I Found the Strangest Local Market in Laos (Where Rats are a Delicacy)

Описание: Forget everything you think you know about “street food.”
In this journey, I take you inside Don Mak Khai Market (Kilometer 36) — a raw, unfiltered roadside market in Laos where the forest meets the highway. This isn't a place for tourists; it’s a place where rats, insects, and forest-sourced foods aren’t a curiosity — they are a traditional and essential way of life.

What may seem unusual to the outside world is a survival system refined over generations. Along the red dust of Route 13, life is shaped by geography, resilience, and a deep connection to the wild.

In this documentary, you’ll experience:

The "Secret Menu" of Laos: From grilled rats to wild insects, see the traditional protein sources of the jungle.

Life on Route 13: How the red dust of Laos’ most important highway settles on everything — homes, trees, and the food people eat.

Beyond the Tourist Map: A raw look at a roadside market rarely seen by outsiders.

Authentic Survival: Quiet, unscripted moments of daily life in rural Laos.

No scripts. No sponsors. Only real people, real places, and a life shaped by adaptation.
