Hmong Market at Luang Prabang



The Hmong Ethnic Night Market for Tourists
Luang Prabang
Laos (Republic of Lao)
Background of the famous temple, Wat Haw Kam at the back
Visited Feb 2007

The tribal market mainly sells ethnic clothes and tribal ware of the Hmong people. I bought a beautiful ethnic bed spread which weighed 3kg. Hard bargaining is needed as these Hmong people are used to European tourists who are not so skilled at bargaining. Usually take 70% off their asking price.
