tour description

Immerse yourself in a fascinating half-day authentic Lao Pottery and Village Experience. This excursion provides a behind-the-scenes look at ancient skills and techniques. English speaking locals, who know the village best, lead either a morning or afternoon tour. Pick up is from the hotel and guests are transported to the Pottery village (approximately 30 minutes).

Begin with a tour of the village and learn about traditional Lao life. Then observe as the artisans demonstrate the pottery techniques they use. After the demonstration, roll up your sleeves, get hands-on with the clay and have a go at making a piece! For kids, pre-made pots are available to paint.

Whether you choose the morning or afternoon workshop, a traditional Lao meal made from local ingredients is on offer. Savour the delicious specialities and chat with the local villagers about life in the village.

Say goodbye to your new friends and take a return transfer back to the hotel.
