The origin of laksa is still not definite, but there is a laksa-ish noodle in north of Thailand -Chiang Mai and also borders of Thailand and Myanmar -Kao Soi Gai, creamy spicy coconut noodle, topped with crispy deep fried noodles. The origin of this noodle is said to be from Yunnan province of southern China. Apparently, the Hui or Haw Muslim merchants who migrated to the border of Thailand and Myanmar spread this noodle dish. Actually, there is a noodle that resembles laksa noodles / chor beehoon called mixian in yunnan province. Although the soup base is more like sichuan, the noodle is laksa beehoon. This famous kao soi noodle place also serves the Thai-Muslim dish -kao mok gai which is the Thai version of nasi briyani and satay.
