Morning Market, Vientiane (must see)

Morning Market, also known as Talat Sao, is one of the best shopping spots of the city with a great number of products to offer. The place is always full of locals and tourists wandering around. The market features numerous vendors selling local cuisine, fresh produce and small shops offering gold and silver accessories, silk items, clothing, musical instruments, electronics, wooden crafts and lots of other products. This market is an awesome place to purchase unique gifts and souvenirs.

Tip:
If looking for silk, go to where they weave it as you will then know it is genuine and not an imitation or made in China.
There is also an air-conditioned shopping mall in the area (the only one in Laos) for electronics, sports equipment, jewelry, etc.
