Wonderful and authentic experience

5.00We very much enjoyed the cooking class and the great food that we prepared with the help of Somsay and his family. The Baci ceremony was something very special for us, no fake and no strange feeling but very friendly people, deep believes and a warm atmosphere. We also liked the market and learned a lot about all the different herbs and how they are prepared and used. Thank you very much for this very special experience. We highly recommend it.
A highlight of our trip to Laos

5.00Great experience either way the Baci welcoming ceremony with people from the village, praying and chanting, followed by a delicious dinner of local dishes. The setting is beautiful and calm, about 10 min away from the noisy city center

5.00Incredibly personalized and authentic experience we absolutely loved!!! Every part was exceptional from visiting the market to being welcomed into someone’s home to learn and participate in a baci ceremony, We then went to an outdoor kitchen to help prepare the multiple course meal. It was all a once in a life time experience!!!
