Thai-Lao Open-Border Market is a biweekly affair which witnesses the movement of hundreds of Laos’s people who cross the river to shop and sell their products. Nakhon Phanom itself is famous for silks and other handicrafts which are produced in Laos-style in many of its villages, yet this market is popular despite the fact that it also offers the same things as other Thailand markets.
However availability of things like roots, honey, bats, other animals and orchids makes it unique and apart from various other Thai markets.
