Akha tribe

Hill tribes habitation

In the mountains of southern China, Laos, Myanmar (Burma) and northern Thailand, the Akha tribe resides. If you visit the villages, you are obvious to notice the local people busy with their sewing.

Carved wooden gates, headed over by guardian spirits, mark an Akha village. The people harvest narcotics only because their ancestors did and as the means of trading. There are festivals for the harvest of mountain rice.
