Talat Sao (Morning market)
A visit to the Morning Market is a genuine experience, with traders coming from all over Laos to sell and source products. Like any other local "souvenir markets", Talat Sao is fairly overflowing with mass-produced silks, cheap T-shirts, trinkets and other souvenir type items. Talat Sao is the market to visit if you are looking for something in particular ? although bear in mind that although the place is clean and the floors are tiled, it is not something similar to the catwalks of the western cities, not even similar to the shopping lane of Orchard road in Singapore.
