why night life in Laos almost non-existent?

Photo: Picnic at night in Vientiane

Do you know that Laos has a nation-wide curfew at midnight (some say 11.30 p.m.)?

Needless to say, nightlife was almost non-existent in the country save for a bowling alley that somehow managed to stay open well into the wee hours of the morning, or so I read. So, I assumed Laotians slept and woke up early the next morning (Well, I did.), but I was wrong.

I woke up before the damn ****erels crowed. By 6 a.m., I was out and about hoping to catch a glimpse of Vientiane’s morning street scene. There was nary a soul in sight. Disappointed, I strolled to Patuxai Park once again. On my way, I passed by Talat Sao (Morning Market). The gates were still locked shut. What an irony. No wonder, Lao PDR is affectionately known as Lao Please Don’t Rush. When in Lao, do what the Laotians do. Please don’t rush. Don’t be upset when the buses are behind schedule. Don’t be pissed when Laotians take their own sweet time. You’re, after all, in Laos. Stop and smell the roses.

I live in Australia, and believe me during working day of the week the streets are quiet, not many cars or people are around. The shopping areas closed at 6.00Pm. After midnight is quiet, you don't need a Curfew here, it's automatic like that, calm and quiet. If you hear people walk around and make noise, they say these people are on drug, Amphetamine or Ice=Crystal, and Crystal is more dangerous than Amphetamine.

Friday night things start to become crazy or noisy again, more vehicles are on the streets....Saturday night people go to club, staying up late...all of these are not nessary good for your health, just life style, staying up drink alcohol are not my ideal way of life, so if you are these sort of people then you may find LAO is boring at night.yawnhmmwink
