Karens from Myanmar forcibly migrated to northern Thai mountains to survive. Their ladies sport brass neck rings originally to protect against tiger bites but now, sadly, to attract tourists. One is pictured selling souvenirs with a young boy in the distant helping to keep the path clean.

About Artist

Beng Tiong Ng

The pandemic prompted a rethink of life and fired a desire to travel, see and understand the world. Travelling the world to open my eyes and mind, I strive to use my amateurish skill to capture the human condition and the locals' stories through the lens.
