The village is situated in Phuong Do Commune, less than 10 kilometers from the Northern province of Ha Giang. It has a tiny population of about 550 people. Only a total of 90 homes make up the whole neighborhood, traditional stilt houses made from wood and bamboo and with a palm-thatched roof. Thon Tha Village is perhaps one of your best manifestations of provincial, traditional life.

Reviews on Our Service

We are committed to giving our customers unforgettable experiences in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and beyond, not just something staged for tourists. Read reviews written by our customers about their experiences in Indochina after they have returned home. These include the ratings and comments on attractions, guides, activities, hotels and food.

Vietnam Holiday

Excellent travel arrangements, choices of hotels and tours. We travelled from the south to the north over a 10-day period. There are many things to see in Vietnam, therefore 10 days is limiting. Every part of Vietnam is a different experience, rich with history, amazing culture and delicious food.

Personally, I found the group tours to be far more palatable than the private ones. Adam, our travel coordinator was great with respect to curating the travel plan and keeping in touch throughout the trip.

A faultless excursion with Asia Pioneer Tours

We experienced Vietnam for the first time in a trip organised by Winston Dinh. With 4 diverse characters each with their own pecadillos Winston surpassed all reasonable expectations. From the 1st night at the Grand Peridot to our last night in the Majestic I could not fault any of his choices in either locations or the people who escorted us. I can only highly commend and recommend Winstons efforts on our behalf and wish hum and the team at Asia Pioneer Tours all the best. We will now return at some point in the near future.

Asia; Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore

We had a wonderful experience. Gina, from Asia Pioner Travel did an excellent job, she made a perfect schedule, everything was so well organized, all the places we visited were spectacular, all the guides she assigned were very kind, and knew the places perfectly. The whole logistic was very well done: flights, transportation, hotels, food. Gina gave it a good follow up since the first time we got in touch. She organized the whole trip based on our needs and favorite places to visit. We really enjoyed the trip and are very thankful to her and the company.
