Located in the northwest of Vietnam, the Mai Chau Valley is an idyllic panorama, where a patchwork of rice fields unfolds a landscape dotted with tiny villages and farms. The villagers are mostly White Thai, distantly related to tribes in Thailand, Laos and China. Most no longer wear traditional dress, but the Thai women are masterful weavers producing plenty of traditional-style textiles. This scenic walk will take you through peaceful Thai ethnic minority villages of Na Phon, Na Meo, Sam Pa, Cha Long and Chieng Sai, surrounded by picturesque hills, cascading rice terraces and soaring limestone mountains.
