Mrs Vandara Amphayphone, Owner

Mrs Vandara is a warm and motherly host with a love for Lao culture and tradition. She has at her fingertips a whole treasure trove of information about Lao culture and life in Luang Prabang. Her deepest passions are for food and textiles and she hopes that you will share in her joy for these pursuits and maybe try them out! Brought up in the Souan Mon Mulberry Gardens weaving area near Vientiane, she has been interested in weaving and the cultivation of silkworms for as long as she can remember. Having developed her weaving skills over the years, Vandara is Director of the Lao Textile Association of the Northern Provinces . She travels across northern Laos working on the protection and promotion of this fascinating art, which is a core expression of Lao culture. Mrs Vandara moved to the Luang Prabang area on marrying her husband, a local silversmith. With excellent English and French, she embraces running her guest houses as they are fantastic opportunities to share her love for Laos with people from around the world. Take part in her weaving classes, sample her teas and learn how to cook like a real Lao chef and this will be a guest house you will never forget your stay at. Mrs Vandara also owns the guest houses Villa Lane Xang and Vanvisa 2.
