(HBO) – When mentioning Mai Chau, it must be mentioned about brocade weaving products.

The whole district has dozens of textile
villages in operation. Among them, five traditional handicraft villages have
been recognized, concentrated in the center of Mai Chau town and Pa Co, Xam

products from brocades with Thai ethnic cultural identity are closer to
visitors, which means that traditional products have more chances to be
promoted in the market and abroad.
