Hunting for Lao wild peppers (mak khen) & chilis in larger quantities: market recommendations?

hey everoyne!

I’ve been completely hooked with local Lao flavors lately, specifically the wild peppers (mak khen), local chilis, and local salt.

looking to buy in larger quantities rather than just picking up tiny souvenir bags at the night markets, but I’m a bit lost on where to start~

Does anyone know which local morning markets , or direct suppliers best for stocking up? i’m not looking for anything very corporate, just atuhentic local market stalls, village connections, or vendors who sell wholesale.

Even if it means traveling a bit out of Vientiane or contacting producers directly, i’d love any leads, market names, or tips you might have.

Kob chai der!
