Morning light pours over flat rice fields as you roll out of the office and onto narrow two-lane roads — a line of scooters threading between karst towers that rise like grey teeth from the plain. The trip begins with a 2.5-hour transfer from Hanoi, then a guided motorbike loop through villages, stopping at Thai Vi Temple, a working snail-and-hen farm, Thung Nang, and the limestone lanes of Coi Khe.
