Laos - village colours

Without doubt, there is something very relaxing about very remote villages. It is poverty of course that force the people to use whatever is around, but for a temporary visitor the lack of electricity and motor bikes and about anything plastic is a wonderful contrast to the constant noise and hysterical visual contamination of Asian cities.

In a pretty well off (relatively that is) village along the Nam Tha river.


A small village primary school high up in Phongsaly mountains. Temporarily (they said) closed during rice harvesting as everyone is needed on the fields.


House hold gear and little friends in a little village somewhere.


Kids it seems are kids everywhere.
