Laos Wonderland (full documentary) – The Secrets of Nature (VIDEO)
Southeast Asia at its best. 85% of the country is untouched nature, widespread forests, steep mountains and wide river valleys, but also cool high plateaus and savannahs. The primeval forests support a fauna like something out of a fairy tale, with elephants, tigers, leopards, and some of the rarest animal species on the planet. Species never seen by humans are discovered at regular intervals. In recent decades, the few large mammals to be described for the first time were all found in Indochina and experts assume that most of them are at home in Laos: wild oxen such as the saola and kuprey or the truong son munjak. No outsider has ever seen a living specimen of the latter; its existence is only known indirectly, through skeletons, horns and bag that are occasionally found in remote villages. And there is the Mekong, one of the last untamed rivers on Earth. Fed by hundreds of tributaries, it is one of the richest freshwater systems on the planet, comparable only with the Congo or Amazon. This is where the Mekong catfish lives. At 3 meters long and weighing in at 300 kilograms, this monster must be the largest freshwater fish on earth.

Amazing laos
i saw a tiger about 2.5 months ago in was in sane and big to best thing i saw in laos it was on my way to Vietnam to laung prabang
I am lao people, even though the things are changing from time to time, but the humble way of living, existence traditions, cultures and arts never fading from all of us.
Educational and inspiring…thank you
Unfortunately the Mekong has been over fished & exploited, as the video says from years of past catches of up to 60 fish to just 2 or 3 a year… it says "Thailand is now considering a protection plan" I've lived in Thailand for over 20 years and know all to well that they only react when it's far too late. These measures should have been in place decades ago. Yet they are now only "considering" doing something! Earlier in the video it said no fisherman were out on the river, only a couple of boats could be seen, and who were they? Thai boats on the Thai side !! say's it all !!!
You reap what you sow!
I never thought Laos is so beautiful. Breath taking natural landscape beautiful river and wonderful caves and tunnels, Laos is full with natural beauty.
I wonder how it has changed since it was filmed and the Chinese silk road train arrived
So sad, people will kill those magnificent animals…
Something much made a change from lao so we can go visit again in again no problem right now no free country in safe yet be careful is you like to visit something got going wrong remember
Beautiful but be careful my friend remember…
nice
Laos sucks.
This was a good, but somewhat depressing documentary
אהבתי את הנוף ואת יחד ושיתוף האדם .
Bringing evil into nature. Look at all of the natural Lao structures in harmony with nature. These evil people bringing death and destruction … Demonic science. They bring "Progress," which means the destruction of nature and the enslavement of humanity. Those Lao people have no bills, no mortgages, they are not slaves to other humans named, "Boss." They were free … until those promoting Demonic evil stopped bombing and began planting seeds.
480p? Not wasting my time here.
All such documentaries end with sad note of no hope for animals and firsts. Why can't the rich nations spend money in building a big wall around such forests with electric fence and mines so no pest humans will ever enter the protected forests of animals . They are nobler than useless self destructive humans.
I live 3 hours from Laos and have been there many times. Not once have I heard the locals pronounce the s, they pronounce it Lao.
I wish the narrator would vary his cadence.
Laos land of amazing road
