Lao Street Food Tour in Vientiane, Laos - Laos is an amazing country for food lovers, and there’s no better way to start sampling street food than to visit a local market in Vientiane.
Khua Din Market - This is one of the most bustling morning markets in Vientiane. You’ll discover an ocean of fresh ingredients available in the parking lot before 8 am. But for cooked food, I found some of the best stalls in the tented section at the back of the market - there you’ll find a few stalls serving all things Lao food - a place to have a Lao sticky rice feast.
Sausage - 5,000 LAK ($0.60) - First at the market we stopped for a quick Luang Prabang sausage, known as sai oua. They are so good, the beef in my opinion was tastier than the beef.
For our sticky rice Lao feast throwdown, we ordered a bunch of different dishes and all ate them together. We had some stews, some jaew, sticky rice, a few grilled items, and the highlight for me was a stuffed fish. Total price - 117,000 LAK ($14.00)
Sandwich - 5,000 LAK ($0.60) - On the outside of Khua Din Market in Vientiane you’ll find a few stalls selling khao gee pate, the Laos version of French baguette sandwiches with pate and toppings. They are not the best quality, but for 5,000 kip, they are a bargain and really do taste pretty good.
Evening Cooked Food Market - For this Vientiane street food tour, in the evening we headed to Ban Anou Night Market, a peaceful evening market where you’ll find a good selection of Lao food.
Khao Piak Sen - First we had a bowl of khao piak sen. Total price - 15,000 LAK ($1.80)
Next we had some stew dishes, and an order of green papaya salad, all of which were delicious. Total price - 65,000 LAK ($7.78)
Finally to end this Lao street food tour of Vientiane, Joel and I enjoyed some wonderful dried beef. Price - 10,000 LAK ($1.20)
Thank you for watching this Lao street food tour!

Thank you to Audible for sponsoring this video. Latest audiobook I listed to was called “The Language of Food: A Linguist Reads the Menu.”
During my trip to Vientiane, we decided to take a day trip to a small village called Ban Hatkai located right on the outskirts of Phou Khao Khouay National Bio-Diversity Conservation Area in Laos. The main goal of the trip was to visit the village and especially learn about local Lao Lum food (ລາວລຸ່ມ)
It was about a 2 hour drive to get there, and we stopped a few minutes outside of Vientiane first to visit a market and buy some ingredients. But the best thing about markets is that there’s always also some pre-cooked food available - and for breakfast in Laos, that means sticky rice and grilled meat! We got some quail and grilled dried buffalo lungs, both of which were delicious.
Ban Hatkhai - Ban Hatkai is a beautiful quiet village, and we arrived to the home, a beautiful wooden Laos traditional home. She immediately got started cooking, chopping all the vegetables and herbs, and steaming the sticky rice.
Koi paa - Lao fish mixed dish - For me this was the highlight of our meal. The fish was sliced thin, flash blanched, mixed with all sorts of fresh herbs, and toasted sticky rice powder, and seasoned with fish sauce.
Jaew - Any type of Lao dip - She made both an eggplant and a tomato jaew, both of which were delicious to eat with vegetables.
The best part of this meal and Lao food experience was all of us sitting down to eat together, sitting around a colorful spread of Lao food. The food was heavy on the vegetables and herbs, nutritious, and delicious.
Again, thank you to Audible for sponsoring this video.

THIS is the Night Market to visit for Laos Street Food! ????????
If you're in Vientiane, Laos and looking for an exciting culinary adventure on a budget, be sure to visit the night street food market. For only 100,000 LAK, you can sample a wide variety of local and new foods, including traditional dishes like sticky rice and homemade pork jerky. This is the perfect opportunity for foodies to immerse themselves in the flavors and culture of Laos.
In this Laos Travel Vlog we try Laos Street Food for the first time, including plenty of Laos Traditional Food.
Street Food from Laos will really surprise you! It was so cheap and tasty, honestly I don’t think I’ve had as much value from a night market as I did in this one - and I’ve been to a LOT of them!
In this one, I went to a VERY local market and tried some Laos classics, before checking out the tourist market after.

Laotian Food Tour - POOP FISH CHILI DIP and Khao Soi in Luang Prabang, Laos!
►MAP of everything we did:
►SUBSCRIBE for 2 new videos per week:
►T-shirts and caps available now:
NOTE: Jaew Kee Pa - the best dish of the day, literally translates to Chili Poop Fish. However, I don't think there's any poop in the dip, but it mostly consisted of fish eggs. The name however, is true, and it's the dish the owner told us, if you haven't eaten it, YOU haven't been to Luang Prabang yet.
We set off in the morning to have an ultimate one day in Luang Prabang - and it turned out to indeed be one of the best days of our time in the city. Luang Prabang is a gorgeous UNESCO World Heritage city, full of culture, natural beauty and delicious food.
In this Luang Prabang food and travel guide video you’ll find all the best Lao food and things to do, that we did in this one singe fantastic day. You can see all the details in this blog post to:
Mount Phousi - Right in the heart of Luang Prabang is Mount Phousi, and it’s one of the best places to get an birds eye view of Luang Prabang, especially at sunrise. We headed off at about 6 am. Price - 10,000 LAK ($1.20)
Pho / Khao Soi Wat Sen - One of the ultimate Lao dishes to eat when you’re in Luang Prabang is khao soi, a noodle dish of wonders that’s one of the most soothing breakfast options. Just across the street from Wat Sen, or Wat Sene temple, is a local spot that’s known to serve some of the best khao soi in the city. Khao soi - 20,000 LAK ($2.39)
Saffron Coffee - There’s no better place to drink a cup of coffee in Luang Prabang than Saffron. Not only is their coffee amazing, but they source all local Luang Prabang beans from sustainable sources, normally local families that grow the beans.
Americano large - 20,000 LAK ($2.39)
Sai oua - 5,000 LAK ($0.60) per piece - Not a day goes by in Luang Prabang, Laos, that we didn’t have some sai oua, the Laotian version of an herb sausage. Her version is indeed one of the best I’ve ever had in my life.
Som Tam - Papaya Salad Restaurant - Right in the old heritage center of Luang Prabang old town is this Lao papaya salad restaurant. You’ll find a full menu of different pounded Lao foods, all of which are pretty good. Her green papaya salad was a little on the sweeter side, but her dried meats were phenomenal.
Total price- 155,000 LAK ($18.53)
Soop pak - with cashew tree leaves - Additionally, across the street we found an Aunty who was cooking soop pak, a Lao dish, this time with cashew tree leaves. It was the highlight of the meal.
Wat Xieng Thong - 20,000 LAK ($2.39) - One of the top temples to visit in Luang Prabang is Wat Xieng Thong, one of the most important temples in Laos. It’s well worth a visit, and it’s located at the end of the Luang Prabang peninsula.
Xieng Thong Phonsavahn Restaurant - This was not only the greatest meal of the day, but this was one of the best Lao food meals I had in all of Luang Prabang. It’s a gem of a restaurant, located right along the Mekong river. You’ll find Mekong river fish mixed into salads like koi pa, and a dish called jaew kee pa - a mix of chilies and fish eggs to eat with sticky rice. The owner told us, if you haven’t eaten jaew kee pa, “you haven’t been to Luang Prabang yet.” And he was so right!
Total price - 210,000 LAK ($25.10)
Luang Prabang Night Market - One of the top things to do in Luang Prabang as written everywhere is walk around the Luang Prabang night market. I have to say, it’s a great place to walk around, and the shakes are always good.
Shake - 15,000 LAK ($1.79)
This was an ultimate Lao food and things to do tour in Luang Prabang. You can see the full itinerary here:

Street Food in Luang Prabang - WILD GRILLED BEE HONEY COMB! | Morning Market Lao Food Tour!
►SUBSCRIBE for 2 new videos per week:
►T-shirts and caps available now:
Luang Prabang is an amazing historical city in Laos, and it also happens to be an amazing city for food. You’ll find an array of incredible Lao food to experience.
Morning Market - One of the best places to get started eating Lao street food in Luang Prabang is the morning market. It’s low-key, relaxing, the vendors are incredibly friendly, and there’s so much delicious food to try. From wild grilled beehive to khao piak sen noodles, the food is so good, it’s hard to ever go anywhere else when you’re in Luang Prabang. The food highlight for me was the grilled honey comb, since it was so rare and unique. Additionally, you’ll have a blast checking out all the ingredient at the market. Here’s what I ate:
Grilled beehive - 5,000 LAK ($0.60)
Mung bean cake - 5,000 LAK ($0.60) for 2
Naem
Khao gee - 5,000 LAK ($0.60) for 3
Noodle rolls - 10,000 LAK ($1.20
Khao piak sen - 15,000 LAK ($1.80) per bowl
Phosi Market - One of the biggest markets in Luang Prabang is Phosi Market. Unfortunately there wasn’t much pre-cooked food when we went there in the middle of the day, but luckily we found some amazing food.
Sai oua - Sai oua is the northern Laos version of sausage, and it’s a life-changer. This stall served some of the best sausage, not only that I’ve had in Laos, but in the world. You’ll find sai oua all over Luang Prabang. Price - 10,000 LAK ($1.20) each
Sticky rice feast - I desperately wanted a Luang Prabang sticky rice meal for lunch, so eventually after walking around a little we found the perfect spot. She had a variety of different Lao food stews to choose from and they all look great. All the dishes were delicious, but the best Lao food of the meal for me was the bowl of aw bon (or bon) - made from taro leaves.
Total price - 40,000 LAK ($4.79)
Finally, for dinner to finish off this Luang Prabang street food tour, we headed to the evening market, located perpendicular to the night market walking street. We ordered a Mekong fish and then some very interesting Lao dishes from the curry stall. The algae salad was particularly interesting and delicious.
Fish - 80,000 LAK ($9.58), farmed fish were considerably cheaper
Dinner total - 60,000 LAK ($7.18)
It was an amazing day exploring Lao street food in Luang Prabang. Luang Prabang is a food paradise.

►Laap restaurant:
Welcome to the ultimate Lao food tour of Vientiane, Laos. This was an amazing day of eating in Vientiane, and I’ll include all the details of where and what we ate below.
Khao Gee Mae Sab - First thing in the morning we met up with Joe for breakfast. He took us to a place called Khao Gee Mae Sab, specializing in baguettes with pate and other cured meats. One of the best things about this place is that they make everything they use in house. Their pan of eggs was a great way to get started on this food tour.
Total price - 66,000 LAK ($7.94)
Wat Si Saket - We also did some travet attractions within this food tour day, so after breakfast we walked around Wat Si Saket for a little while.

Tam Luang Prabang - Thanks to Joe, this is one of the best green papaya salad spots I’ve ever had in my life. The owner is from Luang Prabang, but even in Luang Prabang I didn’t have as good of salad as here. Her green banana salad was also unbelievable.
Total price - 102,000 LAK ($12.28)
Patuxai - One of the main landmarks of Vientiane is Patuxai, a war memorial, to remember the struggle for independence in Laos.
Pa Kham Tan Restaurant (more details: - Again, a huge thank you to Joe for this recommendation for laab (laap, also spelled larb sometimes in English). Laab is one of the ultimate dishes of Lao cuisine, and this restaurant serves some of the best laab I’ve ever had. I loved the bile, and the strong and colorful use of herbs.
Total price - 123,000 LAK ($14.80)
Anna Grilled Duck - For dinner we met up with new friends to eat at Anna Grilled Duck. Along with grilled duck marinated in fish sauce, the highlight of the meal was baeng pet, raw duck blood soup and toppings. It’s a delicacy in Laos, and it’s unbelievably delicious.

Thai Farm Food!! 3 HUGE VILLAGE MEALS - Unseen Thai + Lao Food on the Mekong River!!
Amazing Thai + Lao Village Food in Nakhon Phanom, Thailand!
????️ WATCH NEXT: Street Food Popeye Sausage -
Nakhon Phanom, Thailand - Located in the Isan region of Northeastern Thailand, along the mighty Mekong River, Nakhon Phanom is one of the most laid back provinces in Thailand. Today we’re in Ban Na Thon Village (บ้านนาถ่อน) and the community has gather to cook local Thai Isan / Lao food, and we’re going to learn about their amazing culture.
Really quickly - Nakhon Phanom is located along the Mekong River and is part of the Isan region of Thailand. But that being said, it’s across the river from Laos, and the people of Isan share the same culture and food from Lao.
Ban Na Thon Village (บ้านนาถ่อน) is a fantastic village, so laid back, friendly, and with a variety of homestays. We had the pleasure of spending a number of nights in this village where we did a lot of cooking and eating local food, and we also did a number of activities to learn about the local culture.
For breakfast we had a number of pounded salads with long-beans, amazing grilled chicken, and sticky rice. For lunch, which was one of the biggest meals of the day, they made a huge amount of dishes - the highlights being the “bon kob,” a pounded frog chili dip and a buffalo skin chili dip. There was also an Isan food of raw pig’s blood coagulated into a jelly. I had eaten a couple times in Laos before. It was an amazing meal and great to eat with the community.
For dinner and final meal they Aunty’s made a beautiful bowl of laap, and Isan style mixed meat salad and herbs, this time made with fish. Again, it was fantastic to learn about the culture of the amazing people and their Isan / Lao culture.

The Scariest Food In Laos? | Extreme Vientiane Street Food ????????
Today we headed off out on a bit of a street food tour here in Vientiane, the big capital city of Laos.
We started the day off at a local laab restaurant and had a classic pork laab. This was completely different to the laab we have eaten before in Isan Thailand. I have to say it was super delicious and tasted so fresh! We also had a really tasty dip that came with the meal, I'm pretty sure this included cow bile which is a super interesting ingredient, dipping the sticky rice in this was an absolute treat. Everything here came to 50k laos kip which is a great price.
We then went for a wander in Vientiane City and looked at the patouxay monument which is a really popular tourist spot here in the city. I also grabbed a ice cold coconut ice cream for 3k laos kip which really hit the spot in the 34 degree heat!
Now the next food we tried I have wanted to eat for a long time. We came to a place called Thong toum Duck Grill here in Vientiane laos.
We came here specifically to try paeng pet, grilled duck and a special lao dish consisting of fresh raw duck blood, heaps of lao herbs, cooked duck and duck organs aswell as peanuts and more!
This dish was incredible honestly such a joy to eat so many flavours going on all at once. We also had grilled duck to go with this dish and a duck fat soup with duck blood cake inside. Oh and I can't forget we got a goblet full of lao lao super strong whisky which blew our socks off!!
I finished my meal with a huge spoon of the fresh duck blood, followed by a fiery chilli dipped in Laos shrimp paste, then a big shot of lao whiskey to round it all off.
What do you think is this the Scariest Food In Laos? I think its absolutely delicious and would eat it again in a heartbeat. In total here we spent 90k laos kip and the people were very friendly.

Village Food in Laos - SPICY CHILI WOOD and AUTHENTIC KHMU FOOD in Luang Prabang!
►SUBSCRIBE for 2 new videos per week:
►T-shirts and caps available now:
►Highly recommend White Elephant Adventures:
During our trip to Luang Prabang, one of my goals was to experience authentic Laos culture. So we set off on a 2 day excursion, into the mountains, not too far from Luang Prabang. The first day we’d spend learning about the Khmu culture and eating local authentic Khmu food. The next day, we’d move onto a Hmong village to eat Hmong food.
We met up with Alex and his team from White Elephant Adventures ( This is not sponsored, I paid in full for this tour, but Alex and his team were gracious to really set us up with a custom tour about food and culture. I highly recommend them for off the beaten path, authentic culture tours in Luang Prabang.
It wasn’t too long of a drive, and we stopped at a variety of markets along the way, but we eventually made it to the Khmu village. It happened to be the village of our guide. It was a gorgeous village, by the river. For lunch we had some simple bamboo shoot mixtures wrapped in banana leaf and steamed. Khmu mainly eat sticky rice.
After lunch we walked around, took a swim in the river, and just hung out, waiting for the dinner festivities.
We purposefully didn’t really make too much of a plan, because we wanted to just see what unfolded naturally at the village. They decided to butcher a small pig for the village and for the evening festivities. They also planned a baci ceremony - a Laos ceremony of blessing, which was an amazing experience and left me feeling so incredibly welcome.
Anyway, after the afternoon swim, the men got started butchering the pig and parting off each piece of meat - serious nose to tail dining - to the person who was designated to cook each different dish. What was amazing to me is that everyone in the community had a role, and each worked diligently for the greater community.
There were so many different local Khmu Lao foods being prepared that I could hardly keep up. But one of the most interesting dishes for me was the or lam, a well know Lao Khmu dish, but this version unlike anything I had tried before. One of the single most amazing ingredient is spicy chili wood - it’s actually a vine that grows in the jungle, and it is really spicy and makes your tongue tingle.
The baci ceremony was spectacular, the meal of all things pig with the community was special, and at the end of the night the children from the village sang us a couple of songs.
It was a fantastic day, delicious authentic and fresh Lao Khmu food, and an incredible time to learn about Khmu culture, and interact with the community.
