Monument Toys is the newest toy store in Vientiane. However, it is owned and operated by the same people of Monument Books, which has been around for quite some time.

Monument Toys has the largest building and the largest variety of toys when compared to the other two stores in town, ABC Toys and Xang Noi Books & Toys. The store is the closest you will get to a Toys-R-Us in Vientiane.

The prices are quite reasonable as well. Most of the toys we checked in the store had prices comparable to what you would find on the Internet.

Below are a few items (not a comprehensive list) that Monument Toys carried that we haven’t seen in the other stores:

• Barbies
• Legos
• Hot Wheels
• Plan Toys
• Schleich Figures

To get to Monument Toys, go down Rue Setthethirath and look for the store on your right across from Wat Si Meuang.

Open Monday through Saturday from 9am to 8pm
Sunday from 9am to 6pm
