We drove all the way into the mountains to visit
this Hill Tribe.  They have native costumes that you can rent and have pictures taken. It was such fun wearing the finery.  I felt like a princess.

There were very steep hills to climb to get to the Hill Tribe Museum and to the area where the pictures were taken. As we walked up the hills we viewed many shops of the wares of the people.

Ladies of the Hill Tribe were sewing by hand and also with sewing machines.  There were scarves, pocket books of all shapes and sizes, wooden carved objects, handmade jewelry and shoes.

The women, men and children all have elaborate costumes.  There are layers of handmade blouces, skirts, jeweled necklaces and the head piece.
