One hour by plane or 2 days by boat
and bus is necessary to go in Ratanakiri, a province different
of the others. Not much populated and isolated, with some very
beautiful landscapes, forests, small ponds, waterfalls, and life
in slow motion. The roads of Ratanakiri are in red ground and
we can circulate in it only in "pick up" car any ground.
Different tribal ethnic groups live there in small villages spread
on hills and they go in the only big village of the region, Baglung,
to sell here their thin harvests of vegetables or wild fruits
and the products of their hunting. |

The tribals of Ratanakiri carry on their back, a particular
and very beautiful basket, of different colors braided in reeds,
basket of different size according to their age old. They transport
there all their products. Most of the women wear on the head
a turban made with their "Sarong", piece of cotton
tissues, generally with small squares at red based. |
|
|
|
They sell or exchange on markets, any sorts of products of their
crop or of their hunting |

Some very simple and very reserved people that some
tourists frighten a little. They live in small isolated villages.

|
The villages are rather particular, small houses on stilts,
installed in the forest or on a ground unprotected of the sun. |
|
|
|
The oldest women wear quite sorts of bracelets and
necklaces, but the new generations forgot these customs. |
|
|
|
They clear some pieces of forest to install their
villages which are simplicity and poverty. |
|
|
|
A very particular custom in the tribal villages of
Ratanakiri. Behind the domestic house, they build any small very
low houses, for their elder daughter , so that she can receive
her boyfriend. |
