Xin chào!
Kampung Girl at Heart... ❤️ when i told @blackivory that i want to try the bamboo boat, glad that she was willing to entertain me 😅 and thanks to @silksensehoian for being very accomodating! It was last minute decision and they managed to get us into this boat.. Always looking for authentic experience whenever i travel, tried this thung chai (bamboo basket boat) it was so hard to operate and it kept on spinning around and follow the water flow.. 🤪

Quick Fact:
The thung chai, or “basket boat”, traces its history back to the French colonial era. As the story goes, the French arrived in Vietnam and began levying taxes left, right and centre – including a tax on the ownership of boats. Most of the poor Vietnamese fishermen who depended on boats for their livelihood could not afford to pay the taxes, so they invented a new type of boat: the thung chai.
