Laotian culinary influence disseminated through Thailand and Laos' other neighboring countries just as Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian and even Chinese ingredients and techniques have come to Laos over the years.

The cooking techniques and flavors that Northern Thai food shares with Laotian should prime diners' palates for Laotian cuisine.
