    This little girl is wearing Thanaka on her face is a yellowish-white cosmetic paste made from ground bark. It is a distinctive feature of Myanmar (formerly Burma) seen commonly applied to the face and sometimes the arms of women and girls. It protects them from the harsh sun and helps moisturise their skin. Taken at Mae Saut Noi village in Mae Sariang - Mae Sot area in Thailand, the people are of the Karen tribe they are one of the many ethnic groups from Burma and have moved from their villages from Burma escaping the civil war conflict against them by the Burmese Military or extreme poverty their life's are much more free in Thailand than in Burma where it's very dangerous over their. This is one of the very few villages that are still very traditional way of living very simple life, they have no electricity or technology but they are happy living like this in their cozy bamboo huts. The kids play outside all day everyone cheeps in like washing clothes, cooking ect. The environment/hygiene isn't that clean as they are quite poor. It was a great and very nice atmosphere something that I have never experience before. I captured mainly children in this rural village they were very excited seeing a foreigner and were most interested in my big slr camera as I was clicking away.

I took the opportunity to get to know the kids and let them play with my camera and taking photos with my instructions on how to use the camera and taking pictures, it was great fun.

Views[235] This was taken in one of the many traditional bamboo huts on stilts. These kids were in their home and i waved at them and smiled to ask them their photo they giggled especially the younger child on the right when I took their photo. They don't see any westerners or tourist in this rural country side of Thailand. None of them speak any English but I just weaved and they were more then happy to pose for me.

The clothing of the child was pretty dirty and old and looked a bit to big on the boy as the living conditions in rural villages hygiene is not the best, but kids are kids they like to play and get dirty.
