Just a peek of Dongpalane which is one of the biggest suburb/village in Vientiane, Laos. My home is located in this area which is why I tend to enjoy being in the city than the rural areas of Laos.

There's usually a lot of traffic during peak hours. The Morning Market, a big shopping center, is only a short walking distance away.

They are Lao Buddhist style coffins to hold ashes.

These coffins are found in every Buddhist temples where they keep the remains of the dead.

Every Buddhist Laotians are cremated when we pass away. I will be placed into something similar to those last two photos one day.

Motorcycle taxi drivers do not have any right-of-way privileges in Laos.

In Laos, the amount the customer must pay in order to get to their destination is already agreed with the driver before you can hop onto the motorcycle, tuk tuk and jumbo, so there is no need for them to speed or take you through the longest route.

You are required to wear a helmet in Laos but most of the time people can get away with it. If you are stopped by the police, just give them some money and you're right to go. It's as simple as that.

Any traffic congestion is only in Vientiane, the capital city of Laos. Traffic is not bad, most traffic occurs during peak hours in the morning and late afternoon.
