Akha hill tribe village

I spent 2 nights in the Akha hill tribe village. A guesthouse set in the mountains in the middle of a local hill tribe village. A very interesting experience, when the rest of the group that were on the truck was having dinner in the restaurant, I was walking through the village and got talking to one of the locals. Of course I don't have any pictures of this, better luck next time.

The man that I got talking to was building a house for the family and his sister in law invited me into the kitchen. "Please come in and take a look". Her mother and her baby were in the kitchen, which was nothing more that a bamboo hut. Half of the floor in the hut was elevated with bamboo mats to sit on. The other half of the floor was used for cooking. A small fire was lit for the kettle with the jungle tea. I never turn down a nice cup of tea.
After a while the brother/father/husband came home and I got invited to stay for dinner. Dinner being rice with omelet and a mixture of small bird crushed with ginger, garlic and some other herbs. I left the hut at 23.00, when it was time to go to bed.
The next day we had a walk around the village, which included the tea plantation, a river, another, different type of hill tribe village, hotsprings and waterfall.
