We know that she is a great country singer. Lum
Ban Xok is another brilliant classical folk
song from her. This

As you might be aware that people of Laos divide
ourselves into three categories according to the altitude at
which we live. They
comprise of Lao Loum, Lao Theung and Lao Sung.

ethnic groups dress in their traditional customs.
Singer dresses in Lao Loum. Dancers are in Lao Theung and Lao Sung.
Another important facts as you move northward of
