 Stilt houses
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, face mountains or a forest. The Bahnar and Ede have a communal house 
(called a Rong house) as the heart of their village. These communal houses are the 
largest and tallest ones in the village. 2 Read the passage and tick T (True) or F (False)
