Highlights of Laos

Highlights of Laos

Laos provides a pleasant change of pace for travelers who are used to Thailand or Vietnam. This small Southeast Asian country has stunning scenery, from limestone mountains to dense forests and spectacular waterfalls. It’s a great place for adventuresome travelers or those who don’t mind roughing it. Some of the best places to visit in Laos can be difficult to get to, but it’s all part of the adventure of exploring a developing country known for its ethnic peoples.

Food

The staple food of Laos is steamed sticky rice known as Khao Niao in the local language. Hence, it is an integral part of not only their food but also their cultural identity.

There are two other cuisines that, when combined with Sticky Rice form the perfect national food triangle. One of them is Lard, a spicy mixture of marinated animal protein accompanied by herbs and vegetables. The other cuisine is Tam Mak Hoong or Som Tam, a spicy papaya salad.

Apart from this, there are two other cuisines that you may want to try.

Fer and Kopiak

The Lao version of the famous Vietnamese pho noodle soup, Fer is a rich broth that is made with greens, chili sauce, and a side of greens. Kopiak is another common soup with chewy noodles, garlic, and meat.

Grilled River Fish

Although landlocked, you can enjoy freshwater seafood that comes from the rivers of Lao. Usually, the fish is stuffed with many spices and covered in salt before being grilled. The fish is eaten with hands and aided by sticky rice, sauces, and lettuce wraps.
