Field house located on canal in highlands near Mai Chau

A thatched roof house is located along a canal used for irrigating wet-rice fields in the highlands near Mai Chau. Such small houses built of local plant materials may be used by Southeast Asian highland families on a permanent basis, especially if they are near permanent wet-rice fields. Yet such houses sometimes are moved or abandoned when families cultivate other fields during different years or seasons.
