Nighttime In Vientiane

Darkness falls and fun stuff emerges at night in Vientiane.

Outdoor fashion show featuring little kids. They grow up quick in Laos.

Streetlight of nothing, the Mekon and Thailand in the background. Laughing it up for Coca-Cola.

Night market stall, a two dog operation.

Toys for the night, water buffalo and glowing princess.

Frog mascot, trying to get motivated for the crowd. Tough task.

Wat Chanthaboury

Wat Chan for short. The Buddhist temple complex is located in the old downtown area, right on the main drag facing the water. Good location, nice patina to the place.

Golden grounds.

Memorial stupas and a tomb detail.

A look inside one of the temples.

Pick your paper prayer, maybe say one for the big, white mouse (rat?).

Tall walking Buddha, always looming over the flock.
