We met our host, Dung, for a visit to Le Mat Snake Village, and it was a wonderful experience. She shared with us the history of this hidden gem, and we felt like we were the only tourists there. The visit to the snake farm family was very special. The owner showed us all the cobras she has in her garden and gave us many different cobra liqueurs to try. She treated us with such kindness that we felt right at home. It’s a highly recommended experience for anyone who wants to discover the daily life of a very friendly person who enjoys sharing her knowledge about hunting different types of snakes. We could have stayed all day spending time with our host, Dung, and the family. We are truly grateful for the experience!
