Karen tribes At Thailand-Chiangmai

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

I live within dense forests filled with sub-tropical plant species and pine tree at the higher part of the mountain. There are hundreds of villages tucked away on the sides of the mountains, sometimes 40 kilometres from the nearest hospital or secondary school.
The rainy season starts in May and goes through to October. November, December and January are very cold at night. March and April are hot and dry, with cool nights.
Heavy rains and severe droughts bring difficulties. Villages are often cut off for weeks in the rainy season.From November to April is the dry season.

In my village spirit world plays an important part in the lives of many villagers.Each village has a spirit leader.Every year the whole family must gather together and carry out a blessing ceremony
Religion is central to many aspects of identity and culture: moral and cultural values are passed down through stories and so . Sex before marriage warrants a cleansing of the spirit and a fine from the villagers. Marriages must be approved by the parents. During the ceremony a knot is tied around the wrists to symbolise unity.

The Life style of Karen tribes at Chiangmai

Saturday, May 19th, 2007

In the remote villages, houses are made of teak or bamboo and are usually on stilts, the space underneath being used for animals (buffalo, pigs, chickens). There is no electricity in these villages. Toilets are minimal, and situated in a separate outbuilding with no septic tanks. Water is available from the river for washing the body and clothes.
The Karen people have few possessions, and usually sleep on mats on the floor. Cooking is over an open fire on earth or the wooden floors of the house. Occasionally, a wooden frame is built to store equipment. There is generally no furniture.
Some villages closer to the towns have access to running water and electricity, and some houses in these villages are built from more modern materials.
