Amid the tranquil valley of Mai Chau, where stilt houses nestle beside rice fields and green bamboo forests, there is a small haven called Little Mai Chau Homestay. Its owner, Ha Thi Huong, a Thai ethnic woman from Na Chieng Hamlet, Na Phon Commune (now Mai Chau, Phu Tho Province), is the one who has brought the essence of her mountainous homeland onto the international tourism map.
