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.

I’m also Laos , Laos food is so delicious who else agrees?
Laotian food is so comforting. Thank you for visiting Laos, Mark! This is so sincere and professional. You ate Lao food for Lao food, I am impressed you did not compare it to Thai food. So professional! Everything looked delicious.
Joel fun line "I have no wife" I love it.
I feel at home just looking at her prepare the meal. Looks so cool.
Beautiful country and very friendly humans.
I’m half Laotian and I grew up eating my grandmas food, she always told me how Laos was and how she wants to take me to visit one day. I’m so happy to watch this video it makes me more excited to go visit!
I agree mark, that house is beautiful! And it did look very peaceful in that area.
Laos is my dream destination. I love the food and the culture. Thank you for taking us along!!! Blessings to you and your gorgeous family🙏🏽
@tawan c No we don't. Idiot.
@@bounna1557 But Laos sell dogs to Vietnam .
@@slobodanmarkovic4079 no.
No, Laotians don't eat dogs. That is one of the religious sins in our culture that prohibits us to eat certain animals. Vietnamese ppl who lived there and have their own villages around there mostly do sell and eat dogs. Not all Asians eat what others eat. Thank you
tawan c racist bro so your assuming people by race that all Asians eat dogs. Not all Asians eats dog so gtfoh bruh
Hello Mark,
I wish nothing but the best to you, your wife, your beautiful son and extended families.
I myself am not able to travel. Your video's make me feel like i am right there with you guys.
I have the same love of food as you do (well close anyway) and believe your video's are among the the best i have ever seen.
Keep up your great work Mark.
Peace and love,
Dale
from Canada
Mark you are the ambassador for the world. I have learned a lot about other cultures because of your videos.
My family of three watch you Everytime Marc. We are a little Samoan family in San Diego. Our daughter is 5yrs old and loves Maika. Thanks for showing us the beauties of the world and the reading material. "Language of Foods". Alofa atu. God bless.
it's really nice watching your vids. Growing up as a Laotian in California, my parents always stuck to their traditions. I grew up eating the foods in this vids, and these dishes are actually my mom's favorites. That lady also reminds me of my mother too. My family eat the same way in this video too...on the floor, although we had a dinner table.
Kev. Im lao born in IL but moved to WI, ive been making sticking rice and haew since i was 12 and my moms like “ pen yang mak gin phet thon sao” lol my go too whenever i feel home sick to moms cooking. My dad usually makes fish and laarb pa

I just had meal 20 minutes ago but I'm hungry again.
* SIDE EFFECT of Mark Videos 😁
Mark, I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart. My mom is from Laos. These videos help me understand the culture my mom came from! Food has always been a difficult topic for me, especially since I cannot eat spicy food! I feel more connected whenever I watch your videos!
Healthiest meal ever! Thank you Mark because it's beautiful knowing different cultures and beautiful people around the world!
I enjoyed your video brother. I’m Lao been living in USA 🇺🇸 since 1980. I went back to visit twice. looking forward to go back again 👍👍✌️✌️🙏🙏
What an awesome Laotian feast. So fresh and wholesome. What a nice family to let you in their home and cook for you.
Audible is a godsend for travelling, really glad they decided to support you through sponsoring!
Oh yeah....it’s good to be Laotian, best food ever. Thank you for sharing! 😎👍🏻🇱🇦
The special thing of this video is you can see how Lao people cooks, the foods look simple, but a lot of small herbs mixed in them, Fantastic experience
From one side of the world to the other side. All for food. That's why I love Mark's channel.
I really appreciate the transparency and genuineness of your videos. Even with a paid promotion you come off as sincere! Awesome video, thanks.
Kimchi Mama I agree !😊
He has to be transparant about it by law.
McChopper 2000 I think she was implying that Mark doesn’t sound fake about his sponsors. Some people come off extremely fake or as if they don’t use the product themselves, just trying to make a profit only. Mark seemed like he legitimately enjoyed this sponsor and even referenced his last audio book.
It's not just transparency, It's honesty
But why so robotic to drink coffee? I am confused.
I enjoy watching you and the food you explore. Love learning the different traditions people prepare meals in other countries. I am so intrigued with the lady preparing all those meals. So authentic, amazing and humble. 5 stars for this video. FYI I'm addicted to watching your videos, look forward to it everyday. Its a bit of a relaxing thing for me. You have a wonderful family and my husband and I love how down to earth and genuine you are. Thanks Mark Weins, need more people like you. 🙏
This reminders me of my mom. I’m so blessed to have traditional Laos food at home everyday! ❤️
Mark's eating and diet habit is enjoying foods with well balance. Sticky rice with lots of veggies. More importantly, walk around after meals 😋👍👍👍👍 big thanks.
Thanks Larry!
Starting with a Coffee. Proud of you Mark
My neighbors are from Laos. I always love being invited over for dinner. 🥰
I cannot wait to get to that part of the world and experience not only the food, but the culture and the people. But I commend you for your bravery as I cannot bring myself to eat any kind of ‘filtering’ organ ( lungs, kidneys, liver, heart, intestines) but I thank you for the love and respect that you have for the people of Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam… it shows in all of your videos from there. God continue to bless you and your family abundantly. 🙏
Fantastic Video Mark !!! Thank You To You & Wife & Micah! Take Care And All The Best !
Not only Salivating but Your contents are a TRUE blessing ! This gave me more of a personal glimpse of life of the people of my roots and couldn't help but laugh cause understanding the language is so natural to me and seeing it else where is crazy. I'm Canadian born, so my background is alot of wonders for me! Thank you Mark!
Very cool to hear that, thank you for watching.
Love how you and your wife are bringing Micah in all your travels. It was so cute how he thanked the lady, or Said bye so cute.
Hey Mark! I loved the village cooking video you posted from Mexico and I'm so glad you posted on in Lao as well! Everything looks so vibrant and delicious. Keep making these type of videos whenever possible 👌
Mark, your positive energy and enthusiasm is infectious 😊 you’re also very respectful of other cultures. One of the best food travel reviewers on CZcams 💯!
I love to travel. But with your channel, I travel with you! Thanks again for your great work and videos!!
Jeff Ward we can engaged with each other ... visit n s u b s c r ibe my c h a nn el & videos... I did it for your cha nn el
yes Jeff. When I was a young man I traveled much. Most of Europe, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Costa Rica, Mexico, etc,, but yes...now I have a family, and responsibilities(ickkk dirty word!) and can no longer do it. I loved it and learned more then I would ever learn in a class. I learned that people are the same people no matter where you go.
Thanks Jeff!
Yes! It really feels that way! ❤🌍
Jeff Ward yes sharing same emotion too:)
Mark, you show respect for the people, their food and their customs. It is more than for. It is an introduction into their lives..
Absolutely wonderful,
I like how you're not picky when it comes to food, you are a survivor. Thumbs up for trying out the Lao traditional food, sitting on the floor and eating off the Pa Kao much respect👏👍
Micah is going to have his own food channel when he is 14 years old and he would have learned where all the best foods are from his professional eating dad! I'm just wondering what his facial expressions will be, hmm, like father like son maybe? 💙 💙
Mark i always watch your videos while eating , i have never missed a single video of yours. You're an institution for me. I am also a food Blogger and learning from you each and every day i just want to thank you for the blessings you're giving us all. LOVE AND RESPECT FROM PAKISTAN 💕💕

Huge thank you Madiha, really appreciate your kind words. And keep it up with your food blogging as well.
Mark Wiens oh my God thank you for your reply i am feeling like flying in the sky. My love and respect for you and your work has doubled. Thank you for everything 💕 i will remember your words and will work hard. But i am nothing about Mark Weins !!
Mark, I had never seen an actual village before. I have worked in the Laotian community in Philadelphia; they have told me about the mountains and villages, until now I could only imagine. Thank You!
Im hmong and my grandpa is laotian. I love his lao style laab and tamarind pompano fish dish..but sad that he's no longer with us😥 miss him so much..
Wow looks great there , we live just 30 minutes away from Laos have to go there and check out the local Markets and Food too , love to mix in with the Locals too , thx Mark
Cultural feast from Laos amazing and mouth watering.Must visit this place.
I am a Malaysian. Love Laos, went there many times, and enjoyed food prepared by locals with the same appreciation, super appetising!!! Only one difference, I dont see the use of ajinomoto, this lady must have converted to use less or no ajinomoto.
Thank you for showing our beautiful country once again, I used to lived right at downtown Vientiane and homesick.
She looks super talented ....her way of cooking is just awesome #tradition... #love cooking
Gotta love a new video every Sunday morning. As long as I've eaten before I watch it.
PHIL-yes-PL
This is probably my favorite. Simple buts it stays with you. I could taste the flavors bursting while watching this .man I really love you and your family. You guys are good people this pretty lady cooks with a lot of passion and love .I enjoyed seeing the arrangements and colors .nuff love to you all .from Jamaica. 😎😎😎
Well said Jeff, that's exactly how feel, I really enjoy the diverse culture you bring to us Mark.
And this meal in the village looked stunning with the colour, fresh ingredients, the traditional way lady made it.
Keep up the good work.
She's an amazing cook.
Yet another awesome video! Thank you for sharing. The lady at the morning 1:48 made me smile when said in Lao "I am on camera."
Is always nice to see my mom homeland. Thanks for all the food tour. You are so awesome Mark. Many blessing to you and your family whever you maybe heading to.
Lao is a peaceful country, people are kind-hearted and hospitable
Love how they live so simply and can make the most fresh delicious meals
18:30 😂😂 You should go back to Thailand and tell your Wife to cook like this.
“I have no wife”
Granturismo hahahahahhahahahaha
Granturismo funniest thing ever lol
omg i heard this and looked in the comments right away to see if anyone else caught that 😂
I was there last week. I really liked it. Will definitely go back again. It’s laidback, it’s relaxing, the people are friendly, the food is great. Not sure what more is needed. Great job Vientiane!
Lol I like how the cook smiles slightly while ol' boy is moaning and loving her food. I get so much joy from seeing and hearing people enjoy the food I cook.
Lao food is soooooooo amazing!!! It's so flavorful and super spicy! There are so many herbs and spices used for seasoning. I love that it's so fresh! There's this Thai restaurant in LA called Night+Market Song and they have Lao food on their menu. My mouth is salivating watching you eat all that!!!
I love the beautiful Laotian lady that cooked that traditional meal for you.
I loved the food in Laos, the people, the culture and the landscape. Beautiful. I need to go back
Another superb clip from Mark Wiens - I love the house: spotlessly clean. And the hostess created that banquet in no time.

Fresh, healthy meal. Village looks peaceful. Thanks Mark. You take us to all these destinations and wet our appetite. Encouraging us to visit, or to learn other cultures and way of life. Also we learn to prepare meals in a different way. Thanks again.
Mark talking about nonfiction books and reading is making me love him more. Wow. Well-travelled and well-read. The wife is so lucky
I love the drone shots!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the reasons why there is so much depth of flavor in these dishes is because it was cooked with wood. It has a signature that can't be replicated with charcoal fire or gas flame.
Hello, i am a Lao women. I am abit curious about your comments. As your comment, have you tried the food which cooked by wood? It is the traditional and unique taste!
You could not be more wrong most of the food was cooked by a bowl of water and flavored inside
Of course the wood can make the difference...But lao food is unique because they used a lot of fresh vegetable. Ingredient made the difference.
The food looks very vibrant and beautiful. I imagine that it tastes even better.
Let’s all hope and pray that these cultures featured in your vlogs are passed on to the next generations to last forever!
I've been watching all of your travel for food videos for quite sometime now and it's definitely awesome. Makes me feel hungry every single time! Great videos Mark and Ying 😊 i wanna say hi to Maica as well 😊 hello from the Philippines to your family 🌴🌞🌴
Wow, that meals looked delicious. Mouth watering.
I'm not Laotion but my parents are from Laos and my mom cooks all those food in this video! The mushy eggplant dish is definitely my favorite. It tastes especially good when it's spicyyy!
I love all your video and rewatch it several times because of the beautiful country n food.
Your vlogs are so Awesome, I love how descriptive and passionate you are with the meals, I noticed that when you eat something and tilt your head and give a hearty, "Oh", that was an delicious bite, keep up the great work.
Frank Guzman The famous head dip, it’s been his trademark from the beginning. If anything he’s reigned it in a bit over time!
Love the fact that mark is at laos. Great to see more people visit the country I’m from. A lot of people don’t know what it is. 🇱🇦 btw Laotian is pronounced (lay ocean).Great vid though mark keep up the great work!
I think this was my favorite video. I love the family environment. That home is beautiful. Even thogh it is open air it is so clean and beautiful. All those vegetables and the fish! They are all so polite and friendly. I would love to visit them and cook with her. Thank you so much.
You are real, genuine smile and very kind, down to earth man, you reminded me of my dad which he knows how well to talk to different people I mean on how to talk with their level from poor, rich and the like, in all of your videos. A very big 👍🏻 I liked “If it’s not spicy🌶🌶🌶I’m not eating
I love this guy he's so positive
Hes negative
Laos! Yay!!!! Everything looks great, Mark!
I'm glad that you enjoy it ^_^
