LAOS: I Was NOT Ready For The Dark History | Vientiane 2025

Vientiane, the capital of Laos, seems like a peaceful and charming city at first glance. But beneath the surface lies a powerful and often overlooked history. Join me as I explore the rain-soaked streets of Vientiane, uncovering the country's hidden past. In this video, I visit two of Vientiane's most significant sites: Patuxai (Victory Monument): This iconic monument, reminiscent of the Arc de Triomphe, honors those who fought for Laos's independence from France. It stands as a striking symbol of the nation's resilience and a reminder of its struggle. COPE Visitor Center: This is where the story takes a somber turn. I learn about the devastating legacy of the Secret War, where more bombs were dropped on Laos than on all of Europe during World War II. The center provides prosthetic limbs and rehabilitation for the countless victims of unexploded ordnance (UXO) that still plague the country. Video Highlights A first-hand look at the magnificent Patuxai Victory Monument. Discovering the shocking history of the Secret War in Laos. Visiting the COPE Visitor Center and understanding its vital work. Exploring the streets of Vientiane and taking refuge from a monsoon storm. Experiencing the powerful reality of a country still healing from its past. #Laos #Vientiane #TravelVlog ---------------------------------------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL💰 🍵 Buy me a Green Tea: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/walkabou...
