Shopping
Shopping in Luang Prabang is a wonderfully rewarding pastime. Don't miss the fresh produce market near the Mekong in Ban Pakam. It's an authentic slice of Laotian life, and best visited in the early morning. The night market opens at dusk each day in the centre of town near Wat Mai. Check out the Baan Killy gallery for high-quality Lao paper crafts, housed in a building that is itself a work of art. Good places to buy quality fabrics are CAMACrafts and Mulberries above Joma bakery, and Erawan Arts which sells exceptional handicrafts from its magnificent 100-year-old premises. The best Laos souvenirs are cotton fabrics, embroidery, carvings and jewellery. Bargaining is expected. Don't be tempted to buy relics as it is illegal to trade in antiquities.- Questions about Laos - safety, malaria tablets
