[2024 Vientiane Attraction] Travel Guide for Lao Textile Museum (Updated Oct)

Lao traditional textiles museum

#grouptravel Address: Ban Nongtha Ta, Chanthabuly District, Vientiane, Laos. This small museum used to be privately owned by a local family who also own the Kanchana Boutique. Nowadays, it has morphed to become one of the key cultural sights in Vientiane and is located around a gorgeous little Laotian compound. Here you will find a typical wooden house which is filled with ancient weaving tools and looms, and there are also antique textiles here that represent the various ethnic groups in Laos. Nowadays, they also open a textile painting class for all the visitors who would like to learn and experience on it#laos #gooutside #textile

Museum quest

A local family used to run this modest museum, which is now home to the Kanchana Boutique. It has now evolved into one of Vientiane's most important cultural attractions, and is now centered on a lovely little Laotian complex. A typical wooden house stocked with ancient weaving tools and looms, as well as historical fabrics representing the numerous ethnic groups in Laos, can be found here. You can also take a textile painting lesson if you want to get your hands dirty. #tripinspired#historicculture#summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

Although the museum is located far from the city center, I highly recommend paying a visit. It is privately owned by a family, I was greeted by Tina who accompanied me during the visit to explain to me the different textile techniques (and invited me to try some), the traditional costumes and the dyeing techniques. The explanation were very informative. #GiveThanks
