Mai Chau has long been a destination for travelers in its beauty. The French soldiers, or so the story goes, would make special trips from their outpost at Dien Bien Phu in the far northwest reaches of Vietnam to the village ome 200 miles away.
The main draw-cards of Mai Chau Valley are the pristine fresh nature and the ability to find people from the colorful Thai culture. There are many villages that attract Vietnamese tourists, foreign travelers and expats from Ha Noi such as Lac Village, Pom Koong Village, Sam Khoe, Xo...to name a few.
