my wife is Lao, this video reminds us of how wonderful Lao food is and made us a little homesick. Thank you. The sausage is best in Luang Prabang and the papaya salad, tum (pounded) markhung (papaya) is their national dish! Thailand's version is pale in comparison.

[@siriyatiansakul8027]

That sausage in Thailand we call it Sai Oua, chili paste is Nam Prik Noom. Northern Thai food.

[@tinateews9494]

Same name in Lao, sai gaok is Lao food eaten in northern Thailand, the isaan people. Isaan was part of Laos until Thai King conquered Laos and its people back then. That's why so much Lao influence foods and culture in Thailand.

[@indykethdy5983]

Eating rice with every meal is Lao thang. As the saying goes. "Lao people are the offsprings of sticky rice (Luuk khao niew)." Northern Thailand and Isan were once called Lao states until "Thai-fication" campaign came into effect in the 1930s. Thai calls the sausage sai kok and Lao calls it sai oua.

[@Macoi24]

[@nve313641]

Hi just started following you. Love that you're exploring Asian cuisines.

[@tinateews9494]

That sausage is called sai gaok in Laos. It's Lao food and very delicious with many herbs in it. Just little history here, part of Laos was conquered by Thai King then, therefore you have all these Lao influence foods in Thailand. The Northern Thailand, isaan were once part of Laos, that's why they speak Lao. You can use chicken, duck, pork, or beef to make Laap. The laap, papaya salad and so forth are Lao national foods. If you want the real stuff, go to Laos, the origin of many delicious Lao foods.

[@Macoi24]

thank you so much for the information. I heard that Isaan region and Laos used to always go back and forth until one day government said the river is the divider. I really enjoyed that story.

[@siriyatiansakul8027]

In Thailand it is called Larb, Isan food made from pork, duck, cow, buffalo, fish, cooked or raw. Northern Thai version they dry fried larb smell so good. Bangkok version is everything must be cooked no raw food such as larb moo, larb Ped, Namtok moo.

[@Macoi24]

I had raw laab in Bangkok haha. oops

[@siriyatiansakul8027]

Max McFarlin Isan people master raw food they sure made it special for you555

[@tinateews9494]

Laos was conquered by Thai King then so land and people of Laos are now Thailand. Laap and papaya salad are Lao National Foods so you know. If you want the real deal go to Laos and you won't be disappointed. Isaan people were once part of Laod that's why you see so much Lao influence in Thailand.

[@siriyatiansakul8027]

Tina teews papaya is not native to Laos. It came from seaport of central Thailand and spread to Isan. Central Thai don’t like to eat raw fruit/food. Lao people in isan created papaya salad and fermented fish. We call it Tam Lao when fermented fish added bcos it made from raw fish. It spread to Laos.lao people know how to make fermented fish may be 1000+++ year ago already. Thai version no fermented fish but dried shrimp and peanut,less spicy, more sweet. It is called Tam Thai. Sorry for my English.
