Thai & Lao Drink Recipe

I create the Thai & Lao Drink Recipe in order to group all drink recipes into one blog. My main blog is www.thai-laos-food.blogspot.com but because Blogger does not have a category feature where I can group my food recipes, I decided to create another account with Blogger.

Now you can view all the Thai and Lao Drink Recipes from this blog.
