An expert will present you in details the process of production of the flowering plant, growing, harvesting, stem washing, extracting the fibers, spinning the yarn, dying and weaving the fabric. The Lotus Farm is a unique fair trade textile workshop in the world which manufactures lotus textiles while supporting vulnerable women. The textile is the most ecological fabric in the world as it does not require any petrol, gas, electricity or any chemicals during all the process. Following a circular economy, the process uses a waste-lotus stem- and creates a new waste that is then transformed into a recycled paper. Indeed, you will also find that the lotus plant is used for its best value.

  • Educational experience.

    The place is educational and informative however I booked a tour that they did not do. I booked a boat tour in the lotus fields and they did not message me to tell me that it was not going to happen. So we were disappointed to arrive to find out we were going to not be able to do what we booked. Then after paying in full on viator for the tour we didn’t receive, we were asked to pay 90 dollars to which I said no stating we paid for a tour we are not receiving. So they put us in doing crafts and a tour of the farm which again was educational but setting the expectation for what you paid for versus what you arrive to receive should be considered. The staff there were all friendly women and we have some souvenirs to take home which was nice. The products they make are luxury (299/scarf for example) - I would definitely say it is worth a visit.

    Overall it was a fun and enjoyable experience, but I did feel a bit rushed. I did not see how the things I did not make were made. I think we should have reminded them that we did not receive a tour. It was at the end of the day and I was not certain what time they close. We made a variety of lotus flower products which I really enjoyed. The paper needs time to dry so we paid to have a tuk tuk deliver it to the hotel. Unfortunately I forgot to tell them about the incense stick I made. They did give us a gift which included everything. The boat tour to the lotus field included the guides creating different lotus flower decorations and showing that the plant is also edible. It was pretty amazing how quickly they can transform the flower.
