Thung Khe Pass
Stop for scenic photo of Muong tribes at Thung Khe Pass. You also spectacular view of Mai Chau Valley. Thung Khe Pass is an impressive mountain pass in Mai Chau. You drive over this pass when you go to Mai Chau from Hanoi and head towards Moc Chau. Many people who driver over this pass don’t know the name but it is a very special ride. Close to the top of the mountain pass, you will find here a number of small restaurants and shops, with thatched roofs, a few tables, chairs and hot teapots ready for the guests who stop. These shops are close to the abyss and are also called the Thung Khe market. Buses from Hanoi often stop here for something to eat and enjoy the view. It can be very chill and when you are unlucky you are in the clouds so you don’t have a view. On the “market” you can buy food and things that come directly from the area.

Worst Tour Ever!

1.00Worst Tour We Have Ever Taken!!! Company didn’t contact us so I called them night before tour to confirm. They confirmed. This was a private tour for 2 with a driver and guide. The guide arrived with his brother wanting him to come along. There was no room in the 4 seat sedan car for another person and we said no! The guide had clearly never been to Mai Chau! He had not arranged a meal with a local family, did not have bike rentals confirmed and DID NOT KNOW THE AREA!!!!! He tried to use Google to find a bike route. He had no information to provide in depth information about local lives. Most disappointing tour ever! The tour lasted 10.5 hours only because of traffic while it was advertised for 12-13. Guide tried to throw in a couple cave stops but they weren’t open and were not ever on the itinerary. The driver got us there safely in wild traffic. Tour ended with guide saying we had a “compulsory tip” that he was required to return to the office. A day in Viet Nam that could have been amazing but was not!!!
