THAILAND AND LAOS HILL TRIBES

THAILAND AND LAOS HILL TRIBES / INDIGENOUS PEOPLES

           The mountainous northern region of Thailand and Laos plenty to its charming

            Northern Thailand and Laos  is local to interesting and colourful ethnic minorities, known as the hill tribes. These add an important element to  numerous villages.

             Most of the hill tribes have migrated into the region during the past 100 years from the Asian interior and have largely preserved their traditional ways, making them a fascinating cultural study. They prefer living above 1,000m, and shy away from the outside world.

                There are seven broad hill tribe groupings: Karen, Lahu, Hmong, Lisu, Akha, Mien,

            The most visible signs of distinction are there traditional ways of dressing and their architectural styles, which are peculiar for each tribe and sub-clan.the main tribes in Thailand and Laos are Hmong ,Akha and. Yao

             Each hill tribe has its own customs, language, dress and spiritual beliefs and this is sometimes true even of the numerous sub-categories within one hill tribe. For example, the Green Hmong and White Hmong speak in different and distinct dialects and dress differently. The hill tribes are most distinctly recognised for their colourful and unique costume, which they continue to wear daily.

MY INSPIRATION

             Faces have always fascinated me, they mark us as individuals, we communicate with them in way unlike other creatures and they have the power to bewitch us.

             I guess different people have their association some of them can connect it with their private life.

             I get inspired by the world that surrounds me. when nature uncovers its hill tribes life style.
