From Hanoi, you move along Highway 6 to Hoa Binh (about 76km). After arriving in Hoa Binh city, you go straight to visit the hydropower plant. You can take your time to visit Hoa Binh hydroelectricity, then when you pass the gas station near the city, you turn to the bypass road. There is a sign board to go to Son La. Go all the way to the foot of Cun slope, you turn right and ask for directions to Thung Nai wharf (note that turn right, go about 500m, then turn left to enter the small road, if you turn right, you will return to the City).

Besides, do not forget to bring a hammock, picnic tent to rest whenever you want.
* Question: I see that Thung Nai backpackers mainly only go during the day, so I don’t know if there are motels here? Could you please introduce me?
A: Many of you often think that coming to Thung Nai is only for the day, so you don’t need to find out about motels. However, do not be complacent. Driving all day in the sun and wind will make you lose strength and quite tired. So, to regain your strength, find a place to stop.
In Thung Nai, there are 2 prestigious and clean motels that are chosen by many people, which are:
– Windmill motel:
This motel can serve up to 150 guests. The special thing at this guesthouse is the style of the stilt house, with clean towels, pillows, curtains, and a hot and cold water heater. You can directly contact the phone number: 0987 303 118 (Huong Mo)
But it’s also a bit inconvenient here because listening to some friends’ feedback, the owner of this motel is a bit overbearing and condescending, often not accepting guests back.
– Coconut Island Hostel: In addition to the Windmill motel, there is also the Coconut Island guest house. The owner here is Uncle Tuy, about 60 years old, is loved by everyone, so you can contact him to ask about the room. Contact phone number: 01668862663 – maybe you listen or your daughter listens.
The reason why this guesthouse in Thung Nai is so chosen is that Uncle Tuy’s family is very friendly and funny.

Total cost of traveling Thung Nai 2 days 1 night
* Q: We don’t have much travel experience, so we don’t know how much it costs to go to Thung Nai per person. Since I’m a student, I hope you can share so that we can arrange the trip before the trip.
A: Our group consists of 5 people, initially estimated the cost of each person is 500k. But then after the trip, everyone was happy because the amount spent was only half of the prediction.
Total cost includes:
– Eat and drink for each person a bowl of heirloom pho, a cup of iced tea on the way, totaling 115k.
– Give him a houseboat + buy a deck of cards: 80k.
– After visiting Thac Bo Cave, which is located on an island, when the boat just docked, a fat man with narrow eyes full of malice rushed in and asked us for 50k called “visiting fee”.
– Accommodation fee is 650k.
– Fuel up: 150k.
How much does it cost to travel to Thung Nai for 2 days? Total: 115+ 80K+ 50+ 650+150= 1,045k (1 million zero forty-five thousand). So calculated, each person only spent 209k for a two-day trip. It’s so cheap, isn’t it?
