Traveler Reviews

Wir hatten einen abwechslungsreichen Tag mit tollen Einblicken in die laotische Kultur. Das Weben hat uns besonderen Spass bereitet. Ausserdem konnten wir mit einer Art Armbrust schiessen, einen typischen Tanz sowie diverse Spielsachen aus Bambus ausprobieren. Das Kochen, auch wenn man nicht ganz alles selber machen kann, hat total Spass gemacht. Das Essen war sehr lecker, was von den typischen Essgewohnheiten unterstrichen wurde. Der Staff war total freundlich, aufgeschlossen und lustig. Total empfehlenswert, wenn auch nicht ganz günstig.

The workshop includes transportation from and back to our hotel. A thumbs-up to the interesting program lined up on the day. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable in sharing the tradition and culture of Laos related to bamboo. Surprisingly, they are able to converse in rather good English. We enjoyed the activities especially the crossbow shooting practice, and not forgetting the yummy dishes served during lunch. It is a good experience for family of all ages. Last but not the least, thank you for offering to send my son to the hospital when he was unwell during the workshop. We appreciate the nice gesture from Somsay and staff.
