This s a tiny village of Burma's refugee, where the people of the Longneck tribe are forced to live from the Thai government since more than 20 years. This village is also sadly known as a "Human Zoo", where the life and the culture of this special tribe is always showcased for tourists from all the world... just for the price of a ticket (250bhat). By now the people of this village gave up their freedom and their human rights..

Driving through the mountain roads around Mae Hong Son there are many rice fields where the people from the villages come to work everyday.

I was hosted in a small village near the city of Comilla. Here the visitors are very rare, especially in this time of year. Therefore my presence did not pass unnoticed. Wherever I walked the locals greeted me enthusiastically inviting me to drink or eat something together.. or perhaps have a chat. The elderly and those who could speak a bit of English tried excited to have a conversation with this man came from far away (me).

A small village nearby Mae Hong Son in Thailand. If you ride the motorbike outside the city you can find a few of these small villages formed by a dozen of huts. Here nobody can speak english and they normally work on the harvest, and the life is very simple.

Old Manali is a small mountain village nearby the Himalaya in India. In this peaceful town, the life pass by slow and quietly. This square was close to my guesthouse and a lot of people was used to gather here daily. The old women were chatting or weaving, the men were caring about the animals and the kids playing volleyball or other games all together.
