Traveling to the northern tribes of Thailand was another unusual experience. Most of them come from Tibetan-Burmese-Chinese origin. Each one has their own culture, language, dress code :) and traditions. Extremely colorful. Rich with goods, poor with teeth...All the different tribes live in small villages, each about 15-20 households( their houses built on stilts, underneath which domestic animals are usually kept). Most of the tribes believe in nature, guardian spirits, soul and supreme substance. Agriculture practice (especially paddy fields) and hand crafting are the main sources for the tribes income. Oh yeah.. and the tourists of course...
