Bong Lai Valley

Bong Lai Valley is an authentic Vietnamese rural valley that is interspersed with farms and small villages. There are now a number of small attractions in the valley making it a great relaxing day or half day out in the countryside.

The Pub with Cold Beer is the original watering spot in the valley for thirsty tourists. The beer is, as advertised, cold, and everything you eat there is grown in the village. Chicken is the specialty of this farm to table experience, with chicken so fresh that when you arrive it will still be scratching around the veggie patch! While you wait for your lunch to cook you can rent a tube and oat down the river or just lie in a hammock with a cold beer or get as involved as you like with the preparation of your chicken. The Pub with Cold Beer has been praised by The Hu ngton Post and The New York Times.

If you want to get further o the beaten track, head a few more adventurous kilometres down the track to the Wild Boar Eco Farm. Enjoy some refreshments and delicious freshly cooked pork with a more rural setting than The Pub With Cold Beer, with views over the river. This is a great spot to swim or hang out in the huge Vietnamese house that Mr. Cuong built.

Moi Moi Restaurant is a great spot for lunch, o ering some fantastic traditional food options in a rural setting on a small farm that grows pepper, watermelons, cassava, corn and more.

Stop in at The Duck Stop on your way and feed the ducks for some great photos! Pick up some Phong Nha black pepper from a local farmer as a souvenir while you are there.
