Stilt houses are popular among different ethnic minority groups, from the Thai in the Northern
Highlands to the Khmer in the Mekong Delta. The houses come in different sizes and styles, and
show the traditional culture of their owners. Stilt houses are made from natural materials like
wood, bamboo, and leaves. They stand on strong posts, about two or three metres above the
ground. This allows them to keep people safe from wild animals. People climb a seven- or nine-
step staircase to enter the house. The most important place in the house is the kitchen. It has an
open fire in the middle of the house. It is the place for family gatherings and receiving guests. The
stilt houses of the Tay and Nung usually overlook a field. The stilt houses of the Thai, however,
