Lao Pride Forum - Mekong riverside night market in Vientiane, Laos

Preparations in the late afternoon for the Mekong riverside night market in Vientiane, Laos.

The outdoor night market is located along the Mekong river, and opens daily from late afternoon to well into the night so tourists can find something to eat in many choices of restaurants in the area, and then maybe do a bit of shopping or look at some of the souvenirs that Laos has to offer.

Or a seasonal market? It appears to be very clean and orderly. Approximately how many vendors are there? Do they musicians or any other entertainers?

The market seems quite interesting, are there small food carts or ice-cream stalls?

I usually read in a careful manner, so I was chagrined by my own inattentiveness. I noticed the Japanese Samurai Pizza shop; Do Lao people eat Pizza with unusual ingredients; e.g. squid, corn, squirrel, etc.? Have eaten these and many other strange toppings myself!

Squirrel limited to Ozark Mountains, U.S.A. Actually Corn is exotic topping to Americans. I assume the market has vendors who sell fresh fruit drinks, etc. Also I noticed very few men smoking cigarettes. Do many Laotian men smoke cigarettes?
