Oon Jai Marketplace — Restaurant in Vientiane Capital

Nice vegan place near the Thai embassy. Both my husband and I had a salad bowl and we both liked them a lot. We also both had a smoothie, but my husband drank both as I didn't like mine.

Lychee lemonade was a perfect addition to that! It’s so good to let yourself get lost in the new city...
