9:00am: Continue the trek 5 km to Thong Mun village - the village still remains unnamed on maps
In Pu Luong, there still exists a primitive village of the Thai ethnic minority with distinctive features: no internet, no roads. Thong Mun is a destination for nature lovers seeking wilderness and authenticity. Away from the hustle and bustle, nestled deep within Pu Luong, it's rarely visited. Blessed by nature with majestic limestone mountains, lush green forests, and the simple life of the local people, it forms a uniquely peaceful village.
Isolated from the outside world, it preserves many customs of the ancient Thai people, with traditional stilt houses bearing the unique characteristics of the local community. Approximately 4-5 households, all Thai, inhabit this village. During the day, everyone works in the fields, leaving only the elderly and young children at home. Come evening, every house lights up, gathering for a late dinner.
11:00am: Walk to the main road (1.5km), where the driver picks you up back to Pu Luong Jungle Lodge. Journey’s end.
