Drinking beer socially with friends is considered normal for Lao men and women.

But when middle-aged Lao women tries to act young again and goes over the top with their drinking and dancing, it's not a pretty sight for the conservative Laotians.

I love BeerLao!!!
8-)

Everybody just want to have fun.
;)

haha i like these topics. i really do. fun :)

but i wonder if person in your photo realize what story you are writing about them when they agree to get photography?

i'm just saying would some be kind of offended if they saw the article and it relates to them in a negative way......

Same here in the US everybody want to have fun. Many night club, bar, and casino. Sometime too much fun and temptation here. But you have to know your limit or you will be lost. It's like jungle out here.

Girl just want to have fun.
:D

Lan Xang, It's just fun her style. None of the guys beside her seems interested, usually when you're having fun everyone goes with the flow.

USA Joe, I know her and she is the type of person that is "khon sabai, sabai", meaning she doesn't take life too seriously. She may give me a slap on the bum for saying negative things about her, but we will just laugh it off.

When you drink beer and get buzz. That's when the fun began. Thai said "Mai pen rai."

I only can find small beerlao bottle in US liquor store. About $30 for case of 24pack

well u can find laobeer in usa but no other kind of beers are allowed in lao aside from their own. too bad missing out on variety taste

USA Joe, Actually foreign beers are allowed in Laos. Carlsberg and Heineken beers for example are sold in the country.

Almost every beer-drinking tourist prefer beer that is made in Laos since they want to try something different.

That true beerlao is the best selling beer in Laos. Because Lao people, tourist prefer beerlao. They're selling it international because tourist ask for them.

They are selling it international for profit as well.

BeerLao are doing well. They also hired Lao worker. My friend in the US all like it too when I let them try. It's also little stronger then other beer.

question: is there a law stating how old a person must be to drink beer?

Good question. I'm not sure in Laos, but most young kids don't drink because they dont have lot of money. If they got money they probably spend on something else. Like snack and candy.

USA Joe, There is no minimum drinking age, or purchase age in Laos, so anyone can legally drink or be in possession of alcohol.

But as Lao Lan Xang has mentioned, you wouldn't find many Lao kids drinking since they have no money, and also Lao parents like to supervise and control their kids.

Lao people are usually sensible with their drinking, if they get drunk they'll keep to themselves like the lady dancing alone on the first page. It's rare to see any alcohol-fuelled violence, and that's the beauty of this country.

Laos culture is very conservative. Parent teach their children with morals and to respect other very well. I grew up poor in Laos. When I have money at age 11 yrs old. The first think I think about is buying some snack, and some candy. Not ciggerret or beer. But few do drink and smoke.

But the government should regulate and let people buy alcohol, and smoke at 18 yrs or older.

good theory. but. only. a matter of time.

Lao Lan Xang, Government regulation won't stop anything, teenagers will still buy alcohol and cigarettes if they really want to. And businesses will provide them because it's about profit.

Just like the new compulsory helmet law. Many people do not care about it, and still continue to ride their motorbikes without a helmet.

well i dont really care if people refuse to wear helmet. its their head getting split open when they crash.

i do get annoyed when a drunk teen/kid causes an accident with his/her motobike because there is no law against under-age drinking

and spare me the preach about how lao family will regulate their kids not to drink, that they are responsible and good little boy and girl who only wants candy and soda pop.

USA Joe, Foreigners are always at fault in a vehicle accident in Laos, so it doesn't matter if a drunken kid or elderly person gave you a few broken bones, you will need to pay up.

If Lao law favorite the native. That mean don't drive and take taxi instead. If you're tourist or foreigner. Less headaches and safer. Traffic law and the way people drive is different in western country cause most people follow the law here, and police will inforce the law.

Thank for the lookout. I didn't know they alway blame foreigners.

Even those who don't drink can drive dangerously because vehicles don't travel in an orderly fashion in Laos, they are all over the place.

So yes, if you're a foreigner then it's wise to take a taxi, bus or jumbo.
As a passenger, you're not responsible in accidents.

I also heard about that, driving can be dangerous in Asia, in US too. Not just in Laos, but also in Thailand, Cambodia or Vietnam.

Yes, although the traffic conditions in Laos is not as bad as Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia because our cities are alot smaller.

i never said i would be driving. my statement was from an observer's point of view... of seeing what lao people do to other lao people.

as a matter of fact, as a foreigner, i know not to get too physically evolved with the native. i dont even buy things... i give the money to my native friend to buy so i dont get cheated. i know i have no rights in lao.

USA Joe, If an accident involved drunken Lao youths then their age comes into play, whether they are legal to ride/drive. Then they investigate who caused the accident.

In a worst case scenario, that is if some gets killed as a result of a road accident, the rider/driver of the other vehicle must spend some time in jail by law, even if he/she didn't cause the accident.  

Why don't you buy things? Even if they cheat you for 10 cents over the actual price, there's no harm done.

Lol. Only in lao will people cheat you and tell you there is no harm in doing it. That is too funny.

hello.... why not just NOT cheat me in first place? is it too hard to be fair to me.

10 cents or $10 cheating is cheating. no honor in both. please dont try to justify  the cheating. there is none. other than i am a foreigner.

USA Joe, The vendor cheats on everyone, including the locals. They alway try to make as much profit as they can, so you have to bargain. That's part of life in Laos.

If you and I bought the same item, you may have got it at a cheaper price because you negotiated with them better than I did.

and you telling me this is fair? u may accept it. i wont. i will find ways to keep it fair. even if i just dont buy at all.

this is why merchants dont display a price list in public. so primitive. stay in the lost age.

USA Joe, Fair or not fair is not the issue. Their product/service, they have the right to sell it for any price they wish.
 
Laos is not everyone's cup of tea. If Laos seems so primitive then maybe you need to rule it out as your next travel destination.

That's how business work. Make as much profits as you can. In Laos you have to negotiate the price and don't let people know you are tourist. Same problem in Thailand and Cambodia." Life is not fair".

actually i already establish fact that it is their right to sell their items. just as it is mine to buy or not. that was posted 3 messages above, u may have missed it.

but its crazy and unfair for them to change price for different person.
that just proves the notion that there is no equality for everyone. primitive. but true.

dont worry. i wont let these way of life interrupt my visit to lao. i'm looking forward to time traveling to 1950 usa (back when usa was unfair) because that is modern lao :)

[quote]That's how business work.
[/quote] wrong. that is how primitive business work. just like the bartering system. no way any civilized nation can tolerate that. u know that will never be condone in usa nowadays.

true but not at expense of being unfair. there should be laws or posted price for everyone. not just for people who u like or dont like.

yup, i have my Buddhist monk costume ready :D

USA Joe. Thailand are civilized, and developed but they are worse with pricing and riping off farang tourist. Becareful they might charge you extra dollars or couple quarter in Laos.
:D

USA Joe. In US you pay what ever they tell you, no negotiating on prices that mean if they want to over charge you or rips you off you are stuck and have to pay up.
;D

Lao Lan Xang, You have a good point regarding the pricing in Thailand and the US.  


USA Joe, I didn't miss anything. I am well aware of your rights as a buyer, but please don't go walking away believing that they cheated on you due to being a foreigner because we are all in the same boat, and it comes down to how well you negotiate. Some places in Laos have fixed prices, such as a small supermarket.

I'm sure that if I visited the USA, certain situations will seem crazy and unfair to me. It's called "culture shock", and that's what you will be experiencing in Laos.

And by the way, I hope that picture of you in a Buddhist monk robe is just a rehearsal because beard and earrings are not allowed.

You have to be street smart. Its doesn't matter where you are in the world. There are some people who will try to rips you off if they can. There's bad apple in every tree.

i rather get charged and ripped off the same as the next person. it's call fair treatment to everyone. everyone gets the same price regardless of age/sex/race/beauty.

and u are wrong:  i can agree to pay or not and leave. never forced to buy.

Most part in the US the price is set fairy at the retail store. I agree you can alway take your business somewhere else. Same as in Laos if the prices is not right you can alway walk and go to different place.

USA Joe say "everyone gets the same price regardless of age/sex/race/beauty." Yes most of the time. But sometime people do get rips off too. There are flaw of course. I live in the US for over 20 year. I know how the system work. For example if you are women who doesn't know much about car repair . When you bring your car to an auto shop. I can guarantee you some shop will over charge you more then men. Who might know more about car. I have friends who own auto shop. Many business also get fine for ripping off customer all the time. I personally have been rips off before.

Couple of week ago I try to get new engine for my truck. The mechanics want $1400 for part and labors. I try to negotiate the prices down to $1200. The shop wouldn't even call back. I ask around at different shop some want $1100, some want $1900.

you are comparing oranges to apple.

in usa mechanics are not allow to charge differentprices to different people.

for example john and mary buys the same tire from mechanic for same price. however, if mary doest know her tire just has low air and does not need a new tire, that is mary's own fault, not the mechanic. nor is the mechanic doing unlawful by selling a new tire (which sells at same price for everyone)

now on your example, i bet the parts have same price which, is the law, but the labor can be different prices. i like how you dont include those information in your post, so that people think you are making a good point, when in fact, you just do so that it makes you look smart. fail try

its fact in usa, there are laws to limit mechant ripping people off. some will still do it but u can always sue them in court with proof. very fair.

fact is in lao. there is no law. a person will get rip off and there is nothing u can do. not fair.

Probably a nice rich suburban utopia neighborhood or Atlantis. its fact in usa, there are laws to limit mechant ripping people off. some will still do it but u can always sue them in court with proof. very fair. fact is in lao. there is no law. a person will get rip off and there is nothing u can do. not fair. You just prove my point. You can get rip off anywhere it doesn't matter where you at. We finally agree on something. USA is great, but it not Utopia. Tell the world the truth not propaganda. 8-)

why would i agree with u when u are always wrong lol and making up storys to scare people. or rip people off.

Lao Lan Xang, Are you a Laotian who follows Christianity? And are there many Laotians in America who follows Christianity?

Don't get me wrong, we all have the right to follow any faith we want, but it's very interesting.

Yep. I'm 100% L.A.O and follow Christianity. Some young Lao America are Christian, but most still follow Buddhism. I still go to Buddish temple with friends and family when there a celebration.

Many way to the same destination. The main point of religion are the same. Do good go to heaven, do bad go to hell.

Your parents follow what religion?

Okay, note to self. Don't preach. Don't preach. Don't... I have to, sorry.

Christians do not believe that simply living a good life or doing good deeds will get you into heaven.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."  (John 14:6).

Without the way there is no going; without the truth there is no knowing; without the life there is no living. I am the way which you should pursue; the truth which you should believe; the life which you should hope for."

Okay, I'm finished.

BTW: I also read Buddha's teachings.   :)   I want to be SAVED and ENLIGHTENED also.

I'm in Minnesota. Lot of Lao population in Texas? Maybe if you can import BeerLao there, and sell them there you can be rich. But easy said then done because of law and regulation.
;D ;D

Business is getting very good for him and BeerLao. It is not easy to get it here. Last time I had some I was visiting Keo's family in Elgin, IL. The food was spicy, and the BeerLao was ice-cold! It went down so very good.

Now I am straying wayyyy off topic now, but I really wanna know if this is you in the black with your back turned.

Why don't you just cut the suspense and reveal yourself and lets see if you're really as 'hot' as your avatar persuades!
