The must-buy list for shopping in Laos is wooden handicrafts, roasted mice, gambas, and stone clams.

The specialties of Laos are all original, and the most abundant ones are all kinds of wood and wood processed products. Laos has a high forest coverage rate, and wood has become an unparalleled resource. In addition, the forests of Laos are rich in products and various kinds of wood products. There are many delicacies and wild vegetables, including wild honey and red fungi. There are ancient tree tea and so on.

The roasted beef skin and Laos beer in Laos are simply delicious. Also, Laotians like to eat mice. In rural areas, many people have a lot of mouse traps. Where do they go after they skin the mice they catch and dry them in the sun? , so you can see roasted mice, gambas, rock clams, etc. in Laotian street food restaurants. I ate various Laotian delicacies while cycling in Southeast Asia in January this year.

Laos is a landlocked country with a high forest coverage rate and is rich in wood. Precious woods such as teak, rosewood, agarwood, and Siamese rosewood can be seen everywhere. Tea trays, fruit plates, bracelets and other handicrafts made from these precious woods are sold in many stores.

But now Siamese rosewood products are subject to customs inspection, so if you want to bring them, the risk is very high. Agarwood is also a precious wood, but it depends on your financial strength. The price is very high.
