Immerse yourself in the local evening culture of Vientiane after a day of exploring the capital city! Visit the vibrant Vientiane Night Market by the riverside. This market comes alive as the sun sets. Rows of red-roofed stalls offer a treasure trove of goods, from clothing and electronics to sunglasses and Buddhist-inspired art. The refreshing breeze from the nearby Mekong River makes it a delightful shopping spot, and the colourful stalls create a charming atmosphere.

Indulge in souvenir shopping and try a local meal called sindat. This DIY Lao fondue experience features a hotpot with a grill section, combining the best of both culinary worlds. And what's a meal without a sip of the nation's famous beer? Wash down your sindat with a glass of Laos' legendary brew.

To cap off your evening, head to the Tipsy Elephant, a rare rooftop bar in this low-rise city. Enjoy a final drink while taking in the cityscape before returning to your hotel. It's an easy and engaging way to experience Vientiane's lively nighttime scene!
