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.
