About this activity
You will be picked up from your hotel at 8am, and head out into the lush countryside. We will visit Baan Tong Luang village, here you can see a variety of hill tribes such as; Karen, Hmong, Akha, Long neck, Big Ear and Palong. It is geared for tourists and requires an entrance ticket (so we offer this as an option). All the villagers wear traditional costume, and live in traditional bamboo houses. So there are plenty of photogenic subjects. If you prefer a more natural setting, then we will head our further into the countryside, to visit some authentic Hmong and Karen hill tribe villages.
Enjoy a scenic drive through the countryside, we'll stop along the way to capture landscape shots. We will visit a Hmong hill tribe village, from the top there is an amazing viewpoint overlooking the tropical rolling hills. Then we'll head on, to some remote Karen hill tribe villages. We'll stop spontaneously for shots as they arise along the way, this could be to take the water buffaloes by the roadside, or hill tribe women walking back from the farm. Upon arrival at the village, we'll learn about Karen hill tribe culture and way of life. Chance to take portrait shots of the villagers, with the the help of your guide we can do this in a respectful and culturally sensitive way.
As we travel in a responsible and non-intrusive way, we will follow the natural rhythms of village life. We'll open up photo opportunities in the village, in a natural and un-staged way. We don't fix the timing, as we know photography requires flexibility. After the day has come to a natural end, we will leave the villages and head back to Chiang Mai , and drop off at your hotel.
