Akha Tribe Lady

Category: Travel Portraits

 

Photo and caption by Kay Salera

This picture was taken when I visited an Akha Village in the Northern Thailand. The impressive part of this tribe is the gorgeous woman's head-dress with silver and beads. They believe in spirits which could be good or evil to them. They protect their head with the hat from the bad spirits.

Location: Chiang Rai, Thailand
