Overview

From important handicrafts to delicious dishes, bamboo plays a hugely important role in the lives of Laotians—and this hands-on workshop will teach you how to weave and cook with bamboo like a local. Meet in the morning at your Luang Prabang hotel, and transfer to the scenic bamboo craft studio. Begin with a bamboo-weaving session before watching several cooking demonstrations.
