I always thought Laab was Lao/Thai/northern...ish. not surprised it carries on through to Burma and beyond. Many of the key words in the languages also blend through there as well. Great video.

@kao6245 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for Koh Phayam and Koh Chang series. I'm Thai, who prefers finding inspiration and an interesting perspective through foreigners' travel vlogs. I'm planning to visit these islands next month. It's so generous of you sharing this sorta up to date exp. Btw, I'd like to share about "Laab" or Larb or Laap, the spicy minced meat (can be pork, chicken, duck, beef, fish, etc.) mixed with herbs. The origin of this menu is from Lao culture, I guess. Laab is a common dish in Laos and Thailand's north and northeast with a slight difference in ingredient and taste. In the North and Northeat, we eat Laab with sticky rice. Laab you ate is Laab Isan (the northeastern recipe) which can be found every corner in my hometown as same as Somtam, Nam-Tok, Sok-Lek, Goy. I'm blank about Laab + Myanmese tho. 😅

Start a RU-vid channel and make it your job so you're always researching the next place to visit/ booking hotel rooms and flights etc., read books, try and learn the local language to some extent or possibly ask yourself why even travel if you can't handle being alone.

@jaymeez 8 месяцев назад

I purchased several water shoes in the past, most recent one back in 2012. I didn’t like any of them. They felt weird and were uncomfortable. But I have seen some nice looking water shoes now that had decent tread on them and you can go from walking the streets, to the sand, and into the water with them. I’m gonna buy a pair before my next trip and report back. Body Glove makes the one I saw. When you get out of the ocean the water escapes out of the shoes through holes

Yup it's a shrimp!! As a chef I call it a head-on shrimp. All the actual shrimp flavour is in the shell and head so many people especially Asians love to suck the juices out of the head! It's weird for North Americans but it is so tasty!! In French cooking we use crab, lobster or shrimp shells to make a soup called Bisque that is primarily flavoured with the shells. Happy Travels

It depends on lots of factors, especially the location and the weather. I went swimming at one place on Ko Tao yesterday when it was sunny, the water was calm and clear. Went to the exact same spot today and the water was rougher and murkier.
