The Laotian word for a westerner. In Thai, the word is "farang"; however, in Lao and in NE Thailand, the word "mak see daa" is often used. The word is not meant to be derogatory.

Get the mak see daa mug.
A sauce added to many dishes in SE Asia. Meaning literally "wait fish", it is made by putting fish of any kind in a bucket, putting that bucket out under the SE Asian sun, then retrieving that bucket within a time-frame anywhere between three months to a year. Sometimes, the fish liquid is then boiled in a feeble attempt to remove any parasites.

Also referred to as "pad-ag", in Laotian, it is most commonly added to som tum and a variety of salads and other regional dishes. It, quite objectively, has an indescribably horrible smell--much like a year old fish because it is, in fact, a year old fish.
Person 1: Hey, you want some som tum with pla rah?

Person 2: No, I don't.

One of the sweetest things a person can do to another person in order to kick their ass. Totally awesome. There are few things more impressive than a well-executed flying sidekick.
Person 1: "Dude, I'm sorry I spilled your drink, please don't flying sidekick me."

Person 2: "Hwaaaaa!"
