If you are looking for something truly unique to do in Hoi An beyond the usual lantern shopping and tailor visits, Simple Candle offers one of the most hands-on, creative experiences in the Ancient Town — a real DIY candle making workshop where you are in full control.
What Makes Simple Candle Different?
Most candle workshops around Vietnam sell you a fixed package: pay a set price, follow a template, pour wax into a mold someone else designed. Simple Candle flips the script entirely.
Here, you walk in and choose everything yourself:
- Pick your wax — premium soy wax or natural beeswax
- Choose your fragrance — 100% USA-certified scents
- Pick your colors and mold shapes
- Pay only for the wax you actually use
Want to make a tiny 30g candle just to try? You can. Want to go all out with a big custom creation? Also you can. The Candle Lab equipment — silicone molds, tools, workspace — is completely free to use.
How Much Does It Cost?
This is where Simple Candle truly stands out. Because you only pay for the raw wax you use, the entry price can be as low as 20,000 VND (less than $1 USD). There is no fixed workshop fee, no “package” you have to commit to. It is pure pay-as-you-go creativity.
Premium Ingredients, Every Time
Simple Candle does not cut corners on materials. Every candle is made with:
- Natural soy wax + beeswax — clean burning, no toxic paraffin
- 100% USA-imported fragrances — certified, long-lasting, safe
This means your candle is not just a souvenir — it is a genuinely high-quality product you made with your own hands.
