Snapshots from Mae Hong Son: Party animals

Handing out khao ya kuu on the streets of Mork Jampae, Mae Hong Son

My stay in Mae Hong Son coincided yet again with khao ya koo, a Shan celebration in which caravans of partying locals hand out packets of sweetened sticky rice to anybody and everybody in the name of making merit. It’s heaps of fun and reminded me of the fact that I seem to bump into some sort of festival or another virtually every time I’m in Mae Hong Son.
