I recently got hair extensions removed at a salon in Luang Prabang and the hairdresser gave me a shampoo with a neck and shoulder massage that included my collarbone and breasts. I felt uncomfortable and violated, but I'm not sure if this is a normal part of the service or not. I've only been to a few salons here so far and I'm still trying to figure out the local customs.

I'm always making jeow for my friends/family and I'm now trying to bring it to ready-to-eat shelves. I'm testing recipes for a small-batch pantry line: a roasted tomato jeow (mak len), a roasted eggplant jeow (mak keua), a papaya salad dressing, and fish sauce, which is the heart of everything I make.

My wife and I are thinking of visiting Luang Prabang for a few days in mid October with our 2-year-old son. We're a bit worried about food safety and spice / salt tolerance. We'd love some recommendations for genuinely good coffee shops and toddler-friendly cafes and restaurants.
