Lo Thi Thom is happily looking forward to moving with her family into their new spacious house before the Tet (Lunar New Year) holiday.
She is a 30-year old Thai woman from Kun Ha Commune in Tam Duong District. Her new two-storey house, which is near completion, has been built in a design that is popular among the Thai minority community.
