Amid the Thai jungle stands this small place where the Akkha tribe lives, fighting to maintain their traditions in the news.

My suggestion:
Bring very comfortable clothes.
My review

I don't know about you, but when I was young I saw many documentaries, and those that I enjoyed the most were those about tribes' way of life in remote areas. It is for this reason that the time I spent in the Akkha village was like a dream come true. The Akkha tribe resides in the high mountains of the Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai provinces as well as other areas of Laos and China.

In the village of Akkha, you can see the tribe's customs, although sadly recently, have gradually contaminated their way of life. In any case, it was a pleasure to see the small houses made of bamboo in the middle of the exceptionally green vegetation but also the traditional customs and the jewellery that they wear.
