With fishermen pants and one-size-fits-all dresses and skirts, the clothes stalls tend to be geared towards the backpacker market. Here, among these products on offer which are fairly typical of night markets throughout the area, you can easily find a predictable range of Beer Lao T-shirts. Like at all tourist markets, in Vientiane night market, English is widely spoken but because initial prices are always inflated, and you should never accept the first price quoted, be prepared to test your bargaining skills. An enjoyable few hours can be spent browsing and people watching down by the river even if you have already stocked up on souvenirs and are not really planning to buy anything. It may be the favorite pastime of Laotians.
