I was Invited to Karen Tribe Home & Wedding (Chiang Mai, Thailand)

- I stayed with the Karen hill tribe family in mountain village of Thailand and I had the honor of being invited to a traditional Karen Hill Tribe wedding ceremony. To my knowledge; The tribal people on the Thailand-Myanmar border particularly tend to keep this kind of event comparatively private.
And with that being said I would feel wrong if I don’t give you a little bit of the context on how I was invited to their wedding in the first place.
My relationship with this hill tribe village, together with the people here starting from
“The boredom of Chiang Mai City”
Nothing wrong with the city itself. But just as time passed by; I started to feel a bit too comfortable, meanwhile I was satisfied with the city and ready to explore something new and unknown.
So I decided to take a trip to somewhere remote and rural; here in Nongtao village - resided by Karen tribal people;
This is where I met newfound friend : P’ Nonchai
During 3 days of hanging out, it was…. tiring yet fulfilling - my life mainly involves following him around observing, learning, sharing experience, and helping him out as he takes care of his elephants, that’s how we connect and build the friendship
Then, on the day of saying goodbye
He asked if I would like to visit again for his brother's wedding ceremony happening in about 2 weeks.
That’s the starting point of me tagging along P nonchai, his friend, his cousins - having a wonderful local experience. Which gives me a better sense of this unknown side in Thailand.

Don't you think that this Karen hill tribe community is so beautiful? I especially love the conversation I had with Powerpuff girl ladies when i gave them compliment and they acted so shy 😳
All in all, I feel so honored to be invited to a traditional Karen hill tribe wedding ceremony and get to stay with the family there even it was so unexpected. If you enjoyed this video, make sure you watch the previous 2 episodes about my experiences in Karen hill-tribe village here : bit.ly/3suMhT2 see you in the next one:)

It was so heartwarming to see how welcoming everyone was and didn't hesitate to invite you into their homes! Thank you again for yet another incredible video that gives us all a special look into such a beautiful community.
they said no need to lock the door in the village - anyone can just enter to their home 😳
A few years ago I rented a traditional suit when I got invited to a Thai wedding. Tah, your magnificent video took me back in time that it almost brought me to tears.
that is so awesome you could experience thai wedding ! Hope you enjoy the culture and especially food! we normally eat a lot on wedding day in Thailand!:)

Amazing series! Please continue your work. Thanks!!
That is exactly right Tah, thanks for framing it that way! When you go to the tourists places you don't feel like you've learned anything about the country. This is because those areas are all the same. We are very happy to see a real part of Thailand. Another great film. Thank you!
aww thanks guys ! it's just when you truly have conversation with local there, then the overall experience and feeling toward that place becomes different in such a meaningful way. Glad you happy to see this real part of Thailand!:)

Thanks for your know Karen people now we happening alot✔️
Simply S T U N N I N G Tah!!!
I was moved tremendously by the culture and community that many cities around our planet is foreign to.
Thank you for reminding us what unconditional loving traditions look and feel like.
xo!
thank you so much ! thinking about those time got me mindblown. something you can't find in the city:)
Brilliant.. again
Thank you so much really:)
Yes! "Absorbing the culture" and living among natives, learning about them and what's important to them is the most rewarding part of travellings. And this felt like more than two days and one night. Tahh!! I don't have the words...my heart is full.
And I am enjoying the mix of languages it feels so natural.
I love this!
yes yes! so hard to explain. the feeling was overwhelmed during 2 days and 1 night - "my heart is full" is probably best to describe my feeling!:)
glad you enjoyed the mix of languages!:)
Yess this is amazing.. I like all the hill tribe ..more intimate.. this's felt like a documentary, thank you
aww thank you so much ! glad you love this local experience stuff!:)
Thanks for sharing our Karen culture and way of life with the rest of the world. It is still amazing to see how our Karen community are living over there. Living in oversea feel like you are disconnected with your root so would love to visit the Karen Hill tribe in Thailand. Thank you
Love your videos
Very kind people! :)
Love to see my people ,from india
🙏🏽🙏🏽
Makes me miss my home town! Nice scope!
missing something makes me appreciate that thing even more - i guess somehow it's a nice feeling in my opinion!:)
You always leave me thinking Tah. I live in a big city, in the same house for about 20 years. I don't even know the names of my neighbors two houses down the street. You on the other hand, go to this beautiful village and become like family with this humble and wonderful people. I need to start changing things around here.... Thank you Tah for making me think and to try to become a better me. 😉
Wonderful story! Keep telling stories like this. This reminded me so much of my wife's home village in the Philippines. It made me a little home sick to tell the truth. Keep up the good work. When we were last in the Philippines my 20 year old son was with us and we went over to a small island for the day to swim and take in the beach. My son and I along with the fisherman who took us all to the island went over to a small fishing village to get some fish to eat and some other things. 2 white guys from Ohio 12000 miles from home. They had no electricity or any of the modern things we have and they were so beautiful and welcoming. I told my son to remember this. This is not a game and how many of his friends from high school have ever had an experience like this? Please keep telling your stories!
Good video, the Karen tribe is appreciated that they are wonderful people, good celebration, surely you enjoyed a lot 🙏
It was so much fun and I felt overwhelmed 🥲
Very beautiful and lovely
งดงาม...

Oh wow, after watching this video, I felt like it was in my community which Jarai community. And Jarai is one of the indigenous ethnicities in Cambodia. I saw the way they dress is quite similar to my people. I really which to visit my community that is located in the southeast of Cambodia. Thank you for sharing such a good video with the world.
