The market starts from 5:30 AM, almost dawn, and all vendors have finished setting up. Luang Prabang morning market focuses on fresh products such as live frogs, toads, fish, and especially various vegetables.
They sell in large quantities. Luang Prabang is a small World Heritage city without big department stores, so people have to come out daily to buy fresh food. Besides eating fresh vegetables and fish, it also helps preserve the fresh market so it won't disappear like big malls opening in other provinces in our country. Luang Prabang's morning market is not as famous as the market in Muang Xai, Oudomxay Province, where tourists rarely visit and the local way of life remains unchanged.
Though not familiar to tourists, Luang Prabang market is the largest city market among northern provinces of Laos. Actually, Vientiane is a much bigger city than Luang Prabang, but its fresh market is no longer traditional like Luang Prabang. Due to being a large market with diverse buyers, it looks livelier than other places I've been to. Therefore, if you visit Luang Prabang, you shouldn't miss walking through the fresh market in the morning. The atmosphere of Luang Prabang morning market.
At Luang Prabang morning market Throughout my trip exploring northern Laos, my favorite market was Sam Neua market. Even Lonely Planet recommends visiting it. I will write about Sam Neua market soon, so stay tuned. Sam Neua has a different charm from Luang Prabang. Sam Neua has almost no tourists, only locals, so you get another perspective. But Luang Prabang is a tourist city.
During this Luang Prabang trip, I encountered green beetles loudly chirping in the morning market. I didn't ask if buyers eat the beetles or use them for jewelry, but certainly, I have never seen them sold in Thai markets because beetles are disappearing in Thailand due to their wings being used for jewelry. Seeing many beetles sold in Luang Prabang is an indicator of the country's abundance.
Looking at fresh products in the market, bee larvae, and my eyes caught a two-tailed gecko. I just found it here for the first time. According to superstition and black magic beliefs, having a two-tailed gecko brings good luck in attracting the opposite sex. Some Thai masters tattoo geckos for charm purposes. The presence of two-tailed geckos sold in Luang Prabang
probably means they share similar beliefs about two-tailed geckos as in Thailand. If you visit Luang Prabang and feel unlucky in love, try buying one or two two-tailed geckos to take home; maybe your luck will improve. Two-tailed geckos Luang Prabang Luang Prabang market today is serious about forest product trade. No illegal forest products are sold here. If you observe trees, you will see signs prohibiting wildlife trade.
When I filmed the video, none were seen. They are serious about this, which is good for preserving forest products alongside the forest for a long time. After finishing the morning market walk, I recommend a coffee shop popular among Thai groups (see popular coffee shop map). This shop is well located on a street corner by the Mekong River, just a short walk from the morning market. This popular coffee and pho shop sells coffee and fried dough sticks, with a pho shop next door. Both are affordable,
delicious, and favored by both Thai and Lao people. I bought fried pork balls and sun-dried pork to eat with the pho here. Drinking Lao coffee and eating pho, this morning was saved. Luang Prabang fried dough sticks This is Lao coffee + Luang Prabang fried dough sticks Returning from photographing the morning market and taking you to eat pho and Lao coffee. Today's plan is to take you to Joma Coffee and then try delicious Nam Nueng near Vichun Temple. After eating, we will go up Phousi Hill to pay respects at Phousi Stupa and watch the sunset there.
Regarding today's Luang Prabang market walk, no matter how many years pass, Luang Prabang still has its charm for travelers. The value of visiting the World Heritage city of Luang Prabang is not only to see old houses and fresh markets but also the character of its people. Their warm hospitality to tourists is genuine and enduring. Luang Prabang remains a wonderful travel destination... Mr.Hotsia mr.hotsia recommends hotels in Luang Prabang, which is Luang Prabang Morning Market number 4.
Coffee + Pho shop I recommend. I like how they put fish on banana leaves, making it look appealing, especially the carp. It would be good for salty soup. This alley is next to Wat Mai; the white wall is the temple wall. This zone only has street vendors, no shops. On Buddhist holy days, vendors come to sell like this. The shop is in front of the morning market. The salty taste is a bit strong, best eaten with sticky rice. The fried pork balls are also salty and need sticky rice to taste good. I almost couldn't finish eating them with pho.
Lao coffee Luang Prabang Popular shop Don't forget to try it. The pho here is quite good. If you don't want MSG, remember to say "No MSG please". Morning atmosphere in Luang Prabang walking to the market. Luang Prabang morning market Fresh snakehead fish Fresh native fish, not farmed, with pointed heads. Selling vegetables, I guess they are pesticide-free. A cart selling rice porridge or rice soup in Luang Prabang market. Fruits in Luang Prabang are quite expensive. This shop looks familiar, like one I saw in Ban Huak. They call it Makari fruit tree.
