Morning Market next to Royal Palace

Coffee at the Morning Market

At night LP has this huge night market selling Laotian chotchkes, tribal blankets and other backpackers' delights. Early in the morning, though, when said backpackers are dreaming of banana pancakes fresh off the griddle, there's another market, a real market, that opens up for locals. It's next to the Royal Palace and this cafe inside the market makes a mean cup of Vietnamese-style coffee, clotted with condensed milk.
