My Scholarship entry - A 'place' I have visited - Mae Saut Noi Village - Thailand

One of the many village homes made out of bamboo on stilts. 


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.
