Chiang Rai





I got to be a long neck for the afternoon! It really wasn't that bad. I don't know what they're complaining about...











"Hi! It's very nice to meet... woah! Sorry, but you seem to have a little something right here..."
It kinda takes you by surprise doesn't it? The women in this tribe chew this special root that turns their teeth jet black. We asked her if her teeth were healthy and with an unnerving smile she told us that she would have them until the day she died. Good for you.



You think the guages back home are intense? In this tribe it is believed to be good luck to stretch your earlobes as it signifies long life. I think I'de rather just die young.






These little boys were having a great time running around the village while we were there. One of them... well you can see for yourself.
