I have just been trekking for 3 days in the mountains around Chiang Mai visiting local hill tribes. These people originate from China / Burma / Cambodia / Thailand. I did a one night home stay with a tribe called the Darang people. A majority of these people are refugees from Burma. Their traditional clothing is quite colourful and the females wear numerous leather belts around their waist to protect them from evil spirits, apparently it is to do with some voodoo rituals. On my last day in the mountains we rode elephants for a couple of hours, I thoroughly enjoyed this.
I now know how to cook authentic thai meals and I must admit that the meals I cooked taste absolutely delicious..yummy!!!!
