อาข่า

The Akha are a hill tribe of subsistence farmers known for their artistry. Most of the remaining Akha people are now distributed in small villages among the mountains of China (where they are considered part of the Hani by the government, though this is a subject of some dispute among the Akha themselves), Laos (where they are considered Lao Sung), Burma, and northern Thailand, where they are one of the six main hill tribes.
The well-dressed Akha woman look stunning from the tip of her elaborate headdress to her ornate leggings. The Akha man clothing is not so elaborate, but there is a certain smartness in cut of his jacket and the tilt of his turban.
