Meal Friends - Episode 3: Happy Lao New Year

In this episode of Meal Friends, Alain visits his local Lao Buddhist temple to give you a look into the Lao New Year festival held every year in April. From the Nang Sangkhane pageant to the wide range of delicacies on offer at the street food markets, we look at the importance of the Lao New Year festival in the Lao cultural calendar.
