The sources of inspiration, objectives and vision for the creation of the Pheuksa garden
Through his experience, the founder of Pheuksa Garden has had the opportunity to travel to help and meet people from various ethnic groups throughout Lao People's Democratic Republic. He discovered and learned more about the varied lifestyles and cultural traditions of the many ethnic groups in the Lao PDR, which is land to more than 50 distinct groups. It reflects an awareness of the diverse lifestyles, the cultural richness of ethnic groups, and the innovative use of various tools in their traditional livelihoods. From then on, the inspiration and objective were set to encourage students, and the general public—both nationally and internationally—to come, learn, experience, and discover the way of life, culture, and creative products of various ethnic groups coexisting in the same place. This ethnic village and Museum, marked by tribal diversity, was founded by Mr. Phouvong Phamisit with the support of experts from the government, the private sector, and representatives of almost every ethnic group in the country, providing accurate and diverse information that benefits visitors and learner. In the past, the founder spent more than 30 years collecting information on culture, housing, lifestyles, clothing, products, and equipment related to livelihoods and daily living. Finally, the villages and Museum representing various ethnic groups were constructed and completed in March 2024. The vision is to preserve the cultural traditions of different ethnic groups throughout Lao PDR, to strengthen solidarity among these groups so that they love and respect one another, and to enable future generations to perpetuate and preserve these traditions. Additionally, it aims to serve as a source of knowledge and anthropological education for interested people around the world, while generating income for various ethnic groups to help them improve their standard of living. Moreover, research is being conducted on the grounds of Pheuksa Garden on the cultivation of traditional medicinal plants and the production of traditional remedies aimed at promoting health and preserving traditional knowledge.
