Mae Salong hill tribe in Northern Thailand

We went to markets in this nortern area of Thailand which was originally founded by the Chinese republic army soldiers who were defeated by Mao Tse Tung's communist army and settled these areas in the 1950s. Their main trade was opium but today tea plantations festoon the area.
