(Baonghean) - Located on the other side of the Nam Non River, on the inter-commune road of Hoa Binh - Luong Minh, is La village, home to more than 100 households, most of whom are children of the Thai ethnic group. In the past, when there was no bridge across the river, to go to the commune, to the district, to go downstream or to the fields, to the plantations... people in La village had to row a boat. Today, the hydroelectric dam has blocked the water, the Nam Non River has become greener and greener, the suspension bridge has also accompanied more than 3 rice seasons, the lives of people in La village change with each season....
Fortunately, the people of La village still retain the rich cultural identity of the Thai people in the Western region of Nghe An.
