The 7 Largest Local Market in Vientiane

Localbiz Cover

Generally quite an interesting place to see, but nothing really stands out. Wouldn’t really call it a market per se, more of a shopping mall. The mall generally sells clothes and bags, though there are quite a lot of miscellaneous items being sold too. Quite a tall building too. There are some food trucks outside selling, which more closely resembles a market

Talat Sao Market in Vientiane offers a vibrant and bustling shopping experience. Visitors appreciate the diverse array of goods, from traditional Lao handicrafts and textiles to electronics and local snacks. Bargaining is common, adding a lively element to the shopping process. Some note that the market can be crowded, so patience is key. Overall, it’s a great place to explore for those looking to immerse themselves in the local culture and find unique souvenirs in Vientiane.

Huge plaza with 6 floors. On the 5th just a few shops were open and 6th looked derelict. You can buy here most of those things you can see in local markets. Handcrafts and antics. Or even jewelry on the 4th floor. But mainly many cheap fake goods like Cuggi sandals and Chanle bags. It’s interesting to see, but does not have a good vibe. It is just a huge old plaza with many shops where you can you buy stuff cheap.

Food section is not for tourist. Cold noodle soup, very unhygienic, very bad meat quality. Local place.

Was expecting a traditional market of local produce etc but more a shopping mall. Still good for a short walk to see some local fabrics and Laotian attires but nothing more than 30mins to finish a stroll around. There’s a few street stalls outside that feels more like a market though.

    The location, vibe, and no mosquitoes was great and so is the pleasant night-time temperature… but, as all the other disappointed tourists mentioned, the stalls are very repetitive very cheap and fake clothes, sunglasses, etc. There is close to no food there. So I walked all the way the other end of the park where there is supposed to be a Night Food Market… it was quite small and they pretty much all served the same local food, which was only ok, but of course at a low price.

    Quite a long stretch of stalls, and the crowd is relatively heavy. Seems like a place for the locals to buy goods that they need (the stalls predominantly sell clothes, shoes, bags, accessories). However, most of them are fake goods (e.g. ZAPA, Galwin Klein, or goods with luxury brand names but are fake).
