Awesome thread FF.

I really hope these people stay true to their way of living and not be influenced by media and greed and the evils that entail with that.

They all look so peaceful and happy, real nice people, you don't need to know them to come to that conclusion you can just see it.

Thanks for sharing this with us all,

skipping up the notched plank...some Lahu tribes do not use ladders ...they cook in the front of the house with no windows or chimney so blackened front porch... see the smoke

playing Jacks with pebbles

Good shots FF!!

Good shots FF!!

+1 IMO, one of the best, if not THE best threads on this forum. Thank you, FF

I don't know where I am and cannot drive any further, roads pretty bad. Not on any map but somewhere between Doi Internon and Mae Win. White Karen people:

Ditto above:

So many posts where I want to make a " like this "

So here a huge LIKE THIS for all your photos FabianFred .

I will be with a friend and our MTB in the provinces of north Thailand in a few days;

I have sent to u a MP but my so slow connexion .....doesn't want to go to u ...

I will try again to morrow morning when it's better .

I think we will be in Mae_Ai or Fang the 14th of november; in about a fortnight, coming from Mae_Salong ...

Photo shot in Ban_Meaw_Mikrowave; but I prefer say and write Ban_Hmong_Mikrowave ( meaw in thai is a pejorative word );

U can see my MTB in front and a old woman behind it;

Ban_Hmong_Mikrowave is at the end of a narrow concrete road ; a very difficult road, seven kilometers with huge percentage, always more than 10 % sometimes more than 20 % from the main road 108 between Mae_Hong_Son and Khun_Yuam

^^Good luck with your planned trip, Assurancetourix. Don't forget to to take lots of photograficpix....am looking forward to seeing them. I'm planning to explore the Doi Ang Khang area, for 3-4 days maybe in January / February when the blossoms/flowers are out, but I will be letting the trusty PCX deal with the hills! Some of Mrs R's family come from the Fang area too, si I guess we will be doing a lot of visiting....

@fabianfred..... Thanks yet again for sharing. Any hints or tips for exploring the area would be much appreciated, if you have a spare moment.

FabianFred have received my PM and answered to me we will miss a beautiful festival on road 1130 or 1234 between Pa_Sang and Mae_Salong the 14 & 15th of november;

so we will change a little bit our route so we can be there for the festival;

Yes, we will shoot many photos and maybe some videos;

I will have my new camera only in january 2015;Panasonic Lumix FZ200 ; what a shame !!

Mai pen rai, Bo pen yang do, I will come back another time...

For you who like photos from the north of Thailand;

Chiang_Dao , about 60 km north of Chiang_Mai on rd 107

Great stuff, FF. Clearly a labour of love.

There's a Catholic church there but never seen anyone use it. Come across this in many hilltribe villages; maybe the conversations are not taking.

Hmong girls playing hop scotch; watched this for some time and couldn't figure out the rules. They have a rather unique version with some strange elements added.

FF your photos are just stunning.

You are truly blessed in this world to actually be part of what you are showing us all.

Thank you so much for posting these photographs.

FF...Your post #129....
