There are around eleven different hill tribes to be found in Northern Thailand. One of the tribes, the Akha, are to be found in the mountains around Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. They originate from Tibet, are nomadic and can also be found in Myanmar, Laos and China. There are around 50,000 Akha in Thailand.
Each tribe has a different traditional dress and although the girls in today's photograph are not Akha they are wearing Akha style children's clothes. If you visit Northern Thailand chances are you will meet hill tribe people at the local markets where they sell all manner of handicrafts.
Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope you enjoyed this photograph from Thailand. If you did why not get it delivered free by my RSS feed.
