Sabaidee!
31st Oct, 2011 at 5:02am
 
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

Hi Sean, there's a few different Lao temples around Southern CA. Where do you live?

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

There are several more that I can't think of right now. Here's the ones that come to mind:

Wat Lao Buddha Samakee
2201 South Birch Street
Santa Ana, CA 92707
Tel. 714-662-0285

Wat Phosayaram of Orange County
7721 Orangewood Avenue.
Stanton, California 90680-3509
Tel. 714-890-7017

Wat Lao Buddhist Samakitham
6021 Rutland
Riverside, CA 92503
Tel. 951-509-0931

Also, there are several Lao restaurants and markets around LA and Orange Counties if you didn't already know. My favorite restaurant is: Vientiane which is located in Garden Grove.

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.

I forgot to mention that there's another Lao restaurant/market in Anaheim called Thai and Lao Market. One side of the building houses the restaurant while the other side is the restaurant. Here's their address: 

1721 W La Palma Ave
Anaheim, CA 92801
Tel. 714-535-2656

I was told there's a lot of Hmong and Lao stuff in the Santa Ana and Anaheim areas. You can inquire either at the temple of restaurant/market about Lao associations.
