]]>Taken in Ban Tha Luang, Vieng Poukha District. 

These were all taken on a return visit. I was visiting the village to bring back photos of the New Years celebration I had taken a few months earlier. During my visit, I asked if I could take some interior photos of the houses, and in turn was asked by the people if I could take some more portraits of them. Of course, that meant I had to return again some time later to give them these portraits
