Looks like a marketplace. Vientiane had a large morning market, where throngs of shoppers, would gather to purchase fresh food and other provisions for the day, including marijuana, which staple remained legal at the time...or so I've heard!

All population centers of any size had similar markets, especially other Mekong river towns such as Thadeua, Pakse, Savannakhet and the former Royal Capital of Luang Prabang. But if I had to guess, I'd say this probably is the Vientiane market.

Here's a modern photo of the Morning Market in Vientiane.

Best regards,

Bill H.

Guess the fact that a photo link checks out fine when previewing one's response is no sign it'll stick around. Suppose you'll have to Google "Vientiane Morning Market" personally.
