Which end of the street?

Stalls cluster toward the bus terminal. Walk until you see a mortar, not only clothes.

Ask for cooked. Street larb is usually cooked, but say it.

Larb Moo in Pai ลาบหมู

Larb moo is minced pork tossed with lime, toasted rice, mint, and chili, eaten with sticky rice as the utensil. Pai Walking Street on Chai Songkhram Road is the stall for that salad nightly.
