Take the opportunity during your visit to learn about the White Thai ethnic group (Thái Trắng), the primary inhabitants of the Mai Chau valley. Observe their unique stilt house architecture, designed to avoid floods and keep animals below, learn about their wet rice farming traditions, and admire their intricate weaving skills.

Engaging with homestay hosts, visiting local villages like Lac and Pom Coong, and watching cultural performances provides valuable insight into the history, customs, and daily lifestyle of the Thai people in Mai Chau.
