Staying in a local homestay is the ultimate way to experience the real heartbeat of Southeast Asia. Wake up to the sound of roosters in the Mekong Delta, learn to cook Lao larb with a village grandmother in Luang Prabang, or fall asleep under a mosquito net in a Thai stilt house while fireflies dance over the rice fields. These are not just places to sleep — they are doors into living cultures.

Legend Travel Group has spent years building direct relationships with the warmest, most authentic homestay families across Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. Every homestay featured in our Vietnam Tours, Laos Tours, and Thailand Tours has been personally visited, vetted, and loved by our team and thousands of happy guests.

Best of all? You only need to pay a 10% deposit to secure your spot — final payment is due just 30 days before departure. Travel with complete peace of mind.

Vietnam Homestays – From Mountains to Mekong

• Mai Chau Valley (North Vietnam): Sleep in a traditional White Thai stilt house, cycle through emerald rice fields, and enjoy home-cooked meals with rice wine toasts.

• Pu Luong Nature Reserve: Off-the-grid bamboo bungalows with infinity views over terraced valleys — perfect for hikers and photographers.

• Mekong Delta (Can Tho & Ben Tre): Riverside homestays where you float to the famous Cai Rang floating market at dawn and learn to make coconut candy.

• Hoi An Countryside: Eco-friendly farm stays surrounded by vegetable gardens and water coconut palms — just 15 minutes from the ancient town.

Laos Homestays – Pure Serenity & Living Culture

• Luang Prabang Area – Ban Chan & Nong Khiaw: Stay on the banks of the Nam Ou River, learn traditional fishing, and watch silk weavers at work.

• Muang Ngoi Neua: Electricity-free village homestays reachable only by boat — fall asleep to the sound of the river and wake up to misty mountains.

• 4000 Islands (Si Phan Don): Simple wooden bungalows on Don Det or Don Khone with hammocks overlooking the Mekong at sunset.

Thailand Homestays – Northern Charm & Island Life

• Chiang Mai & Chiang Rai Highlands: Lahu, Akha, and Karen hill-tribe homestays with organic coffee plantations and jungle treks.

• Mae Kampong Village: Forested mountain homestays famous for miang (fermented tea leaf salad) and zipline adventures.

• Koh Yao Noi: Muslim fishing village homestays with private beaches, long-tail boat trips, and fresh seafood dinners under the stars.

• Greet hosts with a warm “xin chào” (Vietnam), “sabaidee” (Laos), or “sawasdee” (Thailand) and a gentle smile.

• Remove shoes before entering the family home — slippers are usually provided.

• Accept offered food or tea — it’s a sign of respect (a tiny taste is always enough if you’re full).

• Ask permission before taking photos of family members, especially elders.

• Small gifts from your home country (chocolate, postcards, or children’s books) are deeply appreciated.
