A drink made from fruit.
Contexto cultural
Fruit juice stalls are social hubs. You'll often see groups of students or workers gathered around a stall in the evening. It's common to customize your drink with various toppings like jelly or basil seeds. When you enter a Lao home, you will almost always be served a drink. If they have fruit juice, it's a sign of high respect. Always receive the glass with both hands to show politeness. Certain juices are believed to balance the 'elements' in the body. For example, coconut water is 'cooling' and good for fevers, while ginger-based juices are 'warming'. During festivals like Pi Mai (Lao New Year), fruit juices are often offered to monks or used in ceremonies as a symbol of purity and the sweetness of life.
The 'No Sugar' Rule
If you are health-conscious, always say 'Bo Sai Nam Tan' (No sugar) and 'Bo Sai Nom Khun' (No condensed milk).
Pointing is okay
At juice stalls, it's perfectly polite to point at the fruit you want while saying 'Nâm mâak mâi ni' (This fruit juice).
