When you visit Whiskey Village (Ban Xang Hai) you can actually enjoy the shot (or several) of Lao-Lao, the national rice whiskey as to how it is made right from the production to package and then finally decide which one is your final pick. Although it sounds a bit absurd the speciality of this place is having all sorts of snakes, insects and bugs which is used and fermented and mixed with the whiskey and sold in various shaped bottles. The other interesting part is you will also get to see The Lao Silk which is also woven live in front of you by the locals. so you can buy fabrics and other crafts here.
Whiskey Village (Ban Xang Hai) is situated on the banks of the Mekong, roughly 12 miles (20 kilometres) by road from Luang Prabang and 4 miles (6.5 kilometres) by boat from the Pak Ou Caves. It’s more fun to visit by boat as part of a Mekong River cruise, and this is how most of the travellers prefer. Tour boats depart from the pier close to Saffron Café in Luang Prabang.
