Phosy Market
ຕະຫຼາດພູສີ
A large general market where locals do their everyday shopping. It sells dried goods, fabrics, household items and snacks, at prices lower than the night market.
Phosy Market is about 2 km southwest of the old town and is Luang Prabang's largest local market. It is divided into sections for fresh produce, dry goods, clothing and textiles, and food stalls. Here you can buy Lao coffee, dried river moss, bamboo baskets and fabric for traditional tube skirts, usually at prices well below those in the tourist areas. The market is liveliest in the morning. A tuk-tuk from the old town takes about 10 minutes, so agree on a round-trip price beforehand. The adjacent new market area is also worth a quick look.
