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 bamboo straws. ☺️

Very nice place to visit with a calm & peaceful environment ideal for a bit of rest while sipping coffe or drinks. Interesting although limited amount of historical items which sit in the traditional building's environment well. They have the option to dress in traditional clothes and take photos in various spots and settings in the garden and house. The staff who deals with the dressing though, didn't seem very keen to do their job and acted like we were bothering them by wanting to pay for their services. That's the only thing they should work on, and the only reason for 4/5 rating. The than that, cool place to visit.

This is a small museum, it has a model of traditional Laos houses and small booths for handcrafted workshops, all are traditional. So it gives you a glance of how native Laos look like. But for me, I would say I expected more than that, at least the scale of the exhibitions and the variety could be much more to represent Laos people. Just so you know what to expect. But overall, it’s a pleasant visit. Museum offers Laos traditional clothes renting. Make sure to check the workshop hours before visiting so you can join the activities.

This was a unique experience enjoyed with new friends and great bamboo weaving teachers. This little sanctuary offers a lot of classes and history for those interested. I never thought I’d join a bamboo weaving class but I’m happy I did, even though it was confirmation that I won’t quit my day job haha. Everyone was very patient and eager to teach! The heritage house was especially interesting as it has stood stood and been preserved for over one hundred years. A must see for a little extra cultural experience.

The cooking class was an unique experience that you must do in LP! The cook explains you every dish in detail, using the traditional Lao techniques and new methods also. We did 6 different dishes and shared everything afterwards with a nice talk! During the class (4hs) you are provided with fresh drinks and tea and you also get a guided tour in the museum. I took it in the afternoon, which is a good idea because of the hot weather. If you are in LP, you can't miss it!

We did the $10 bamboo/hr weaving course, which was very interesting and quite challenging. Our instructor was very patient with our slow progress and managed to rescue our crafts when we broke the bamboo 😅. After the class he gave us a personal tour of the house and was very knowledgeable of its history, happily answering our questions. Overall we ended up spending 1.5 hours with him, beyond even the original schedule. Great time, would recommend.
