Eating & drinking in Indochina
‘Lao-lao’ = Laotian homemade rice whiskey. It costs about £1; you’ll have the best time of your life, but your head will pay in the morning.In Phnom Penh, have lunch at the Lotus Blanc Restaurant, managed by a charity that works with street children.
Vietnam has the world’s cheapest beer. Bia hoi is brewed daily and delivered to little street-corner bars in jugs – a glass can cost as little as 12p.
Try rolling your sticky rice into a ball as an “edible utensil”

People & language
Thank a Khmer: “aw-koon”
The tricky ‘s’ at the end of Laos is a source of constant debate, but we’re sticking our neck out. It’s Laos as in ‘house’ and Lao as in ‘cow’ – the Lao people live in Laos.
Gifts & shopping
Chiang Mai is the best place for lacquerware, created using the black resin of the lak tree – hence the name. The lacquer may be inlaid with gold or mother of pearl.Saoban is a fairtrade outlet in Vientiane that supports local women and sells their artisan silk and cotton products.
Look out for sought-after Kampot peppercorns in Cambodia; said to be the tastiest pepper in the world. You can buy them from markets – but taste them to ensure authenticity!
