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.
