Polylactic acid-based resin expanded beads of the present invention are obtained by releasing a softened, pressurized foamable resin composition, which comprises a polylactic acid-based resin and a physical blowing agent, to a low pressure atmosphere to foam and expand the resin composition, wherein the polylactic acid-based resin satisfies the conditions (1) to (3) shown below, and exhibit excellent secondary expansion properties and fusion bonding properties. A polylactic acid-based resin expanded beads molded article obtained by in-mold molding of the polylactic acid-based resin expanded beads exhibits excellent mechanical properties.
