One of the best things we did on our trip was spend a night in a traditional Vietnamese hut on stilts that belonged to a hill tribe 'White Thai' family in Mai Chau. As it was low season we had a huge hut to ourselves, ate the wondeful food cooked by the wife of the owner and enjoyed their warm hospitality. In the evening some White Thai women performed a traditional dance in the hut which we joined in with at the end!
The atmosphere at night is fantastic. I loved going to sleep to the sound of crickets outside our hut and waking up to a beautiful sunrise the next morning. Highly recommended!
