Part 1: Rice Farming Experience and Lao Lunch
Begin your full-day journey with hands-on rice farming at the Kuang Si Heritage Rice Farm. Select seeds, help sow or transplant seedlings, learn an indigenous salt trick for choosing healthy grains, plow a paddy behind a water buffalo, and practice transplanting or harvesting under the guidance of local farmers.
After threshing and winnowing, enjoy a farm-to-table lunch served in an authentic Lao house. Taste sticky rice you helped prepare, hear stories of water sharing and seasonal life, and experience hospitality that returns value directly to the community.
