I love walking through the market. I love walking in Luang Prabang, period! Feel ko napaka safe, kahit gabi na. What I loved about this market is that though some of the things on sale here are similar to what you would see in Thailand and Cambodia, there are still plenty of unique Lao item. I bought a packet of Lao coffee as souvenir for my brother :D I miss this! I love walking through the market. I love walking in Luang Prabang, period! Feel ko napaka safe, kahit gabi na.

Glad you enjoyed the posts. The prices there are very cheap but I didn't manage to buy some stuff since I'm watching for my budget and also the weight of my pack. So true <strong>Oman</strong>! Market is the perfect place to get a slice of local culture. Thanks for the visit and complements <strong>Bharat Khatri</strong>! That's what I also liked about this Market <strong>Og</strong>! The money they earn goes directly to them. I like those umbrellas as well. I thought it looks very scenic as well <strong>Bing</strong>! Thank you <strong>Japanesecake</strong> :D It sure has a lot <strong>Pao</strong>. Thanks! Hi Photo Cache! Glad you enjoyed the posts.

I love the blue and red tents too, they are so festive. How were the prices? Did you get anything to take home? Simply enjoyed this post to the max. oh my gosh, i love this open air makeshift market. this is the way i love to shop not cooped up inside an AC-d mall, but outside smelling the natural smells of the place, the sweats, and shoving people to get to the knick knack I want and so I could haggle my way to a treasure.
