All the elephant living here are domesticated, used for cropping and tourism. Elevandid siin piirkonnas on koik vangistatud. Neid kasutatakse tooloomade ja turistide lobusoiduks.
Karenite elamu on mitmekorruseline: maja alumine korrus on loomadele, teine inimestele. Karen tribe house has two floors, ground one for animals, upper for people. Nowadays they grow rice on the goverment land.
Igal hoimul on erineva paritolu, ajalugu, keel ja kombed. Enamik hoimudes on monogaamia, ent yks hoim elab nagu kiisud Aafrikas, mehel on mitu naist ja naised hoolitsevad selle eest, et kodus oleks toit laual. :)
Kareni hoimu naine peksab riisiterasid sokaldest valja. Seal abiellutakse sageli 13-aastaselt. Karen women is beating rice, by stepping on that timber log.
Some of them stretch the holes in ears, while others chew tobacco to make their teeth black, or wear up tp 25 metalrings around their neck...just cuz its so beautiful. Monede hoimude naised venitavad korvaauke suureks, teised narivad puulehti koos tubakaga, mis varvib nende hambad sysimustaks ning kolmandad kannavad kaelas kuni 25 metalrongast, mis venitab nende kaela...ikka seeparast, et see on ju ilus.
We were taken to couple of different hill tribes like Lisu, Karen, Akha and Hmong. My favourite were Akha, becuz they followed us to every village we went and were trying hard to sell us their stuff. At first when they saw us coming, they dropped all they chores, took their goods in amazing speed, on the way to us put on their traditional headcovers.
All these tribes are historically from different areas of China, Tibet. Arrived to Myanmar or Thailand in last 200 years. They speak their own language, have different customs. But, now they live all together, a village next to a village. Earning their living from tourism. In the area of Triangular, growing opium or producing other drugs, and so creating tension between Myanmar and Thailand.
Most of them had originally animistic beliefs, then some of them picked up Christianity or Buddhism.
Our guide Dan, who is showing off with his catch. They used this weapon, which is hangin on his right hand. Meie giid Dan, kes uhkustab oma asjapuutud jahisaagida. Mao tapsid nad rakulkaga. Tehke jargi. :)
Tai inimesed on paljude reisijuhtmike info pohjal on muretud ja roomsad. "Pole hullu" on levinud suhtumine. Ent ka Tai ei paase mooda erineva religioosse voi kultuurilise taustaga gruppide vahelistest pingetest. Nii on Louna-Tais aastaid pysinud konfliktid moslemist rahvusgrupi ja tailaste vahel, kus esimesed soovivad saada yhendatud Malaisiaga. Pohja-Tais tekitavad probleeme need samad magihoimud, kes liiguvad oma suva jargi Tai ja Birma vahel, kasvatades ning aritsedes oopiumi, heroiini ja muude toredate meelemyrkidega. Molemad riigid ei taha narkoarist tulevat raha kaest lasta ning pinged Kolmnurga-nimelise koha ymber pysivad.
Rice sausages. Riisivorstikeste muuja.
Thai people are relaxed. "No worries" attitude is common, are saying most of the travel guides and is widely know. I am not sure, how true is that, but I people are not interested so much in military things, mostly they are concerned about improving their living standard, have lots of holidays to celebrate royal family's birthdays or go to the temple for various occasions. The tradition is that even on your own birthday, early morning you go to the temple and give donations, which can be money, rice, flowers, fruits, gifts...
However, even Thailand has it's ghosts, which haunt them. In south there is Muslim community, which yearns for its autonomy, independence or joining with Malaysia instead Thailand. In the north, there is an area called Triangular, where hill tribes live and earn their livings often still from opium and drug production. Triangular, creates hazzles with Myanmar(Burma). And I am thinking, the people, who actually live here, are neither Burmese or Thai. Some of them are like human zoo, visited by endless row of tourist groups, trying to sell them their poorly made bracelets. Creating pity in the eyes of the first-world Westerners (Farang, how Thai people call white).
