TRYING IT ON TO SEE HOW IT LOOKS
These women are learning to sew traditional handicrafts on machines as a potential diversification of their ways of earning a living, in a village I went to today. The women live in the village of SamSow in the MaeYao District of Chiang Rai.
On the way back down to the city on the windy 4WDrive track we stop to look at some beautiful parts of the river. I want to come back and do a formal portrait here.
We pick up some people in the ute to give them a ride as far as we can. My friend says we have to be careful who we pick up as they can be bringing Opium down for sale. We stop at the Karen (Tribal group ) elephant village for a break and watch the tourists riding down the river on a big grey beast. I get told off for getting too close to the elephants.
