If you are having a thirst for something cool and refreshing, you don’t have to go far to find a sugarcane drink (Nam Oi ນ້ຳອ້ອຍ, น้ำอ้อย ) stand in your neighborhood.
For 2,000 kips or about 20 US cents, you can have a big tall glass of fresh sugar cane drink within a few minutes.
So, the next time you are in Laos, look for a sugar cane drink stand and give it a try. If you are afraid of the ice, then ask for sugar cane juice only.
