Mai Chau / Lac Village

Cycle the paddies and sleep in a stilt house in Mai Chau

About three hours' drive from Hanoi, this valley of rice fields is home to White Thai villages such as Lac and Pom Coong, where stilt-house homestays host guests. Cycle between the houses, watch weavers at their looms, try bamboo-tube rice and catch an evening folk music and dance show.
