Experience the unique drinks of Laos.

Lao Lao

Lao liquor, also known as Lao Lao, is considered the national drink of the land of a million elephants. Impressive from the start by its name, Lao Lao sparks curiosity, and then leaves one feeling intoxicated by its rich, spicy flavor.

Lao Lao is one of the cheapest liquors in the world, but that doesn't mean its quality is commensurate with its price.

Tourists can easily buy a bottle of Lao Lao in Laos, from local markets to supermarket chains, from roadside eateries to upscale restaurants in the city center.

Lao Hai

Although it's also a type of liquor, unlike Lao Lao which is drunk by pouring it into a cup, Lao Hai liquor from Laos is enjoyed like the rice wine of the Muong people in Vietnam.

Beerlaos

Lao beer, under the brand name "Beerlaos," is one of the most popular beverages in Laos, especially during the summer. Although Laos also has many international beer brands such as Heineken and Carlsberg, Beerlaos remains a strong favorite among the people and is chosen as the national beer brand.

Lao beer is produced from basic ingredients grown and harvested in Laos, with high-quality yeast from Germany and, most importantly, the unique brewing technology of the people of the land of the champa flower.

Today, Beerlaos proudly exports to many countries around the world, including the UK, the US, Canada, South Korea, and France.

Cafe Paksong

Paksong coffee is a famous Lao coffee brand grown in the Bolaven Plateau, Paksong province.

With its clean air, stable annual rainfall, and fertile soil due to the geological features of the volcanic area, Paksong region has favorable conditions that allow it to produce 95% of the country's total robusta coffee output.

Lao people prefer strong, sweet coffee, so they often add condensed milk and sugar to their coffee. When enjoying coffee in Laos, people usually drink it with a cup of Nam Sa (lightly brewed black tea).

loose leaf tea

Laotians drink a lot of tea in their daily lives. Two common types of tea in Laos are black tea (in the Indian style) and green tea (in the Vietnamese style).

Tourists can easily enjoy a free cup of hot or cold tea at tea stalls, street food vendors, and even upscale restaurants in Laos. Laotians also often accompany their coffee with weakly brewed black tea, a unique and distinctive feature of the country's culinary culture.

Coconut water

Like other countries in the Asian region, coconut trees are very common in Laos.

Laotians harvest coconuts to drink as a refreshing beverage; however, instead of drinking coconut water in the usual way, they roast the whole coconut, peel it, and chill it whole.

They believe this process gives the coconut a more impressive aroma and a richer flavor when consumed. And indeed, it's a masterpiece!
