All Lao Foods list above couldn't became to Thai foods 100%. In Thailand, they have these foods all over, in restaurant, in street vender and in homemade for their families. They calleed these foods" Lao Foods ", Not "Thai foods ".
Bee Happy and enjoy our lao foods, no one can't turn our foods to thai's., beleive me.
this is the ridiculous question i ever heard. c'mon man, using thai or other international ingredients doesnt make lao food become more Thai. They are just ingredients since Lao and Thai are sharing similar cultures and tradition so it is normal that some of our ingredietns will be similar. This might be the same as in the case of Jap and korean.
Think positively! :) eventhough they don't use Lao products but people, chef, etc are Laotian.
