Located in an idyllic valley and isolated from rush traffic often seen in nearby cities, Mai Chau is a world into itself. The small town is a rural soundtrack defined by murmuring irrigation streams and birdsong.
Witnessing a lovely tranquil rural landscape and exploring a rare haven, situated near the lush tribal villages of the ethnic minority groups, mostly the White Thai people, surrounded by lush rice paddies, the rhythm of life passes slowly and for moments you escaped from daily worries and sorrows.
From sightseeing to recreational activities like biking, hiking and relaxation, Mai Chau fits the bill nicely. Local markets also contribute to the highlights with plenty of traditional clothes and souvenirs meticulously woven by the Thai women.
Locals do not employ strong-arm sales tactics here: polite bargaining is the single rule. Even those interested in learning about local culture and customs have options, like watching the traditional dance performance, or joining in; watching the locals spin their silk and weave it into spectacular patterns.
