In Vientiane, next to the Talat Sao (Morning Market) there's Talat Kuadin where a wide selection of goods and prices are found. In fact, a lot of locals prefer Kuadin over Talat Sao.
While visiting I noticed this little stall near the parking area. It's a small veneration or prayer area. It caught my attention because I didn't expect to find it in the middle of a market and also because it was quite pretty.
The water shooting nak (naga) fountain was my fave. Additionally, the area was a adorned with a variety of Buddhist images and iconography including Buddha statues, hermit Pa Leusi, Nang Kuak, and Nang Tolani, and a few others.
I suspect that this is specifically for the vendors to pray at while they wish for lots of sales and money.
