channel59/Poverty in Thailand, learning life the hard way.

Inside a house in the Lahu village. The kitchen is on the left side and the right serves as the washing area, where the inhabitants of the house both shower and do the dishes.  On the banks of a polluted river, in poorly-built houses, live more than a hundred people from the Lahu tribe. They live in a slum in Chiang Mai, Thailand, away from the Lahu people’s original way of life. Usually, the Lahu people get their resources from the forest. The slum has been there for decades.
