First of all, an absolute pleasure because you've helped put Lao cuisine on the map. I'm dying to get to understand Lao cuisine. Food not too sweet, but we use lots of stuff that we get from the forest or swimming river. We also use more herbs.

Wow, that's incredible! What is he doing over there? That crazy man, he's fishing. I mean, not the safest place to fish because very strong water. Yes, so the fish are more tasty. Wow, yeah, they'll get fire against the current.

Wow, so by fighting the current, they get a little bit more tastier, tasting more, more exercise. Wow, more exercise! And so there's a big difference between fish being caught down here and on the other side of the rapids. It's just so dangerous. It's almost like on the edge of that rock.

Yeah. Would you like to try to do it? It's dangerous, right? Um, not really. Not really. Um, yeah, I beg to differ. Khone Falls are the widest in the world, and 2.5 million gallons of water crash over these rocks every second.

I was hoping for lunch, but this wasn't what I had in mind. What then are we doing? Seriously, you sure this will take my weight, Joy? Yeah, where are we going? Man, local fisherman Mr. Senchan has been risking his life—sorry, catching these prized Mekong fish for decades.

Joy, these fish better taste delicious! This is crazy! Traditional cast net fishing has been practiced for thousands of years. Elbow, but I've just minutes to get the hang of it.

Whole happy? Ready? This is not a good idea! Yeah, I'm not trying to jump in the net! Yes! [Music] Oh come on! [Music] Oh, I tell you what, they make it look so easy, but there is nothing easy in this. That's an edgy place to fish.

It's the force of that water inches away from you, and one slip and you're gone. Enjoy this time we catch something! Thicker classification? Yes! Here we go!

Wow, good job! Probably get some fish. Got it? Yeah, nothing. There's gotta be an easy way of catching fish here. Surely. Come on, nothing! It's good early in the morning. What? Oh, he's got a lot of... First day? Can you say early in the morning?

So you're telling me it's not the right time of day? Joy, there's no joy in this. Thankfully, Mr. Senchan takes pity on me and kindly shares his morning catch. Oh my god, and what's that? Here? Yes, look at those beauties! They're gorgeous!

Right, let's go eat some before we get killed! Want to see more from my uncharted adventures? Please click here to watch more clips.
