admin June 26th, 2007

The nice street with the old bulilding Savannakhet seams to me totally different from north places (Vientiane, Vang Vien or Lung Prabang) that I have visited before.

If somebody says “Thank You” to someone they respect or older than them they will use “kop koon” or “kòp prá koon” not use “ kòp jai“.
