Ban Huak Border Market
A border market where goods and wild-gathered food from both sides meet.
The Thai–Lao border market at Ban Huak sits about 5 kilometres from the Phu Sang National Park headquarters, and is where people from both sides of the border meet.
Worth a browse: seasonal wild produce, barometer earthstar mushrooms, bamboo shoots, herbs, woven cloth, basketry, and local Tai Lue–Lao food. Prices are modest, and you get to talk to the sellers directly.
Highlights
- Seasonal wild produce
- Woven cloth and basketry
- The food of both Mekong banks in miniature
