Sabaidee, nice to meet everyone here on this forum. My name is Sean, I'm half Lao/Filipino born in the United States. I can speak about 70% Lao, but I'm quickly trying to learn through studying Thai first. Yes, I know it's a different language, but in Los Angeles, there are no Lao temples or classes available. Soon after, I hope to learn to read and write Lao.

I just came back from Lao,Thailand, and Vietnam after 4 months, and have never been so fascinated about our culture than ever before. I toured the whole country in 3 weeks, from Vientiane, Luang Prabang, Xiengkhuong, Pakse, and everything in between. Hope to meet everyone here.
If you have any questions, let me know. thanks

Khop Jai lai lai

Oh really? I googled and came up with no results. I live in the Santa Monica area, right next to LA.

Thanks! They all seem to be quite a drive, but I hope to go to the Santa Ana one sometime. I'll definitely check out the restaurants, I miss Lao food. I've been wanting to join a Lao community/organization, do you know of any? I mostly and only hear of the Thai ones.

Thanks, will do. Interested in reaching out to one. Kap jai lai lai..
