Bring small kip notes to the Morning Market

Anouk B · Morning Market, Luang Prabang · 1d 15h ago

Bring small kip notes when you go to the Morning Market. Most of what is sold there came in from villages around the town, often that same morning, and the stallholders start the day with very little change. Baht and dollars are sometimes taken, but a big note for a bag of fruit makes everyone stop and search their pockets. I like to know how a thing arrived before I buy it, and here the answer is usually a truck and a long drive. Small kip notes, early, and a bit of patience.
