LAO PEOPLE’S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC

I have visited Lao PDR on 4 occasions.

1. Vientiane (2012): tail end of a research trip to Cambodia
2. Vientiane (2015): Workshop on Nutrition Policy (WHO mIssion)
3. Vientiane (2016): fact-finding mission on Investment License Agreement (WHO mIssion)
4. Vientiane (2016): fact-finding mission on Investment License Agreement (WHO mIssion)

“LAO” is the 3-letter abbreviation for the country within the United Nations system.  Although commonly referred to as “Laos” around the world, the government prefers “Lao People’s Democratic Republic” or “Lao PDR” in official communications.  

These commercial eating establishments in LAO, as featured on GMTD, are arranged geographically below, then listed alphabetically.  Some might no longer be in operation.

Venues in other countries can be accessed via the COUNTRIES index.
