You step out of the van while rice terraces hum with distant water flow and a temple bell ticks the hour—air thick with incense and the scent of wood shavings from nearby carving shops. The day moves like a procession: a traditional dance that opens the senses, a compact stone temple whose carvings crowd history into a single courtyard, a village workshop where artisans coax faces from teak, and finally a waterfall that dares you to step closer.
