Heuan Chan Heritage House — Attraction in Luang Prabang

An undiscovered gem, I was the only Traveller here. A refurbished traditional house with more information than its National Museum. Learn about their house visiting ceremonies, the morning alms, dress code, instruments to even culinary arts!

There is a small cafe with well at the back and a wash room. Do not turn left into the monastery as one of the dogs will bark at you and rile up the other dogs and monks…

🌿 Entrance Fees Comes in 3 pricing: • 10K Kip to ‘Walk Around’ (Pretty useless & I’ve asked them to remove this. It’s more for the locals who wanted to rent the traditional dress and take photos I think) • 30K Kip for the ‘Walk Around’ + Museum of the traditional house • 40K Kip for the above plus 1 soft drink (She tried to upsell me this 😂) They actually have traditional herbal teas which you should definitely try instead of drinking unhealthy sodas which has no cultural experience nor nutritional value.

Just top up 10K (Total 50K) to get Iced herbal teas like: Butterfly pea / Pandan / Lemongrass / Bael / Roselle. They are eco friendly and uses...

A lovely little sanctuary tucked away behind the busy main streets. They run short art and craft courses here as well as cooking classes, there’s the museum itself and a cafe and actually just walking around the garden is relaxing and free! I recommend doing a one-hour course for 80,000 Kip which includes a mulberry tea, bottled water, museum entry (which otherwise will cost you I think 20,000) and whatever art or craft you make. I did the paper making class which was really interesting and relaxing, strangely therapeutic!! Although the class is “one hour” your paper creations will need a few hours (actually, more like 24 hours) to dry... so don’t be like me and leave it to your last day right before you pack and hop in your taxi and head to the airport! Do it at least a day before you leave...

Amazing experience! There are waterfalls and caves in orher places but no other place like this in Luang Prabang, where you can see a historic Lao house, understand history and customs. And the highlight was learning how to make mulberry paper, decorated with flowers and leaves, with Mr. Kham. It is an opportunity to learn about an ancient Lao craft and learn about his interesting life and how he learned to speak English so well. This was a highlight of my Laos trip and I am grateful to Mr. Kham and the staff for their dedication. For those into selfies, you can rent a Lao outfit with jewelry, and even a photographer. You can also learn other crafts like bamboo weaving. Restaurant on grounds was good and you get 10 percent discount with admission. Beautiful setting...
