so cheap for entry for a swim in beautiful surroundings. Mina's swimming is coming on as is Neenee's 🙂 Happy that you shared this with us. God bless you all 😀❤🙏

CONGRATULATIONS MINA!! YOU GO GIRL!! And congratulations to you and Neenee as well Todd. You have both done an AMAZING job with the little one. So give yourselves a pat on the back as well!

Thank you two… ya are good peps! God bless.

The population density in Lao is low so there are fewer people per KM to support the infrastructure which makes it harder to provide the infrastructure. Bridges must take priority over pavement. Pothole close to good bridge - okay. It cost you more in fuel cost to go pay the tax than the tax cost. 😉

hi guys

Keep as many trees as possible.

It must be in the back of all the Farmers minds that there is always a chance there may be UXO’s when clearing new unfarmed land there.

Gday mate. Love my time there in 2014.Will be back. Dazza Cape York.

Just I want to meet with some one live around frenh brifge in 4000 island. So Iwill can find my friend there .my beautiful dreem my happy . How I can meet with some one around frenh bridge . Please help me

The big fancy house is disgusting,throwing it up in the face of poor people.Maybe the earnt it,worked hard etc etc ...but man...come on !!!.In an upmarket area of a western city...fair enough......Kenno...West Aust

Awesome waterfall that one, buddy ,with all the seating in the water. The second waterfall got a bit more water in it now,since the man in his budgees went for a dip (lo).One of my favourite places you have taken us,The Bolaven Plateau. Thank you Kenno...West Aust

The rain,the eerie fog,is this Laos ? (lol)..Impressive waterfall,great place to sit on the deck,enjoying a coffee,when the weather was fine. I hope Mina doesn't learn bad habits from westerners with that Mob phone. I realize it's probably a new thing for her,but can only hope,she doesn't sit on that thing too often,only as required ........Cheers...Kenno...West Aust

Beautiful temple,I admire the way they saved some of the old timber footings from 1784 !!,remarkable ... I love the ol fashion service,at those service stations. The girls( Bowser Chicks) smartly attired.The homestay would of been a different experience for you guys,too. Cheers.....Kenno...West Aust

Geez..!!!! Serious drop of rain there mate. Good to see,you managed re-stock 🙏 Kenno ..West Aust

Majestic Red Princes Bridge, in its day,a vital link to the people that lived in that area. Kenno...West Aust

Geez !!! Serious amount of water in the Mekong in this video.I do remember( surprise surprise) in one of you previous videos,the water level much lower . Kenno....West Aust

As mentioned very nice clean village. I felt sorry for the young girl with the physical disability she was born with . Must be so so difficult, for you guys to drive away from these villages. You help so much,but you feel not enough. I'm happy in the sense now,that I am a small financial supporter. Kenno ...West Aust

Mina, very intelligent young lady. I was watching this video and thinking ,has Mina ever enjoyed the food she is eating now ,example that sweet cake. Then to see her pushing the shopping trolley, in a supermarket.The second supermarket,Escalators, Mina would enjoy.Simple to us westerners,but all new and wonderful to Mina. Look at her go on that pink set of wheels.How gorgeous !!. Kenno...West Aust

One thing I will always support you Khun Todd Hales is: 1) Your care to the little pie, Mina and 2) your benevolence action to the needy in Laos. #ToddHales2024

As we see in the future ,Mina loves the water,she would swim in a fish pond if you let her (lol).I love gardening too,the plants you acquired are awesome,as you know,cost an arm and a leg here,in Ozz Kenno...West Aust

Very poor village ,the kids look so desperate to sell anything .Lovely gesture we now observe from you guys,to get that little boy some shoes.Things here in the West,we take for granted . Can't wait to taste the Laos cuisine. Kenno..West Aust

Beautiful scenery with the dead trees in the water and water Lily's ,mountains in the background,and the thunderstorm activity. It be a an artists paradise. Check out those clouds (16:32) as you entered Taoy..........Cheers Kenno...West Aust

So Todd, you could have told the teacher "No". She was still infectious and you made excuses just to show her off on your vlog. This could have waited. shame on you! That teacher should have been fired. Chicken Pox is very infectious and yes dangerous. spreading it to other kids just to fulfill the teacher's and your ego is appalling. you then excuse it because the city has good medical facilities and you decided to keep Meena at home for another week delaying your country trip afraid the rural kids would be infected due to lack of medical facilities. Well, thanks DR. Todd!! No wonder Laos is a shit hole!! You should have known better. Is Meena vaccinated for all other viral disease? i bet not. Why didn't you get her immunized against Chicken Pox in the first place? As for her adult life. there is something called "Shingles" try reading about it. You did her and the other kids at school no favors with your arrogance, selfish actions. Same said for that negligent so-called "teacher". your paying big bucks for her education. i think your wasting your money since those educators are teaching subjects from the Middle Ages!! I've said my peace and now.. good riddance to you and your channel.

As a web developer, I got carpal tunnel years ago. Try an ergonomic keyboard. At first, you'll hate it. But, you will immediately feel less tension in the areas where you are feeling pain. That's all I use these days. No problems since .
