Hmong New Year Celebrations
The Hmong are one of Thailands more numerous hill tribes. This year they celebrated their Lunar New Year on Saturday the 15th January.
Yuni and Ryan invited us to join them for the Hmong New Year celebrations up in the mountains in a Hmong hill tribe . About an hours drive from home, up twisty roads and dusty tracks, we were happy the celebration did not take place in the rainy season.
(Yuni was born Hmong, Ryan aspires to be so and was made a semi honourable one by Yuni's mother this year.Next year he gets to wear the hat and jewellery.)
The date of the celebration varies year by year according to the lunar cycle.
