Morning light slices the rice paddies as your guide pedals along a cracked village track; a tuk-tuk idles, ready to ferry you to the bamboo train. The day moves between gentle pedaling and short drives, the countryside opening in wide fields, wooden stilt houses and the occasional suspension bridge. By midday you’ll taste freshly made bamboo sticky rice and see rice paper stretched on racks, the smell of frying bananas drifting through market alleys.
