The country with an area of 236,800 sq km, is divided into 19 provinces. The Lao population is 6.8 million people (estimated early 2009) with a population density of 27 people per sq km. Around 80% of the population live in rural and mountainous areas relying on subsistence rice farming. This small country is still home to some 49 ethnic groups whose lifestyles have remained relatively unchanged for centuries. Weather and Map The Laos climate is mainly tropical, with a seasonal monsoon and this means the weather is warm, humid and there is a lot of rain in the wet season. The average temperature is around 29°C (84°F). During the warmest months the temperature can rise to 40°C (100°F+). In cooler months the temperature often drops to 15-20°C (58-68°F) at night in lower land like Vientiane and it can drop to below freezing in the mountainous areas.

  • Thai Cuisine 1 Thai Cuisine
    Thai cuisine 1 Thai cuisine - Thai seafood curry - Kaeng phet pet yang: roast duck in red curry Thai cuisine is the national cuisine of Thailand. Blending elements of several Southeast Asian traditions, Thai cooking places emphasis on lightly prepared dishes with strong aromatic components. The spiciness of Thai cuisine is well known. As with other Asian cuisines, balance, detail and variety are of great significance to Thai chefs. Thai food is known for its balance of three to four fundamental taste senses in each dish or the overall meal: sour, sweet, salty, and bitter.[1] Influences Although popularly considered a single cuisine, Thai cuisine is more accurately described as four regional cuisines corresponding to the four main regions of the country: Northern, Northeastern (or Isan), Central, and Southern, each cuisine sharing similar foods or foods derived from those of neighboring countries and regions: Burma to the northwest, the Chinese province of Yunnan and Laos to the north, Vietnam and Cambodia to the east and Malaysia to the south of Thailand. In addition to these four regional cuisines, there is also the Thai Royal Cuisine which can trace its history back to the cosmopolitan palace cuisine of the Ayutthaya kingdom (1351–1767 CE). Its refinement, cooking techniques and use of ingredients were of great influence to the cuisine of the Central Thai plains. Thai cuisine and the culinary traditions and cuisines of Thailand's neighbors have mutually influenced one another over the course of many centuries. Regional variations tend to correlate to neighboring states (often sharing the same cultural background and ethnicity on both sides of the border) as well as climate and geography.

  • A Wonderful Dinner at Lan Xang
    A Wonderful Dinner at Lan Xang Lan Xang restaurant Lan Xang (LX) was one of the largest ancient kingdoms in Southeast Asia for almost 350 years. From the mid fourteenth to early eighteenth centuries, Lan Xang was the progenitor of modern Laotian culture. In contemporary Southwest Florida, LX is an Asian-themed restaurant serving a mixture of Laotian, Vietnamese and Chinese food. They have been open about three months. I don’t know why, but when a restaurant serves a mixture of different cuisines, it usually dilutes the quality of the foods featured. From what was sampled this was not the case. They are located in Royal Palm Square behind the Broadway Palm Dinner Theater in Fort Myers. The interior of the restaurant is simple, offering both table and booth seating. I noticed some larger tables that could accommodate eight diners and perhaps more. My dining companion had traveled extensively in Laos, and was anxious to try some of the establishment’s cuisine. The server took our order, and the service was slow. It took almost forty five minutes between when our order to be taken and served. I noticed that much of their business was take out, which distracted from the service in house. Nonetheless, there were some very interesting things on the menu representative of Laotian cuisine that we wanted to try. The first thing ordered was the tam maak hoong, or green papaya salad. Green papaya salad Although most often associated with Thai cuisine, this salad originated in Laos, and is eaten throughout Southeast Asia. It’s base is made from unripe green papaya.
