This is the Post Office Building of Phnom Penh, which was originally constructed in 1894. The building was completely renovated in 2004, and it reflects the distinctive style of French architecture.
Directly in front of the Post Office Building is L’Hotel Manolis, which was built in 1910. At that time, it was the only luxury hotel in Phnom Penh.
After the fall of the Khmer Rouge regime, people returned to the city and used the hotel as a place to live, according to whatever means they could afford. Unfortunately, over time, the hotel fell into a severely deteriorated condition. Only the ground floor has been beautifully renovated and restored, giving it an elegant and luxurious appearance.
One of the most interesting street foods you can discover in Vientiane is Fetal Duck Eggs, or Fertilized Duck Eggs. Affordable, filling, and rich in nutrients, and they also make a popular snack among locals.
