Thai Hai Eco-Tourism Village recognized as world's best by UN Tourism

Thai Hai Eco-Tourism Village, located in Thai Nguyen province, Vietnam, has been recognized by UN Tourism as one of the best tourism villages in the world. The village, also known as the Thai Hai Ethnic Stilt House Eco-Tourism Village Conservation Area, spans 25 hectares and features 30 traditional stilt houses belonging to the Tay and Nung ethnic groups.

Development of the site began in 2003, transforming a once-barren area into a lush ecological space. Visitors to the village can experience authentic Tay culture, including traditional Then singing, tasting local leaf wine, and learning about customs such as washing with water from ancient wells. The village is situated approximately 10 km from Thai Nguyen city center and 70 km from Hanoi.
