This is where your Mekong expedition truly begins.

Once there, you will witness a demonstration of a fascinating traditional craft: the distillation of Lao-Lao, the famous rice whiskey of Laos. Miss Somechan Khonpachith, who has perfected this art, will not only share the secrets of this ancient technique with you, but also invite you to a tasting.
