This is how I ended my stay in Lao - with a BANG.
The highlight of my last weekend in Vientiane was to gather with other peeps who like fun random activities, dressed up like Lao Royal Family members and did a photoshoot.
Inspired by Patricia, who had previous experience of dressing up as royal family member in various Asian countries, we went on a hunting for a photo studio which:
- has English speaking staff, so they understand when we say "this color makes me look a member of the jungle", "can I pose with the sitar?", "I'm Lao next top model" etc.
- Has a decent collection of Lao traditional costumes
- Offer competitive pricing
So on a very very hot afternoon, we gathered in an express digital photo studio across the old Talat Sao and the travesty began.
Being the sole male royal member for the shoot, Tim's preparation was the quickest. He was transformed from a Georgian boy in yellow shorts to a Lao Prince Charming in less than 10 mins. So he had sometime to check out the props.

Our prep was fairly quick as well. We had similar themes, with different colors and hair dos. Sarah donned green, Patricia was red and I was a purple princess. Sarah wore hair extention, Patri has coned hair, I had a head wrap.

They gave us specific royal-like instructions to pose. To assist with the photographer instructions which were not in English, we helped each other by translating his visions such as:
- Now stroke your luscious long lock while thinking of the man you love
- Bring those legs up and show them who da man
- Show your musical talent by pretending to play the sitar
Our imaginations were way better than the photographer instructions.I'm sure.
The results as follow.
