Thuy lantern making class
Description
Thuy runs a lantern-making class out of a quieter corner of the old town, which means you actually get proper attention instead of being shuffled through a tourist conveyor belt. The family has been making lanterns for generations, and it shows – she walks you through each step with clear instructions and good English, and you pick your own fabric from a solid selection before you start.
The whole thing is relaxed rather than rushed. Good option for a rainy afternoon, a low-key date, or anyone who wants a souvenir they actually made themselves (rather than haggled for on Tran Phu Street).
