Oh that's fantastic. You will love it here. Food is something that you find everywhere you turn. I've been here for 2 years and have not scratched the surface.
If it works in your plans, I'd be glad to show you my weekend market. We can look around and get some food. And of course - steemit photos.
The market is at MRT Sutthisan and goes on Sat and Sun from 3 pm to dark. It's all Thai people here - few tourists. Last year @world-travel-pro was in and out of this area and started staying in another hotel near me since he liked this neighborhood so much.
I'm in Laos for the first week of May, but free after that.
