I thought we already posted something about this already. She is from 12,000 Ricefield (Seep Song Pan Na). Just directly north of Laos. She is Tai Lue. Part of the Tai family which Tai Lao belong to.
I really enjoy their culture which is similar to our Lao culture in this video. No wonder we have been told that there are Lao people in See Song Panna.
These Tai Lue is just putting on a show for tourists. I doubt if they even live like that anymore. I've been looking at pictures and video I can find. The village look old and abandone. The people look like they put on a costumes for the tourists to come and see.
Lao is Laos don't put on a show. That how we live.
