After taking the tenth graders hiking, camping, and all that other stuff, we stopped off at a fair held by and for the various mountain tribes of Thailand.
Everyone was dressed in their traditional tribal outfits.
We were able to rent traditional outfits for the day and wander around the fair grounds.
Many of the actually tribes people wanted to take pictures with the foreigner who dressed up in one of their outfits. The old lady on the left stopped just as we were about to take this picture with the 2 girls in the middle and so we had to invite her into the pic.
These two girls above saw me walking up the street and I heard them say "get the camera out and get a picture of that foreigner." While they were reaching for their camera, I walked up to them and waited for the question I knew was coming, "ถ่ายรูบด้วยกันได้มั้ย - Can we take a picture with you?"
We liked this girl's outfit and asked her to take a picture with us.

Most of the boys didn't feel like dressing up. Chickens!
While at the fair we got to see or hear about some interesting things. One guy talked for ever about a certain type of snake he had in a box, but after listening to him for 15 minutes and never seeing the snake, we walked away. Instead, we went and saw this:
a lady with no body what-so-ever, just a head. Ask her questions and she responds, turns her head in both directions, but ain't got no body. Should have asked her to do the poltergeist head spin.
Wandering around the fair made for a good ending to a long but very fun weekend.
