Summary

• People waiting at the landing strip which serves as a makeshift airport in a Yao village in Bokeo province. It is interesting to note the variety of clothing and dress that people are wearing. While some are wearing clothing and dress that is typical of the various hill tribes of Laos (for example, the boy in the center), others are wearing Western clothing, complete with distinguished red hats.
