A few readers have requested where to get certain ingredients for Lao recipes. Most Asian supermarkets in any city will stock most ingredients, if you can't find it just ask, they may be able to order it in for you.
I have been reliably told that beer Lao is available in Oz - so I will get back to you once I have found an address.
Here are a few addresses for the UK.
If you like your sticky rice, you can purchase a Lao conical bamboo rice steamer, basket and pot at any Thai supermarket or try Tawana Supermarket, 18 Chepstow road, London W2. ph: 02072216316
www.thai4UK.com supplies everything for both Lao and Thai food and you can order over the internet.
www.lotusfoods.com has an interesting range of rice, like Forbidden Rice (black rice) and Bhutanese Red Rice and Lao river algae snacks - kaipen (really good toasted with jaewbong)

How you both find the time and energy to document all of this so consistently well after a long hot day in foreign places amazes me. Excellent stuff.
Thanks Dom and thanks for all your comments, it lets me know that someone is enjoying my efforts.
It has been a great journey so far, a little more writing to come after I finish my studies. There is still more Thai food to experience.
See you soon.
Hey Amanda,
Good to hear you're both having a great time. G'day to you and Adam.
Beer Lao, incidentally, is available at quite a few places in Sydney. The bottle shop near Stanmore station is one that springs to mind.
Cheers,
Scott
