One of the most important ethnic groups among the Thai peoples. They are of Mongoloid descent and live in Laos and northeastern Thailand. Lao is the official language of Laos. They mainly make a living by rice paddy farming. The existence of married couple families is prominent, and there is a lack of unilineal organizations such as clans. The marriage residence system is matrilocal marriage. The religion is Buddhism, and wats (temples) are the center of village life, but the traditional spirit worship of Phi is also widely practiced.
