Yao Hill Tribe Wedding - Pa Dua

[DavidFL]

1990 & a tip-off / invitation from my friends in the Yao village of Pa Dua on R1130 to come to a Yao wedding in their village

The lucky couple.

Kru Noi, owner of the original Siam Guesthouse in Chiang Saen.

Getting the royal treatment as guests of honour from the bridal couple.

A few maids in waiting.

Very happy punters.

December 91 & a another huge Yao wedding in Pa Dua.

I arrived at 7am & left 12 hours later.
The only white person there amongst 100 Yao people.
This was a bit of a National Geographic experience for me & one to be treasured forever.
Thank you to the Yao people of Pa Dua for inviting me.
