Rural life and responsible travel

Thai Hai Village

2 days, 1 nightsPrivate departureReference VN25
HanoiThai Nguyen

A working Tay village of relocated stilt houses where the residents actually live, and where a night costs the community something back. Short, close to Hanoi, and among the more honest cultural stops in the north.

Day by day

Day one

Hanoi to Thai Hai

Up to Thai Nguyen with the ethnology museum on the way. A walk through the village, lunch prepared the Tay way, a craft session and a herbal foot soak, then music from the villagers after dinner. The night is in a stilt house.

Lunch, dinner included
Day two

Tea country, then Hanoi

A morning stroll, then out to a tea-growing family to watch the leaf worked by hand and taste it fresh before driving back.

Breakfast included
