Thái Bình (Vietnamese: (listen)) is a coastal eastern province in the Red River Delta region of northern Vietnam. Its name is Sino-Vietnamese (太平) for "great peace." It is about 18 km from Nam Định, 70 km from Haiphong, and 110 km from Hanoi. Thái Bình is subdivided into eight district-level sub-divisions: They are further subdivided into nine commune-level towns (or townlets), 267 communes, and 10 wards. Although situated in the centre of the Red River Delta, in the past, Thái Bình was considered an island bounded by three larger rivers, and is the only province never to have been merged or separated. This position gives the people of Thái Bình a quite distinct culture. Thái Bình is the homeland of hát chèo opera (in Khuốc village, Phong Châu commune, Đông Hưng District) and water puppetry (in Nguyên Xá commune, Đông Hưng District). Thái Bình people are noted for their practical and clever character. More information...
