mai chau
Getting to know...
Pa Co is a Hmong village in the highlands above Mai Chau, best known for its vibrant Sunday morning market. The market draws Hmong families from the surrounding mountain villages who come to buy and sell produce, livestock, traditional clothing and household goods.
Unlike more tourist-oriented markets, Pa Co remains largely authentic - a place where locals come to trade and socialise rather than sell souvenirs. It is one of the best opportunities in the Mai Chau area to experience Hmong culture firsthand.
The Sunday market
The market runs every Sunday morning, typically starting early and winding down by midday. Arrive early for the best atmosphere and to see the market at its busiest.
