Very informative and interesting
I've lived and worked in Laos, Burma and Thailand for more than 22 years – I teach Science and English. I have lived in many different cities in all 3 countries and right now I am living in Laos, in the beautiful northern city of Luang Prabang. But in a few weeks I will move back to live permanently in south Thailand by the coast. Why am I moving from Laos? Because of the air pollution! The pollution during the 'burning season' has got worse and worse every year that although I had planned to retire here in Luang Prabang, the air pollution is so bad that my health is suffering.
After retiring in Laos for over 2 years now, I'm in agreement with your observations and conclusions. You did a good job in presenting required knowledge in a concise form.
I'm fortunate to be in good health in my late 70s, but concerns about accessing quality healthcare are shared amongst the expat community, especially those living outside Vietiane. Fortunately, Vientiane does have some very good, private outpatient clinics (with labs). There has been a feeling of improved accessibility to better quality healthcare in Vientiane since a branch of a private Bangkok hospital opened here in 2022. The buzz amongst the expat community is that the Thai hospital has brought the community a vast new array of state-of-the-art diagnostic services. Similiarly, there is a bit of a buzz surrounding the much improved quality in women's healthcare available locally.
However, folks should be aware that serious health conditions requiring critical care will find them on a plane to Bangkok or Singapore (surprisingly affordable!) to enjoy the benefits of best practices medical attention.
Unless you are in a tourist area, or in BKK & don't speak Thai, forget it, it's an absolute nightmare. My Mrs home town is 90 minutes outside BKK & no one & I mean no one speaks English.
Mumbling voice is very difficult to understand, so I stop after 5 minutes
If you get sick you will think of Thailand first.
A retired person means quite old person, need better health systems
Hey nice to meet you,I had a friend at work that was from Laos.So its been on my to do list for awhile.
Laos is 100% better than Thailand. Just go to Vietnam and enjoy your retirement.
I always refer to the C.I.A World FactBook before I travel anywhere. I don't give a furry rats ass about the cost of living and/or other matters based on needs or wants. It's life or limb as far as I'm concerned. Great video btw.

+ For Laos : PEOPLE (About 10 times more REALLY friendly than Thai) – Much less touristique
– For Laos : Even more corrupt than Thailand
+ For Thailand : Food – islands – infrastructure – health services – transportation – Offre of accomodation
– For Thailand : Immigration requests (pain in the A…)
เมืองชายทะเลเมืองไทยมีเยอะ. ไม่จำเป็นต้องไปอยู่เมืองที่มีนักท่องเที่ยวเยอะ ลองมาใช้เวลาที่เมืองไทยซักระยะก่อน. เมืองไทยสะดวก ทุกอย่าง กินอาหารเหมือนพวกเราก็คงไม่เเพงมากเกินไป เมืองไทยยินดีต้อนรับนะคะ
How do you live in Laos if you are now allowed to own land? Do you just buy condominium in order to live there?
Laos has no retirement visa so the whole discussion is futile.
Thanks, good overview. I crossed the river for a visa run from Thailand a few years ago, and Lao people were so nice. Walked up to me and started conversations. They were fluent in English, smart and well traveled.
Can you make a blog on Business visa for Laos? I wanted to run a small business in Vientiane or Luangprabang 😊
Keep singing its praises online and Laos won't be a "best kept secret" anymore but just another over-touristed, concrete & neon jungle full of misbehaving foreigners…like every place else on earth.
If you wanted to live in semi modernized society’s Thailand if you choose Laos then compared Laos to Thailand you must have brain damage Laos just emerged from so called Vietnam war because their neighbor country trying to ripen its apart again and again of cause was not Vietnam that is . Just read every things in between the lines about Laos in order to comprehend the whole issues about Laos
I enjoyed your video, but my biggest concerns are medical care/medical infrastructure; corruption; security of assets, and property interests; and stability… I think Thailand has the advantage compared to Laos when it comes to all of the above concerns… Laos Is beautiful… Serene… but because of my concerns it is not for me…
Very wise 🙂
