If you are looking for accomodation in Mai Chau, look no further. Tan Ha Homestay was really amazing. Thank you for your hospitality, delicious food and a "Happy Water". I will never forget that and I promise I will come back one day... I wish you all the best for the future.

This could be my best photo ever. This girl was performing a beautiful morning dance with her umbrella. It was truly a magical moment... Really smooth and gentle moves, like she was born to do it! She freezes and hides under the umbrella as soon as she sees me with the camera and then she run away... :/ I am absolutely sure, if she practices, she will be a great dancer in the future, with this natural talent. Will she allow me to take a shot then? Time will show..

Can you tell what her facial expression says? I think she is actually trying to give me a smile but maybe she is shy?

This is actually a shop with a double bed inside. Home and a shop for a local traders and their families. Very nice people, bring them a gift or tip them if you are planning trekking in this area... They may need all sorts of even very basic contribution. Every little helps and makes a difference. This region is not accessible by vehicles. We have seen an elderly woman walking 25K+ (one way) to one of the bazaars in the valleys to buy some necessities and carry it back to the village. Respect. Please help if you can. These people really have very little... Bá Thước district, Thanh Hóa Province.

These hosts are very authentic. I will never forget the hospitality, food and the... hectolitres of "Happy Water" ;) I would recommend this place. It is in the heights so expect some moderate trekking. It's well worth it...
