Significado
Using a camera to capture images.
Contexto cultural
Always look for 'No Photography' signs. If taking photos of Buddha images, do so respectfully and never climb on statues. Facebook and TikTok are huge in Laos. 'Thay houp' is often done specifically to 'check-in' at locations to show social status and travel. When taking a group photo, ensure the elders are in the center or seated, and younger people stand or crouch around them. Lao youth often prefer photos that look 'Noy' (small/cute/dainty). This affects how they pose and the filters they use.
