You’re such a great sport! I love when foreigners travel to other countries and can adapt and not afraid to ask or try weird and new things. Weird and strange things to you but their normal.
Thanks for watching 😊 yeah the locals here need it. Need as many people to come as possible when it opens up. The vaccine is being administered over here atm, they’ve started with government and medical staff. Laos is looking really strong in terms of COVID. Stay safe over there and honestly thanks for taking the time to watch my video 😊
Of course. Your videos are great. I love seeing it from a foreigner’s perspective. Keep it up! That’s good to hear, the vaccine is being opened up to everyone next week in NY. How long are you staying over there? Stay safe as well 😊
@@alexk.1405 yeah everything is heading in the right direction. I’m not exactly sure but it looks like another 4 months. Then onto the next country. No idea where yet.
I really like that you’re asking What’s this. Ahn Nee yanhg. PasaLao. Haha deelai. I’m learning, too. The ant eggs...kaiMOT...MOTkai. It usually gets cooked in stew. If you want to ask, can you eat it raw..GhinDeeep daiBoh?
It’s literally my favourite thing to do. Get to see so much Lao life. Do you have any Lao food markets in the USA? I know they won’t be quite like this but do you have access to Lao ingredients? I assume you do
Appreciate the videos... Millenials have good vibes and youre one of many who are showing the world your experiences. I wish you safe and happy travels. Peace and Love
Hello Craig. “Kai Mot” is ant lavae or ant eggs. Lao people put them in soup. The fruit is called “star apple”. In Lao language is called “mark nam nom”. And the flower you asked about is “dok cair”. Used for filling and then steamed. It has a slightly bitter taste.
At 1:57 "Lo Sip Song Phan" = 1 Kilo for 12,000 Kip. She paused between Sip (10) and Song (2). I don't think she said "Loy Sip Song Phan", which would be 110,000 = 11usd. That seems a lot.
Great video! I love exploring the markets in the morning while traveling around Southeast Asia, and am looking forward to visiting Laos for the first time later this year, which will concentrate on the north (Luang Prabang, Phongsali, Phonsavon/Plain of Jars) and experiencing the ethnic minority cultures, plus sampling the cuisine. I am really impressed with your command of Lao, and am working on learning at least some basic Lao to help break the ice with the locals. Cheers!
Wow good job on speaking Lao👏. That pile of white bean looking thing are Ant eggs (Kai mote in Lao). I believe you do have to cook it. I've seen it in soups and laap
@@Craig_Black yeah usually you have to cook it. I’ve tried it in an omelette and soups. Almost tasteless but with a good hint of creaminess! Pretty good tho 👍🏻
I've said it before but it's funny seeing all the different moods and personalities of the people running the market stands. The tired girl made me laugh. The dude at 6:12 wasn't having it...😆 And you must've butchered that word at 3:02 ow Ow OW ow oW🤣🤣
Haha yeah I love reading the personalities. It’s funny that the vibe still comes across on the camera. The tired lady was hilarious 🤣 yeah I must have said something wrong there for sure..
I think the green nobbly cucumber like thing is a bitter melon (my friend grows them here in the UK) and the round purple non passion fruit is a mangosteen. Could be wrong though........
It makes me wonder how many other Asian plants can be grown at home. I love gardening, I might bring some seeds back if that’s legal. That mangosteen thing was one of the best fruits I’ve tried. Hope you’re well 😊
Wow! I am impress on your accent on pronouncing some the names! 👍🏼 Next time, you should seek out Khon Loa who understand English. Ask them to write you a sign to take it to any small local restaurant and pay them to cook for you. Thank you for taking me on your market exploration! Safe travel and cherish the experience 🙏
Haha thank you, I just try to imitate what the locals say. That’s a really good idea! I’m going to try that! I’m glad you liked the video, it makes the time worth it 😊
so 'LOY SIP' its not Loy sip Its 'LO SIP" (LO stand for kilo) if its just only one kilo we say "LO + the price of the item" in this context. and if its more than 1 kilo in this context we say " 2 or 3 or 4......." and then add "LO' + the price if the item. Example: 2 LO sao phan kip, 5 LO ha sip phan kip. hope it helps ya xx
Just saw your video while ago and because mostly you didn't get answers to your questions I would like to explain: 0:42 those are pieces of a kind of liana called "Sa Khan", known for some foreigners as "spicy wood" (due to its tart taste), the locals especially the Luang Phabangese use them in their signature dish called "Or Lam" (the most delicious stew in Laos, browse the net for it) 0:55 Mai Phai is bamboo, and bamboo shoot is No Mai (they don't sell any bamboo in the wet market though, "no" means "sprout") 1:12 the woman said "Bou Sa Pha Ciao" means the flowers are for the altars (literally "praying to Buddha") 1:24 there are a kind of gourds (no way to know their English name) 1:30 Momordica Charantia known as "Bitter Melon/Gourd" due to its bitter taste (with minced pork+mushrooms filling and then steam cooked - delicious) 1:46 Chrysophyllum cainito known as "Milky Fruit" (browse the net for it) 1:56 "Lo Sipsong Phan" - one kilo for 12 th kip, simple (she made a short break between Sip and Song that why you were confused, sounded Losip Songphan) 3:27 You were her first klient that's why she touched her merchandises whith your banknote saying "Manh, Manh, ..." which means "successful (sales)" 4:25 the Lao cuisine bases on the fresh herbs, unlike in the more West with dried form of the herbs and spices. 4:30 Trichosanthes cucumerina known as "Snake Gourd" (steamed cooked eaten as a side dish) 4:45 Khai Mot / Red Ant eggs, cooked with Sweet Leaf Gooseberry (the leaves right next to the ant eggs) or stir fried with chicken eggs - delicious (two of the favourite dishes for Laotians), "lo Saen" means 1 kilo for 100 th kip / "Khid Sip Phan" means 1/10 kg for 10 th kip. 6:05 "Dok Khae" - with minced meat filling and then steam cooked, delicious 7:22 the eel is "Eaen" in Lao 8:18 the fish was supposed to cost 35 th kip (Samsip Ha) but she said she wanted only 33 (Au Samsip Sam Pai) 10:12 Pygoplatys auropunctatus Blöte - Horn Stink Bug known as "Maeng Khaeng" (catalogued by a Dutch guy in 1945, living on the trees), the locals grill them+chili+garlic and smash in the mortar making a dip for the sticky rice (I don't know how they can eat it, when endangered the bugs emit a chemical substance which will stick to your skin and make yellow-green unwashable for days, and the smell, see their name, I can't describe how awful it is, yet it is the most expensive bug in the wet markets) 10:17 It was definitely a young jackfruit (used for soup and stew) 12:35 you just saw a cow nostril (without the proper cow, its owner) 12:46 the pink eggs and next to them the white ones they are duck "Salted Eggs" (browse the net for them) I hop it helps.
The thing that look like wood is Sakun, they put I. Eor Lime or Luangprbang stew, it numbs your tongue. The thing ups said look like cucumber, is bitter melons, Can be used to make stirfried or soup usually they Cut about 2 inches thick and empty out the seeds. Then stuff with seasoned ground pork and make soup. Sour ants eggs you can use in egg omelette. One lady ask you Sier soy nae, it means please help me buy
Wow thank you for all that knowledge! So it numbs your tongue.. does that mean it takes the taste away? Is it used as medication by some? I’ve heard of bitter melon but never seen it before. It looks really cool. What lady was it? I’ll buy some vegetables from her when I next go shopping.
@@Craig_Black As for Sa khan the thing that look like wood. They put in there Luangprabang traditional stew name Eor Lime. It might can be used in some kind of herbal medicine but I don’t know you can ask Vone Wiew. You alrtboifjt some from her, the lady that ask you to help her buy some, she is the o e that is selling Mull Berry. Most part of Laos call Bitter Mellons= Mark Hah, but people in Luangprabang call it Mak Puck Hah. Pick just means vegetable. I just Know from your clip too that they add the work puck in between
@@Craig_Black btw you speak good lao better than me! Lol im half lao and for the most part grew up with my lao family but i can only understand it but im finally trying to learn
Hello there. You speak Lao better than anybody else that I saw on TH-cam. Bravo to you. I'm a Lao-American growing up in the midwest of the USA. Enjoy your time there buddy. Anyway, what's your name? I think Craig right? Your accent tells me that you're from Britain.
Aww thank you 😊 yeah my name is Craig.. Sometimes I say Chris when people hear Craig as “koi”. I’m loving it here, best time of my life. Yeah I was born in Scotland but grew up in England 😊 Stay safe over there and I hope you’re well. 🙏
And can you say where exactly in Luang Prabang the market is? I’ve only been to a small one near to the small walking street where the street food is at night, if that makes sense. What’s the best time to go?
Yeah that makes sense. So there’s so many in Luang Prabang for how small it is. There’s; - Naviengkham market which is the one in the video. It’s best to go at between 3/4 as that’s when all the locals bring their produce. - “Morning Market” which is a beautiful market with a mix of everything local that’s very Lao and then some stalls catered to more falang stuff like expensive teas and things like that. Best time for that one is 6:30/7 am - Phosi market which is by far the biggest and is mostly indoors. It’s almost like a supermarket as it has all sorts for daily life. Best time to go here is 11 am weekday if you want it quiet or 11 am on a weekend if you want to see it busy with local life. - Then there’s the night market which is also open during the days on weekends. *There are many more markets but these are my favourite because they are beautiful in their own ways. Also I listed them in order from my most favourite.
Craig. Ant egg, not to be consumed raw. you need to cook it first. You can make an omelette with ant eggs. The purple fruit that you bought for 2000 kip, I miss that fruit. It’s one of my favorite fruits. You Lao is getting better every day.
That prickly cucumber looking vegetable is called bitter melon and its name is very appropriate . those larva looking things are ant eggs i believe and are usually served cooked in eggs or fried rice Jack fruit looks like a huge durian but can be up to 50kg those pink eggs are from different breed of chickens I believe silky's lay pink eggs but there are several breeds that do so and as for eating the whole animal I firmly believe in that even though there is no such thing as food waste thats just a human construct something will consume every part of the animal whether it be human all the way down to bacteria ps I love market walk throughs great job on the video
I’ve never thought about the whole food waste thing like that before, that’s a really interesting argument. It’s completely right, I mean like you say if nothing eats it, bacteria will. 🤔 I wonder why they picked the durian so small, I didn’t really recognise it because it was so small.
I need 1000 but I’m debating if I should wait for a bigger audience before I start putting ads on my content. When I hit 1000 subs I get the community tab which makes it a lot easier to grow.. apparently.
@@LoganAddisMusic yeah that’s not a bad idea. That wouldn’t stop people from watching.. I think I’ll do that. Thanks again “Unofficial Official Manager” 🙏🤣
You need to write down the Lao words using phonetics when learning Thai or Lao basically the same language. Having a British accent makes it more difficult for the Lao to understand you. The word for market in Lao is Da Lot. Da Lot Cher Arai? Market name is what? At least you are making an effort to learn unlike the thousands of expats who live for years in Southeast Asia and make zero effort and later wonder why they are so miserable living there.
I was vegetarian for 10 years. I try to eat meat now but it’s been so long that I don’t like it anymore. No problem eating insects though for some reason..
Another interesting video. It forever amazes me how massively different and varied the cuisine is in the Far East. It just emphasises how bland and basic our food is in the UK

Kat mote mean ants eggs you can made sour soup or you can make eggs omelets
I really like that you’re asking What’s this. Ahn Nee yanhg. PasaLao. Haha deelai.
I’m learning, too.
The ant eggs...kaiMOT...MOTkai. It usually gets cooked in stew.
If you want to ask, can you eat it raw..GhinDeeep daiBoh?

@@Craig_Black Ant eggs is good with Omelets.
@@thorthestar7766 Yes, Ant's eggs really good with Omelets and sticky rice.
When I was in Laos 3 years ago,I enjoyed going to wet market a lot,Im Lao and grew up in USA.
It’s literally my favourite thing to do. Get to see so much Lao life. Do you have any Lao food markets in the USA? I know they won’t be quite like this but do you have access to Lao ingredients? I assume you do

How many subs do you need for monetization?
I need 1000 but I’m debating if I should wait for a bigger audience before I start putting ads on my content.
When I hit 1000 subs I get the community tab which makes it a lot easier to grow.. apparently.
@@Craig_Black I don't know much about TH-cam ads but maybe a single ad at the end of the video to start with wouldn't be too intrusive
@@LoganAddisMusic yeah that’s not a bad idea. That wouldn’t stop people from watching.. I think I’ll do that. Thanks again “Unofficial Official Manager” 🙏🤣

What is your Facebook page?
You need to write down the Lao words using phonetics when learning Thai or Lao basically the same language. Having a British accent makes it more difficult for the Lao to understand you. The word for market in Lao is Da Lot. Da Lot Cher Arai? Market name is what? At least you are making an effort to learn unlike the thousands of expats who live for years in Southeast Asia and make zero effort and later wonder why they are so miserable living there.
You can simply speak Thai to them , Thai and Lao language are mutually intelligible
He is literally speaking thai the entire time
Loi Sip is 110
Can I ask you a question Are you vegetarian?
I was vegetarian for 10 years. I try to eat meat now but it’s been so long that I don’t like it anymore. No problem eating insects though for some reason..
@@Craig_Black try introducing to your body slowly
Another interesting video. It forever amazes me how massively different and varied the cuisine is in the Far East. It just emphasises how bland and basic our food is in the UK
I used to feel personally attacked when people said our food was bland. Now I completely agree haha
