the hill tribes of northern Thailand

When I travel, I like to spend some time away from big cities. While big cities like Hong Kong and Bangkok offer great museums, extensive shopping, and beautiful temples, I enjoy visiting rural areas and exploring small villages.

While on my recent trip to Thailand, Cambodia, and Hong Kong, I had the opportunity to visit five small villages near Chiang Mai, Thailand. The children pictured in this blog are some of the most outgoing (and photogenic) I have ever encountered. I'm happy to share these photographs with you in the hope that it will encourage you to venture beyond the ordinary in your travels.












For those interested in such details, these photographs were taken with a Ricoh GR-D digital camera.
