New Thongkhankham market rises from the ashes
The building that will house the new Thongkhankham market in Chanthabouly district, Vientiane, is now 50 percent complete and it is expected the whole complex will be finished by the end of this year.
The modern five-storey complex and its two underground parking levels are a far cry from the rambling structure that was razed to the ground when a fire swept through it in May 2014.
Lao World Public Company (Lao World) is the project developer and its Board Manager Mr Khamphone Phonekeo told Vientiane Times last week the first and second floors would sell fresh food including fruit, vegetables and meat.
