The modern village is an unappealing sprawl, but as you immerse yourself in the rice fields and rural living, it turns out to be a real paradise. This stunning area is home of White Thai ethnic group, distantly related to tribes in Thailand, Laos and China.<\/p>\n<p>Although most locals no longer wear traditional dress, the Thai women are the masterful weavers who ensure that there is plenty of traditional \u2013 style clothing to buy in the village center. You will see women weaving on looms under or inside their houses when wandering around the village. Much of the silk looks similar to that seen in Laos. The Thai people of Mai Chau are less likely to employ strong-arm sales tactics than their H\u2019mong counterparts in Sapa: Polite bargaining is the norm rather than endless haggling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Highlight:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Visit to Hang Pagoda (Ancient Cave pagoda)<\/li>\n<li>Visiting a Muong ethnic minority village to see stilt-house and their lives.<\/li>\n<li>Lac Village and walking through some White Thai villages to see people making traditional dresses and stools<\/li>\n<li>take a short walk to the Muong minority village.
