This boy was playing in his "playground", the river of Mekong. His is just throwing some sticks to see how far it can go. I guess you cant really run on river and may be this is one of the best games you can play except swimming.

This boy is trying to get money (US 1 dollar)from tourist if they wanna take pictures of him and the snake. He is roaming around the restaurant area which most of the tourist will take a break. Sometimes his mum will take him on the boat and try to more money from the tourist who are on the boat. No matter he likes it or not he has to be with this snake the whole day on his little body.

The reason i took this photo is i can see the love through their action.The mum is trying to keep those flies away from the baby face and the brother is trying to keep her cool down with spraying water on her legs.This is a very poor family as they roaming around the river to try to beg money from tourist. When i compared them with some family i have seen in some cities and developed places, i can never see this kind of heart-touching scene that make me feel warmth and touch deep in my heart.
