Spinning basket boats among water coconut palms.
Address: Cam Thanh, Hoi An, Quang Nam
Basket boats, called thung chai, were invented by fishermen. A local story says they were made round to avoid a boat tax.
In the water coconut forest of Cam Thanh, paddlers show how to fish for crabs and spin the boats to music. During the war, the dense palms were used as a hiding place.
