Laos Vientiane sao talad morning market is also open in the afternoons, funny name for it I suppose, probably open in the evenings as well, it is on Mahosot Road opposite one of the bus stations, sells the normal crap plus loads of electronic gear, also pirate dvds and that sort of stuff.

It is a pretty big market but the only thing I found of any interest was the jewelry repair stalls, that must be quite a skill.

The outside of the market area.

The sun shade or rain shade is too low for non Asians.

One of the jewelry repair stalls.

Not too crowded in the afternoons

Gold is said to be cheaper there versus Thailand...

False mobile fones for sale there, mostly not worth, to bad quality, just the look is copied but the functions differ greatly

The gold there isnt as good quality as it is here. From what I remember its more like the gold you get in the west, a lot duller.
