How Two Exiled Princes are Keeping Alive Laos’s Royal Recipes

From 1959 to 1975, Laos was torn apart by a civil war, fought between three factions- each led by a member of the royal family. Prince Boun Oum, Prince Souvanna Phouma, and Prince Souphanouvong- the Royalist, the Neutralist, and the Communist. This is the story of the grandsons of the two princes who lost the war, and the wild and tragic paths that led them to opening a Lao restaurant in Thailand.
