Contexto cultural
In Laos, the 'Vientiane Times' is the main English news source, while 'Pasaxon' is the official Lao language paper. Most people, however, 'read news' via Facebook pages like 'Tholakhong'. In rural areas, news is often read aloud by the village head over a loudspeaker system, making 'reading news' a shared auditory experience for those who don't have papers. Historically, literacy was taught in temples. The act of 'reading' (aan) was sacred. Today, monks still 'read news' to stay connected with the lay community's needs. Lao youth use 'aan khao' to refer to celebrity gossip (khao dara) just as much as hard news.
Context is King
If you are scrolling on your phone, you can say 'ອ່ານຂ່າວ' even if you are just looking at headlines.
Tone Matters
Be careful with 'khao'. If you say it with a high tone, it means 'white'. If you say it with a low tone, it means 'rice'.
