Thai Hai Village was established nearly 10 years ago by the village head – Nguyen Thi Thanh Hai. The original purpose of the establishment was to preserve the traditional culture of the Tay people, not for tourism purposes. This place has only started tourist activities a few years ago, but it has gradually become a popular tourist destination in Thai Nguyen.
