Karen Village

The Karen numbering some 70,000 are one of the largest hill tribes.  They are nomadic and practice a slash and burn style of agriculture.  Growing rice (and opium) on the steep hill sides.

They live in bamboo houses raised on stilts, beneath which live their domestic animals, pigs chickens and buffalos.
