She can't sell her sandwiches all over Laos and overseas. It's made and need to eaten straight away, just like foods at McDonald's.

Actually, many people in Laos are in middle class group. People who earn between $100 - $300 per month is considered a middle class. This is Laos, not America remember, so the amount of salary is different.


I'm just giving example of Capitalist. How small business, idea can expand. Lao government need to keep it up and work with China, Thailand, Vietnam to industrialize Laos. Because of big many business and corporation in Thailand that's why many young Lao go there to look for better paying jobs.

Yes If you make $300-$500 a month is very good in Laos. That's why some expats prefer to retire in Laos because cost of living is cheaper.

A basic sandwich stall on the streets doesn't have a name, there are many in Vientiane.

The people in Laos who own a nice house and car don't work for other people. That's the difference. They are most likely a boss of a business or company.

Let me tell you about a lady in Vientiane who is just over 30 years old. She sells sandwiches and drinks, and makes about $1,000 US a day. That's about $30,000 US a month. She doesn't stand around making sandwiches, she employs her staff. Her family owns three cars, I'm told. It looks like a simple sandwich stall, but a very profitable business. Many customers like to buy from there because they think it tastes nice.
these people must gone mad for her sandwiches $1k per day? shtt no way lolz. maybe you should find out her contact so i license her recipes over here in U.S,


LP Admins was just joking with you longhang. Grin Grin
