We enjoyed the tour of the traditional Lao house. Lee was very welcoming and provided us with a pot of bael tea to start. The grounds are beautiful; cooler due to the abundant foliage, aesthetically lovely. We struggled through the weaving but the gem of the experience was the older gentleman who taught us to weave. Thong Meu (sp) was an excellent cooking teacher as was Air (sp) who was her translator and our guide there. We loved the 5 course menu and made both meat and vegetarian selections. A joy to share our meal with staff.
We signed our family of 5 up for this cooking class and it well exceeded our expectations. The instructors did a great job getting our kids involved and they taught us a lot about Lao food and culture. And the food was delicious. We cannot wait for them to send us the recipes. We will be sharing this class with our friends.
We greatly enjoyed our afternoon at Heuan Chan Heritage House. It was nice to learn a bit about Lao culture and have an opportunity to try the bamboo weaving prior the cooking class. Our guide, Mr. Kan, was very welcoming and the two cooks who helped with the food preparation were kind and patient. We are excited to bring what we learned back to our friends in the US! Overall, we would highly recommend this experience.
Everything about the class was great! From the venue (in the garden kitchen of a beautiful house), to the teacher who was charming and very patient, to the variety and number of dishes prepared our experience was excellent. We would greatly recommend this class to anyone looking to find out more about the elaborate Lao kitchen!
We had a great day. We discovered the different uses of bamboo, cooked and had a great time with the family. We highly recommend this activity. The people are welcoming and attentive.
At The Bamboo Experience we learned the traditional Thai dish which are very different from the food I usually have. The place their was very nice all built with bamboo. We enjoyed that evening very much. Yummy local food with joyful people surrounded.

Remember to remove shoes before entering the kitchen, respect the local kitchen’s hierarchy, and be prepared for a higher spice level than you might expect. Always greet the chef politely and thank them for their guidance.
