Welcome to the first episode of my 3-part Laos series! In this video, we’re diving deep into the incredible food scene of Luang Prabang—from delicious street food to luxury dining at a 5-star hotel. 🇱🇦 🍽️
Here’s what’s on the menu:
Morning Market Adventures – We start the day with a classic Lao street food breakfast of banh cuon (steamed rice rolls) and take a stroll through the bustling market, picking up ingredients for a special cooking lesson.
🔥 Cooking Lao Cuisine – With our fresh market finds, we learn to make:
🥘 Or Lum – a rich, hearty Lao stew
🦆 Duck Laab – a flavorful minced meat salad
🐟 Lon Som – a rare dish using fermented fish eggs from Luang Prabang
🍽️ Luxury Dining at Avani+ Hotel – We indulge in a chef-prepared feast at the Avani+ Hotel, crafted by Chef Cherd—a fine-dining experience showcasing the best of Lao flavors.
🚤 Sunset River Cruise – We end the day with a breathtaking sunset boat ride along the Mekong, tasting traditional Luang Prabang river weed, a local delicacy!

My name is Gary Butler and I’ve been living in Bangkok for the past NINE plus years and travelling Thailand for over ten. I’m obsessed with Thai street food and it’s that obsession that led me to start this YouTube channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have!
I’ve never understood travelling to a town or city and not eating the local food. How else do you really connect with a place? Let’s get out and explore together and I guarantee you’ll find a whole different side to this wonderful country.
If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (I’m not judging) then maybe not!
