This girl was so beautiful. I think she's probably around 11 or 12 years old. When they are around 4 or 5 they get to decide whether or not they will start wearing the rings. From there on out they are kinda stuck. In any case most decided to wear them.
Well here we are! We have officially been to the Northern Most of Thailand!
It may seem to be a bit lacking in technological advancement but this is the way some people still fish up in the Golden Triangle. It's a bowed frame that has a net attached to it's four legs. They settle it down into the water and wait for the fish to swim over it and then they pull it quickly from the water.(As you see here)
The Golden Triangle opium museum. Educational and informative. Where most museums only tell you about history, this one told us how to grow, harvest, refine and smoke this substance. I think that museums back home would be a lot more frequented if... well never mind.
