Here in Mae Hong Son, close to the Myanmar border, is a Karan Village. The Karan are refugees from Burma. They make there living from weaving some fabulous, colorful scarves and clothing and also charging Farangs 250 baht to visit the village, Thais get in for free. I gave the boy 20 baht, which he promptly gave to his mom, to take their picture. When I was leaving they were at a shop near the entrance to the village spending the 20 baht on soda and candy.
