When you come to Laos, you have to
go shopping and buy Lao souvenirs because there are many
things from Laos, which are different from place to
place and you will never find in other countries in the
world. If you want to buy something, look at details
below and you will have some idea of what to get:
Lao skirts (or
Sinh): beautiful, unique and elegant. You can
buy them at markets in every province from the north to
the south, especially Morning market in Vientiane,
handicraft shops and souvenir shops. The design is
different from places to places. So if you are an exotic
fabric collector, be sure to get 'sinh' from different
places.
Lao cotton and silk: pure and gorgeous, if you are interested, you can go to Lao Cotton company, Morning market and Lao clothing shops.
Lao handicraft: wonderful and charming, most of them are made by wood, cotton and rotten. Good places for buying them are souvenir shops in central of Vientiane, handicraft shops all over the country.
The picture of Tip Khao (sticky rice basket) that you are seeing on your right is something that you have to get as it represents the real Lao lifestyle. Lao people normally eat sticky rice.
