okay I just got some fake Apple airpods
welcome to Vientiane, Laos. This is the capital city of Laos a very beautiful country but should
you come to the city a lot of people told me oh it's not worth coming to but I'm gonna tell you
and have a look around and see if it is worth it we have just come up to the champions of the
NTN look at this this looks beautiful if you didn't know Laos used to be a French colony
and when they got independence they made a champ elysee right here in Vientiane. I tell you what
the traffic here is a lot worse than Vang Vieng or Luang Prabang there's a lot more people in
this city I think there's a one million almost 1 million people compared to like the seven million
in the whole of Laos this is by far like the most historical kind of grand thing now I've seen in
Lao whilst we've been here but what kind of sport is it there's loads of like sellers at the bottom
and so like it kind of like takes away from like this Horror Story cool kind of thing but you know
everyone's got to make some money I tell you what as well it is so much warmer in this city than it
was in Luan Prabang and Vang Vieng I don't know if it's because we're like a lower altitude or
whatever it is but it's warm one important thing I would say if you come into fiance from bang
vieng don't take the train it's so expensive and honestly there's so much like booking fees and
stuff just take the bus there's literally like a dual carriageway which is I think the only one
in Lao so yeah take the bus it's so much cheaper right let's head back to the hotel and grab Amelia
because apparently there's a cool night market I kind of want to show you and like just see
what it's like really but one thing is all these tuk-tuks here are so expensive like there was a
15 minute walk when we dropped got dropped from the minibus um and they were charging like five
pounds 100K which I know doesn't sound a lot but like Palau that is so expensive so we just walked
because obviously we can just walk and so yeah just one thing to take an account hello we are
just on our way to the night market it's about a 15 minute walk from our hotel yeah and the night
market is based on like the Mekong River well close to it but if you close Mekong guess where
you go Thailand Thailand but we're not obviously going to Thailand tonight so that is your sign
to Thailand friendship bridge I think that's like the crossing over to Thailand the shows halao and
Thailand seem to be very good friends with their friendship bridge I like it so I think we're just
coming up to the night market now it's such a it's like a little park around here and it's so lovely
it's really peaceful actually it's so different to Thailand yeah Thailand night markets are just
hustle like bustling around but this seems really chilled out it's also very hot and I'm regretting
bringing this shirt now it does feel like quite a local market doesn't it it does it's not very busy
maybe this isn't the main market yet but then there's not a lot this is loud so this is probably
busy for now yeah true most chilled out country we've been very chilled out I don't know about
you but I want to get some food I'm actually starving I'm starving we had a little lunch
earlier when we arrived but yeah I'm so ready to eat yeah we're gonna go find the food section yeah
definitely there is so much selling going on this is like a very local market everyone's getting
really cheap clothes that 15 000 kit that's like 75p for all these different clothes here
everything was a lot more expensive wasn't it yeah there's some pretty good deals here actually
come on
I just got a beer now this honestly is one of my favorite beers it is so good and they're
really cheap now I've just got a Pepsi yeah right do you want to try the pad pad thai or
pad Lau they do look a bit different but here they go give it a little go
yeah is it good it's very nice it doesn't taste like regular Pad Thai that you'd have in Thailand
but they're still pretty good noodles I'm not sure what they are but it tastes good try it so yeah
this paddle out is I mean it's okay I don't think it really is Pablo it's just like flavored noodles
um but it's decent it's okay maybe like a six out of ten but I tell you what this bill out
is so good and this literally costs 75p which is such a good deal honestly beer and Lao is
so cheap and I've probably drunk too much of it haven't I yeah with every meal with every
meal not every meal this is practically as cheap as water so why not get one uh
we've got mango sticky rice there we go it's mango sticky rice is so good I'm Gonna Miss This when
we leave now or wherever you hung it oh good so behind me is the river and then in the distance
is actually Thailand which is so crazy like you can't really see the river right now but it's
kind of weird just knowing there's another country right there yeah but you can't yeah
you can't even see the river but the lights in the distance these ones that is Thailand
I want to explore this little theme park going on over here looks quite cool yeah
they've got like a little air going on a swing there I did see a bouncy house
so we have just found this amusement park so we might try and go down and
see if we can do something look at this place it looks awesome
I think you fancy going on
yeah it looks cool doesn't look too safe though
yeah those baskets yeah what what do you have to do it would you you throw a dart
three three Dot and three pops
everywhere okay hold this all right I'm getting three darts I think
I'll go sick I'm going to start to win a beer six starts to win a beer here we go okay
two in a row
all right I've got three more I've got three out of three here we go
ah it's my first fail one more
five hours okay I gotta be allowed five out of six I'll take that yeah
it's okay it's okay thank you that was good fun I got a five out of six
which is pretty good if I'm honest anyway that was great fun in that amusement park
um we didn't do any other other activities but yeah definitely recommend checking it out that's
probably one of the best things to do in the NTN am I right no it was good fun I feel like a
lot of this stuff is unfortunately designed for kids so I don't know if we'd fit on it but yeah
so I've been needing new earphones for a while so I just got some fake Apple airpods airpods
Pros so I'm gonna check these out and see if they're actually gonna work because I'm well
I'm sure they'll work but I'm just not sure how good they're gonna be like or how long they'll
last how long they'll last as well so we are just trying out these Apple airpods pros and
they literally come up like like a usual apple one would it's so weird like I'm these could be real
no not real but like you know like a fake reel kind of made in the same Factory kind of thing
yeah it's crazy because like your iPhone literally was treating them as real airpods like all the
systems you'd have to go through to set them up was exactly the same it's crazy it's so crazy
and this cost me just under 15 pounds so absolute bargain okay so we are heading back to our hostel
hotel now and and we'll see you in the morning when we get up to something else in Vientiane
and see whether you should come here good morning from vntn we are still in the city we are actually
leaving tonight on an overnight bus to Don debt right in the South but first we're gonna
explore this city a little bit more we're going somewhere really really cool this Cafe but with
a bit of a Twist and we'll show you once we get there here we are look a cat cafe
so we are inside this Cafe and look what we have in front of us
a massive cat it's huge but it's salted a little bit jumpy he's so cute though
he's so cute I've never seen so much fluff on a cat are you enjoying yourself yes so cute
I've just got my food and an iced cappuccino it's very good and we've
got some chicken rice which we love don't we I'm obsessed with this cat
so we have just finished off at the Cat Cafe and honestly the food is actually really good
and that ice cappuccino was very nice too and it wasn't too expensive was it no it was actually
pretty cheap and you don't have to pay to go in there you can just walk in which is so nice we're
gonna walk down to the river now and just have a look and see if we can see Thailand again um but
honestly there is like lots of different temples and museums but we don't really fancy doing them
today like we've already seen quite a few temples here in Laos so maybe if it was your first time
like first place in Lao it would be a bit more interesting but yeah we're kind of I think we're
a little bit tumbled out is Highland as well and then we've got going to Cambodia next which is
going to be full of temples as you probably know so yeah that's why we're not going to those spots
we are right next to the president's house so maybe that was the president himself with a
police escort I will tell you one thing you do find a lot here is very expensive like Porsches
and like Mercedes BMWs and then like this is quite a poor country but you have like really expensive
cars yeah and most of the cars look really new like not beaten up and old like a lot you see
in Thailand it's crazy yeah it feels very eerie and quiet around here I feel like this should
be like one of the big main parts of the city and there is no one around this big Monument it
almost feels deserted or something yeah like we're in a deserted City everyone's run away
I think that is Thailand over there let's have a little chat about the NTN and our opinions of
this city so obviously vntn is the capital of Laos and it is probably the best place to get
transport all the way around if you want to fly to another city in Lao or yeah get a bus going
south or north then this is the best place to base yourself however if I'm honest there is not loads
to do here honestly one night two nights out of push and you'll pretty much do everything there
are museums as I said and like other temples you can go to but honestly like I don't think they're
that interesting we had a look at reviews online and we've already been to quite a few
temples here in Laos so we didn't really fancy doing that ourselves so yeah if you are coming
to the NTN make sure you only do one night two nights what are your opinions of this city then
um there's a lot of nice like cafes and restaurants to visit and like it's very
chilled out you can walk around really easy like easier than anywhere in Asia basically
because there's paths everywhere there's lots of parts so it's quite a nice relaxed Vibe
but honestly I don't think you need more than a day if that here thank you so much for watching
please please hit the subscribe button it helps us to keep on traveling living the dream if you
are coming to the NTN let me know if there's anything else you should do whilst you're here
and tell others thank you so much for watching we'll see you in the next video see you later bye
