Past so if you guys, want to learn more about vietnam you can hit the cards at
Any, time during
This, video but for this video considering we're talking about laos for the first time if this video actually gets three thousand
Likes, we will actually do a, whole 10 minute video dedicated to the greatness of laos so if you guys
Want to see that hit that like button but
Anyways let's get started
And let's look at the facts and compare these two great nations so let's start off with the socialist republic of vietnam
Which is located in the eastern part of the indochina peninsula now it is home to approximately
94 million five hundred and sixty nine thousand people ranking
14th in the world as of its
2016 estimate now its population density ranks 46 with two hundred and seventy six point zero three people per square kilometer
Now vietnam is one of the biggest countries in the indochina peninsula
Making up a land size of three hundred and thirty one thousand two hundred and thirty point eight kilometers square now
This, makes its country in land size ranked
65th in the world with a, total water percentage of approximately six point four now as for the liao's people
Democratic republic, which it's
Also known as its colloquial name mine law it is a landlocked country and is the heart of the indochina peninsula
To, date its estimated population sits at approximately six million seven hundred
and fifty-eight thousand people
Ranking one hundred and fourth in the world now it's population density is a lot smaller with twenty six point seven people per square
Kilometre ranking one hundred and seventy seventh now of this louse is actually just a little bit smaller than vietnam
With a land size of two hundred and thirty seven thousand nine hundred and fifty-five kilometers square
ranking eighty
Second in the world now when we actually compare these nations and i keep in mind guys it's just for fun
We also got a look at the economy of these two countries and for that in vietnam they use the vietnamese dung
Which one us dollar equals twenty two thousand six hundred and seventy five point seven for b and ds keep in mind guys
That's just an approximate number because dollar values go up and down throughout the year consistently but now looking at laos
They, call, their currency the lao kip and for them one us dollar equals approximately eight thousand. Three hundred, thirty, three dollars and 33
Cents now of course comparing the dollar doesn't really mean a lot of stuff one thing that
We should look at is the purchasing power of parity when it comes to its gdp, and the
Purchasing power is the best way to actually compare nations for example in vietnam its
Gdp, sits at six hundred forty eight point two four three billion dollars ranking 65th in the world with a gdp
Per capita of six thousand nine hundred and twenty five dollars per person now of that's its exports set at twenty fourth
Being one hundred and eighty, five billion dollars in goods and the top exports of that are 16% broadcasting equipment
Five point eight percent of that being integrated circuits at
Three point four percent of that being leather footwear
Now as for its imports it sits at twenty seventh in the world being one hundred seventy billion and the top
Imports our integrated circuits at six point six six point two percent being telephones and two point four percent being refined petroleum
Now for laos when it comes to their gdp, they sit at forty four point six thirty nine billion dollars as of a
2017 estimate and its exports according to
2016 stats
Sit at three point one five billion dollars being eighty first in the world with thirty percent of that being copper or eleven percent of?
That being refined petroleum
And five point three percent of that being recording equipment now for imports things are a little balanced because their imports sit at
Three point eight seven billion dollars being ninetieth in the world now their top imports are 14% petroleum 8.2%
Being cars and 5.4% being broadcasting equipment so now we've compared the two when it comes to their currency
And when it comes to their land, size but what
would it be like if you actually moved from one country to another now for living expenses the cost of living in vietnam
compared to laos
Means that food is approximately 48 percent cheaper
Housing, is approximately 65 percent cheaper clothes is approximately 32 percent cheaper
Transportation is 44 percent cheaper
Personal care is 25 percent cheaper and entertainment being 29 percent cheaper in total in vietnam it would actually cost you
50% less to live in that country than it would be in laos
Now of course living expenses might be more in one country versus, another but you should, also look at the country as a
whole and one thing
We should definitely look at is national debt because for vietnam their national debt sits at
approximately one hundred two point four six billion dollars as of
2014 and for laos they actually sit at nine point zero seven six billion dollars as of a
2016 status but either, way guys, that is us just looking at these two countries and if you guys really liked
