The Thai ethnic group in Vietnam is well known for their unique stilt houses. These houses are built on tall wooden stilts to protect against floods and wild animals. The roof is usually shaped like a turtle shell and made from bamboo and palm leaves. Under the house, people keep tools, firewood, and sometimes animals. Thai stilt houses are not only practical but also reflect the harmony between people and nature. They are an important part of the group’s culture and lifestyle.

The Tay people in northern Vietnam live in stilt houses made mainly from wood and bamboo. These houses are built near rivers or streams and stand on short stilts. The floor is raised to keep the house dry and cool. The Tay often decorate their homes with simple patterns and keep the space under the house for farming tools or animals. Stilt houses show their close connection with nature and traditional ways of living.

The Ede people in the Central Highlands of Vietnam build long stilt houses that can be up to 30 meters long. These houses are made from wood and have high roofs that curve upward at both ends. Many generations of a family live together in one house. The space is divided into different areas for men and women. Ede stilt houses are not only homes but also symbols of community, culture, and respect for tradition.
