A hill tribe on the border

I took a little trip to visit the long necked people in the hills of Thailand. Thailand has about 10 different ethnic minorities that live on the hills in the north. The women wear rings around their necks to make it look longer.
It's so beautiful and exotic, and the girls and women of these minority tribes are so pretty.

But of course they have a phone booth


Look at her gages!!

This is one of my favorite pictures from this trip. It looks so intimate and loving, I feel like I'm invading their privacy.

I really love the culture of these people, so I bought one of the neck rings as a souvenir.
