Lon Wood Workshop — Local services in Luang Prabang

I came to this place as it was recommended to me by my hostel where I stayed and am I glad I went.

This is a really cool place and workshop where you can make your own wooden products. They allow you to choose a product that they made before and you then make that product. I myself made two pair of wooden chopsticks and it really sucked me in. Before i knew it I was busy for multiple hours just trying to perfect my chopsticks.

They dont know English the best but thats no issue at all. But with the English they know they can help you more then enough.

Would definitely recommend this place to anyone that likes to make things them...

Truly a one-of-a-kind experience with the most careful, thoughtful, and talented family and craftspersons. I made kitchen utensils and my friend made a small custom wooden box over the course of 5 hours for $30 (in total, for both of us) with their great instruction and guidance. They were incredibly kind, patient, and helpful the entire time and even provided us with water and some snacks during the session. They were very responsive over Facebook when we scheduled to come in. Could not recommend more! A must-do in...

We spent most of the day with Mr. Lon working on carvings that slowly transformed from a block of wood to elephants. We used traditional tools to complete our designs. Mr. Lon does not speak much English but a few locals from around came to translate for us in the beginning to get us started, however Mr. Lon knew basic words to get by throughout the rest of the day. It was incredible watching this come to life. A great souvenir to bring back home. I strongly encourage taking a day...
