Le TAEC fut fondé en 2006 pour ouvrir ses portes en juillet 2007, organisant des expositions sur la culture ethnique Lao, mettant aussi à disposition un magasin proposant des produits artisanaux et un café orienté gastronomie ethnique. Durant les 4 premières années, le TAEC a accueilli près de 40.000 visiteurs, et s’est rapidement imposé comme un des hauts points de la conservation du patrimoine et du développement des communautés locales.

The New Year Celebration starts on the morning of the first day of the new year and may last three or more days.

Hmong girls are wearing their most elaborately embroidered new outfits.
