Not only were we taught how to prepare Laos food, but had a great time in the process. Very informative would highly recommend to anyone visiting Laos. Thank you Morven & Team..... More

My husband and I had a day to kill in Vientiane, so we went into Green Discovery and signed up for this Lao cooking class with Lao Experiences. The 1/2 day class way exceeded my expectations. The location was outdoor at a private person's home; our hostess was very gracious. The instructor was fantastic; excellent teacher and fun! We thoroughly... More

We did both the market tour and the cooking class. This half-day will remain as a major highlight of our 5-week trip in SE Asia. Tuk, the chef, was both very customer-oriented and extremely friendly. More

While searching for a restaurant, a lady driver along a busy street popped her head out of her car and asked if we are searching for something. When we mentioned the restaurant name, she offered us a... More
