We were in Luang Prabang for the New Year’s celebration (April 2013). You may read about New Year’s in Laos and you may have seen pictures but it does not compare to being there for the three day festival. If you are in Luang Prabang for the New Year, be prepared to get wet, laugh a lot and have the... More

We went to this market a few times, once at night. It stretches for quite a distance and provides repeating multitudes of vendors selling various tourist items. I don't know if many local people shop here. Near the cross street at the beginning of the market area, there were vendors selling food but not within the market itself.

Local & Hmong handicrafts, textiles, art and souvenirs - the Luang Prabang night market has something for everyone. Once you have finished shopping, make your way down the food alley for some of the cheapest food in town. Barbequed chicken breasts were a favourite of ours.

If you are looking for local/traditional food...forget the sit-down restaurants, THIS is the place to go! After browsing, shopping and bartering in the extensive tent market, look for the alley (towards the river) of food vendors--incredible variety & value!

Stayed here for 3 nights and night market isn't to be missed. We think this is an average night market compares to other night markets we have visited. We found similar stuffs on sales and they are all selling the same things. Usually re clothes, scarfs, jewelry. Nothing so special about it but because there aren't many other things to... More

Lots of stalls with lots of stuff; pretty much all the same though. We found the local shops in LP to be much more inviting with higher quality goods.

This night market feels so clean compared to the markets in Thailand. The sellers aren't pushy. My only complaint is that I constantly had to duck under the metal bars of the awnings. The buffet for 10,000 kip is an amazing deal and is delicious. If you're on a budget it is hard to beat the deal. The goods are... More

This night market is not much different from the other night markets in Asia. Laotian handicrafts are sold there. To me the greatest attraction is the food alley which is a fork from the main street of the market. there are numerous food stalls which sells local affordable food. Most of the stalls offer all-you-can-grab meals. For 10,000 kips (US1.25),... More

Nothing to rave about. This is a lovely town with so many excellent shops and galleries that I wonder why bother with another tourist market. Well I suppose it's something to do of an evening. But really this place is so nice it doesnt really need this.
