Set in an idyllic valley, hemmed in by hills, the Mai Chau area is a world away from Hanois hustle. The small town of Mai Chau itself is unappealing, but just outside the patchwork of rice fields rolls out, speckled by tiny Thai villages where visitors doss down for the night in traditional stilt houses and wake up to a rural soundtrack defined by gurgling irrigation streams and birdsong. Discover the culture and lifestyle of Thai people who live in this part of Vietnam. Enjoy the beautiful landscapes of the Mai Chau valley while cycling through villages and rice fields.
