Chiang Mai, Thailand is also famous as a place where you can meet the “chiefs”.
I am a Thailand lover and have been there many times before.
I had never been to Chiang Mai, which is in the northern mountainous region.
Since proof of vaccination and negative testimonials are no longer required for entry into Japan after October 1, 2022, I decided to go abroad for the first time in three years to Chiang Mai, a place I had longed to visit.
A 30-minute motorcycle rental from the old town of Chiang Mai will take you to the village of the Emir Tribe. Pay the entrance fee (500 baht = approx. 2,000 yen) at the entrance and go inside.
What struck me when I entered the village was not that everyone had long necks, but that there were just so many beautiful women!
This is a woman knitting. She has a beautiful expression with a gentle smile, and her colorful clothes suit her very well.
I felt that the women were not only beautiful to look at but also beautiful in their hearts as they all greeted me with kind smiles when I pointed my camera at them, no matter who they were.
By the way, taking pictures is basically allowed in the Chiefs’ Village if you pay the admission fee, but I think it is polite to buy a souvenir when taking pictures. However, I think it would be polite to buy a souvenir when taking pictures. The girls were very happy when we bought handmade items, and they readily agreed to allow us to post their photos.
As you look around the village, you will see a variety of beautiful folk art. They are all so colorful and gorgeous! There are many different types of clothes, scarves, necklaces, and more available for purchase.
I felt bad about buying at one store and not buying at the one next to it, and I also wanted to take lots of pictures, so I bought so much stuff that I ran out of cash on hand (lol).
This is also a good memory of my trip! I will cherish it.
