“Some things I love about the Lao culture is everyone is so kind and welcoming.”
“My first time back to Laos I was amazed at how welcoming everyone was and how delicious the authentic food is. I thought Lao food here in America was the most delicious thing ever, but then I was amazed at how much better the food in Laos was.”
“I took a road trip in Laos and took a tour of the whole country. Here are some photos of when I went to Champasak, where I have visited a few times.”
“The last time I visited, I was on crutches and wore a cast due to a fractured ankle. What would’ve been 1.5 hour, took me 3 hours to go up all those steps and get to the very top. I love the scenery up there.”
“Even though I’m from the northern region of Laos, I always go to Champasak every time I visit. Some trips, I don’t even make it to the northern regions.”
“I remember in Laos we had a pit stop in Xayaboury, and I ordered papaya salad.
It was the best papaya salad I ever had.”
“I spent years upon years trying to replicate the papaya salad and
once I got it to
nearly as good..”
“I started Mr.PadakSap.”
Bounsai’s Padak is a popular fermented fish sauce used in a lot of Lao cooking.
“Every time I go back to Laos I must visit Euy Sone’s papaya salad and grilled chicken shack. Before this pandemic, I had generally visit Laos about 4-7 times a year. I know that there’s so much more to explore and see in Laos. I can’t wait to go back once COVID-19 dies down!”
