She meant to say... Ta Lard Xaow = Morning Market..   she must be half viet due to the way she type Dalat Sao

I am Lao-Thai. I don't have any Vietnamese background.

I just wrote how they say it in English at the shop.

Hey, hey, hey! last time I questioned your heritage your heritage - i asked you point blank if you were Siamese - your response was 'I'm Lao'.

I am Lao, with no Thai blood. I said that I am Lao-Thai because my dad came back from there.

Thai and Siamese are distinct people. Both of my parents are Lao and born in Laos, but my dad went to Thailand when he was a kid and he met my mum when he returned to Laos.

Having grown up in Thailand, he still does the usual Thai things. Example, eat boiled rice which is why I often eat it too.

I consider my dad as Thai. He talks in Thai more than Lao, and he does all the Thai things. I can't really blame him because he grew up in Bangkok.

My family usually eats Jasmine rice. I haven't had sticky rice for a while. I rarely use my hands like other Lao people, I always use utensils when eating.

The "Lo-So" eat Jasmine rice, but they don't eat it every day like me. Most days they will have sticky rice, and only some days Jasmine rice.

I don't use my fingers to roll the sticky rice into a ball. Knife isn't needed for rice. The rice is placed on my plate, and I use a spoon or fork to eat my rice, regardless of what rice it is.
