(Baonghean.vn) - In the western part of Nghe An province, many wealthy Thai ethnic minority individuals own stilt houses made of precious wood, worth billions of VND. Most of these houses are constructed from precious wood, using dozens of cubic meters of timber, and the labor cost ranges from 250 to 350 million VND.

Basically, the house retains the traditional architecture of the Thai ethnic group, but has been improved to suit current conditions: the roof is edged with corrugated iron to protect against rain and sun, and the floor is no longer open but has been enclosed with walls...
