In Ban Phan Louang village, Garden of Eden is a teeny–tiny wonder on the other side of a bamboo bridge. Here, not only can you purchase one-of-a-kind jewellery, but even create necklaces, bracelets, and earrings of your own by following instructions from local artisans. The balcony overlooking the river is as dazzling as the jewellery displayed.
