Having traveled to many places and cities in Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, whenever I encounter unusual food and drinks, I always share the stories. In Sisophon, there is a shop in front of the market selling fried chicken rice and fried pork, and this shop is crowded because they also serve tea. Their tea is served by inverting the glass.

For those who have never seen it before and come alone when there are no customers, it’s hard to imagine how they drink it. I was lucky to have a local Sisophon resident show me as an example, so I could learn. The way to drink is to slightly tilt the bottom of the glass bit by bit to let the tea flow through the tea leaves, then catch it with another glass to drink. Each sip is taken this way along the edge. This is the unique method of this city. I have videos and photos to share.
