White Thai Speak Hotsia: A deep experience with the lifestyle of the White Thai people in Mai Jou village
Hello, I'm Mr.Hotsia. Today, I will take everyone to meet the White Thai people in Mai Jou village, a small town hidden in Hoa Binh province of Vietnam. This is a place where I had the chance to stay and closely experience the lifestyle of the locals. The special part was when I asked the villagers to say “Hotsia, travel with joy,” which is my slogan to share the fun from this trip. The friendliness and warmth of the people here left a lasting impression on me.
Mai Jou village is a community of White Thai people who have strongly preserved their customs, traditions, and language despite being in Vietnam. Most villagers live simply but are full of warmth and generosity, which is the charm I discovered through backpacking travel that I love and recommend everyone to try.Read more about preparing for independent travelto experience this yourself
Lifestyle and language of the White Thai people in Mai Jou village
Talking with people here opened a new world for me to understand the diversity of Thai language and culture spread across this region. The White Thai in Mai Jou still use their local dialect with a unique accent that I enjoyed learning and listening to. They speak simply but with humor and pride in their roots.
I still remember when I asked the villagers to say “Hotsia,” a word I use to greet and share my travel stories. Everyone laughed and had fun. It was a moment that made me realize traveling is not just about visiting places but about building relationships and genuine cultural exchange.
Local food and market atmosphere
In Mai Jou village, the local market is a place I often visited because it offers unique and delicious local foods. Fresh vegetables, fruits, and dishes made from local ingredients are simply displayed. There is also the fragrant aroma of herbs and spices different from what I’ve encountered in big cities.
My favorite dish is sticky rice wrapped in banana leaves, eaten with spicy chili paste made by the villagers themselves. I learned that eating sticky rice this way is a tradition passed down through generations. The food here emphasizes freshness and balanced flavors without over-seasoning, allowing us to truly feel the sincerity of the cooks.
Travel and connections with other provinces
To get to Mai Jou village, I took a bus from Hanoi, a nearby big city, then transferred to a local vehicle to the village. This route lets you see beautiful nature on both sides and the authentic rural lifestyle of the people.
I would like to recommend visitingHa Tinh Provincewhich is not far from this area. There, I had the chance to stay at an affordable hotel and experience the lifestyle of Ha Tinh city people, who have an interesting blend of Thai, Lao, and Vietnamese cultures. Also, Ha Tinh market offers local foods like pork knuckle and fresh tea leaves sold in the market.
Why I like independent and backpacking travel here
For me, independent or backpacking travel is the best way to truly access the city and local lifestyle because we can change plans as we like, stay at homestays, talk with locals, and taste food that isn’t overly prepared for tourism.I have written an article recommending how to prepare for backpacking travelfor those who want to try this style of travel.
Whether it’s riding a rickshaw around the city or strolling in the local market, everything made me feel this trip was full of meaning and good memories that you can’t get from regular tours.
