Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2023
- In this #vlog, I'm leaving #Vientiane and #flying to rural northern Laos - specifically, Xieng Khouang province. Here lies the town of #Phonsavan, and along with Xieng Khouang province, is one of the most heavily bombed regions of #Laos during the Secret War.
I've always been curious about this part of the country - the people, the history, and of course, the food. Let's check it out.
Don't forget to watch in 4K!

I hope your foot is healing well. Thank you for visiting Lao.
She was telling you to cook and fry the eggs before you eat it. Khao piak is my favorite. It is made with tapioca starch and flour.
I'm Laos born in United States and I've never been outside of the us or outside of WA state thanks for this cool video
You should go then. Explore! Go outside your box. You only live once. Don't be scare
Love to see more your video
Had ant eggs and sticky rice!! Luved it.
The guy getting off the flight in a suit stood out from the crowd a bit, I also enjoyed the old Jeep @4:38
Thanks for sharing your travels
I always enjoy your bolg videos.laos is a small country but look like very beautiful. explore more laos and make videos for your viewers stay well stay safe from gazipur city bangladesh
Thank you for visiting Northern lao I used to live there when I'm the little girl the weather is cold like a early spring I hope you have a great time and enjoy time when you're there hope you find all kind of Laos food to eat
good luck with your journey
Looks cold..it's cold up northern.."Kao piet seen" ..it's a good soup 🍲🍲🍲 for a cold day. Enjoy your trip
khao piak sen = wet rice noodles - is very uniquely Lao dish. im glad you enjoy the soup. Khao piak = wet rice a.ka. kanji rice porridge. But the locals will also call the noodle version khao piak for short. just make sure you are ordering the one you want. Enjoy Lao!
Viet= pho lao=kao piek 😅
thank you for your vid. your trip to Phonesavanh, XiengKhounang.things are changed so much since I left Laos 40 years go. I hope one day i will go back and explore.
That ant eggs is actually really hard to find, it's seasonal food definitely. I used to buy in beginning of 2021 costs 80,000 kip/kg. And better cook first which I used to fry and it's smell really tasty, so of course, it's delicious
Welcome to lao 🇱🇦
Excellent
สวัสดีเพื่อน ยินดีที่ได้รุ้จัก
Once I didn't know about laos.I was exploring google maps last year and suddenly found Laos.I was astonished to see that This country (laos) exist in the world. Again we(me and my dad) were highly Surprised knowing that Laos is almost our(Bangladesh🇧🇩) nearby country and we even didn't hear about this country.But, after searching and exploring about Laos,We were astonished to know that what a beautiful country Laos is!We will try to visit this country soon.
Xiengkhoung province is a nice province
❤
Love Laos
brilliant 🧑🤲
Amazing…..I left laos in 1979. Currently living in the USA 🇺🇸 since 1981. I was prolly 11-12, we fled to Thailand and made our way to United States. Through UN/ICM/WORLDRELIEF/US assistance. Been here since. Nice vlog. Subscribed already❤.
Crazy story, thanks for your support!
I don't know if that was an ant eggs. I thought ant eggs are white and I could be wrong. Love the video from the back wood of West Virginia.
🇱🇦❤️👍
A A A TFEL lesssss goooooo!!!!
I miss Laos 🇱🇦 0:31
Love your Japan series, cant wait to see more. Do you plan on going to Korea?
Yes! Not on this current trip but soon!
Hello I'm from Laos
Ant eggs are really hard to come by and in my understanding, it's seasonal so 15k doesn't seem so bad. I've had it in soup and it's really good. The lady that sold them to you was trying to tell you that you have to cook them before eating them or they won't taste good. She was telling the little boy to tell you that you have to cook them but I guess he was too shy lol
Haha amazing
She said to Fry it before you eat it or it won’t be good 😊. She was concerned for your health 🎉
@@travelfareatlocal stir fry
ສະບາຍດີ
Damn must be a northern style kaopiak bc I neva eat it with basil😅 or tomato. Lmao
Love your clips, bro! Keep them coming. I’m an American Laotian and have been to some of the locations on your trip to Laos. However, I’m not sure the stuff you ate at the market was actual ant eggs. Anyway, could you incorporate local beers on your future trips/clips? Just a suggestion!
Yea if I come across some good ones! 🍻
@@travelfareatlocal Definitely try Dark Beer Lao or Rice Wine (loh hai).
She said cook it first like fry them and it will taste good for an ant eggs.
Probably too late but the lady who sold you the ant eggs was trying to tell you that you need to cook them first.
You have to cook it
The lady selling the ant eggs is telling you to cook them before you eat them
Oh lol
at 16:10 minutes, when you bought it, she said that you do not need to eat right away, because they need to be cooked
Yea lol was good raw though
@@travelfareatlocal Yes, there are types of dishes that eat raw red ant eggs, but they need to be seasoned with spices.
She said fry ant eggs before you eat.
How do you cook ant eggs? Steamed, fried? Don't think you will find in any cook book!
Apparently not raw, is what I’ve learned from the comments lol
Lol..yes you can make an omelet or soup but most popular way to eat it is Goi...the dish is called Goi khai mot daeng (it's basically a laap version with ant eggs). But yes please cook it before you eat it 😂🤣🤣
For ant eggs, we normally add them to a fish soup or if you want to eat raw then make a goi or sah, which is another version of larb, but more sour. Well the ant eggs that we usually eat are from fire ants, so they are a combination of milky and acidic taste. I am not sure if the ones in the market are ant eggs, we usually don’t fry ant eggs, so surprised the lady told him to fry them first before eating, which suggests the eggs could be from other insects and not ants? Lol 😂
Was it hard to get around?
Not really
Hi, I'm planning to Visit Xieng Khouang. Should i fly to Luang Prabang airport or Vientiane airport to fly to xieng khouang. Which one would you Recommend me to take?
Well you only have 1 option - Vientiane. You can’t fly from Luang Prabang.
@@travelfareatlocal you can't fly to luang prabang to xieng khouang? Really.
👍✨💫🫶😎🧡🌏
You need to cook before you eat because some people have allergy to it.
Go to that market at night
You mean when it’s closed? Lol
Hahaha
I stayed at the same guest house about 10 or so years ago. And I stayed in either your room or 1 to the left or right.They were actually closed down because they were sick of tourist bullshit. The couple that own the place were still deciding as to whether to ever re open, seems they did. They had a lunatic friend ,of sorts, who was a motorbike tour leader called "muddy mick" (the worst in the history of tour leaders in asia, is the story) . Anyway I met muddy mick on day 1 in the town and he invited/haranged me to stay at his 'best friends' guesthouse. Turns out they did not only hardly know him but they let him stay because they felt sorry for him, he was happy to have a free room with no running water, and it was to be only a day or 2. However weeks later It seems he just wouldn't leave. Worse still was that he invited me ! The owners turned out to be great people, and it was a bit of an adventure. I tried to escape muddy mick early one morning by quietly packing my motorbike and fking off. Sadly he tracked me down in town.... well just sharing .😂
