Sao Lao T-Shirt - Lao Girl T-Shirt

I got this "Sao Lao" t-shirt.
"Sao" means 'girl' or 'young lady'.

Every August long weekend my cousin, Vilaysith Sanoubane, organizes "bune Lao" which is a fundraiser festival for Wat Lao Veluwanh.

It's an amazing event: a soccer tournament, concert bands, dancing, blessings from Buddhist Monks, food, and Lao merchandise. Over 5000 people attend.

For just one day, it feels like you were in Laos.

I still have a few Sao Laos t-shirts if anyone is interested.

Thai Hair Sticks for Holding Back Hair

French Roll
Granny Bun

When I cook Thai & Lao Food, I like to put my hair up in hair sticks to keep them away.

I got these Thai wooden hair sticks custom made so that they are shorter and blunt. These hair sticks are less likely to get in your way or poke someone's eyes.

i hum yie T-Shirt

Here is a T-Shirt that I designed for my baby boy cousins.

I - HUM- YIE translates to
HIM or ME - 'PACKAGE' - BIG

I don't know if it is a universal Lao culture or just the Larprom / Sanoubane family culture but every boy gets the nickname 'i hum yie'.

When people take the English translation out of the Lao culture, they don't know how to take it. A male who hears, 'i hum yie' should take it as a compliment and know that he is loved.

My parents call my brothers and nephews 'i hum yie' all the time. To this day, they've had no self-esteem issues.

I hear my mom call my dad this when she thinks I'm not in the room...maybe that is the secret for their strong marriage.

I still have a few I HUM YIE t-shirts left if anyone is interested!
