The handwritten POP and retro scales add a nice touch!
Walking through a chaotic morning market filled with colorful and diverse foods
The charm of Talat Khuadin in Vientiane is that it is a genuine open-air market.
The abundance of vegetables, fruits, and fresh produce gathered in a large space without even a single parasol is astonishing, but the sheer number of shoppers there is overwhelming. What's more, this huge event only lasts for about three hours in the morning. Once 8 o'clock rolls around, it returns to the bare concrete valley as if nothing had happened.
As I was taking photos, I noticed that there were very few women wearing thins (Lao skirts). Thins are the standard attire that must be worn at official occasions in Laos. They all just woke up? Seeing them all go shopping in their own style was interesting, as it felt like I was getting a glimpse of the real Laotian people.
