In the hills surrounding Luang Prabang, the Khmu ethnic group traditionally makes delicious rice whiskey (lao lao). Lao lao is naturally sweet, and its aroma comes from the fermented sticky rice that is first steamed and then mixed with crushed rice husks. After, the mixture is put into earthenware jars where it sits for a few days before it is ready to drink. Located near Pak Ou Caves, the village of Bang Xang Hai is famous for its rice whiskey production. Here, you can witness the village's traditional method of making lao lao, Laos' beloved drink.
