Amazing Location of Tho Ha

The Tho Ha Village has a beautiful location with low mountains to the north and with the other sides almost surrounded by river – the Cau River or Nhu Nguyet River and. Villagers are most required to cross the river by boat for their work outside of the village.

Amazing Traditions at Tho Ha

Tho Ha used to have a several-century old tradition of making pottery starting from the 12th century and experiencing the height during the 14th century. The legacy is visible in the village nowadays: old houses with walls made of broken pottery. Nowadays villagers have other occupations: making rice papers, crab-rice papers and rice noodle.

Where to Stay

Tho Ha Village is a small village without homestay or accommodation to visitors and so there aren't many accommodation options nearby either.
