Hi all, its close for me to get my trip to Vietnam. I got information from Google about Le Mat, snake village in Hanoi. I would like to get all information how to reach that area because I have read that many taxi not able to bring them to visit that area but not written in detail why. What the interesting thing I can get from that area. Actually, I'm scare with snake. Is it possible to see snake walking around in that area? Many thanks for all info.

I dont know if there are snakes where you are going but even if there are I think it is quite easy to avoid getting close to them. I saw a few when I was in Thailand. They never came inside the houses. Dont walk in long grass and bring a flashlight at night if you are walking in poorly lit places so you can check that there are none where you are about to walk.

Reply to this You can go there by motobike taxi, around 20 minutes from the Hanoi old quarter. If you like to be in "fear factor" show, go there to pick your own snake, then they kill that snake before your eyes, give you its blood to drink with its tiny heart. And then they prepare snake meat in 6 different dishes. A very particular experience you only could have it in Vietnam. I think that you don't plan to go there for this kind of experience.
No, it's impossible to see snake walking around.
Good luck!

Reply to this Hi Paul Le, wow...think I got heart attack immediately for that challenge. But I saw that Le Mat sell a special liquor with snake inside the bottle. Maybe I will try to see the dead snake...lol! Thanks for your info.
