What You Need To Know BEFORE You Ride The LAOS CHINA RAILWAY (don't make this mistake!)

This was one of the nicest and budget friendly high speed trains I have ever taken! The Laos China Railway was inaugurated in December of 2021 and has made a HUGE impact on Laos's transportation systems. What used to be a 5hr bus ride can now be done in a 1hr train ride through the mountains (literally). But before you think about taking this railway journey, there are some things that you should know and some things are quite unexpected, so I hope you will find this video helpful in planning your trip and knowing what not to pack in your suitcase to avoid any troubles!
