During our trip to Thailand in 2011, we visited a White Karen village near Chiang Mai in the north of the country. The White Karen are a minority ethnic group in Northern Thailand and take their name from the white clothing that the women must wear before they are married. After marriage they can wear colour, and they really make the most of this. Their clothes are absolutely beautiful.
I took this photo inside the building where the women make their traditional garments the old fashioned way. A lot of their clothing is up for sale to tourists, and I was quite surprised at how cheap they were considering the amount of time that it takes to make them.
Great photo, have you managed that colour effect with a setting on your camera?

Thanks Jennifer. I achieved this effect during post editing 🙂
This is beautiful picture and kudos to your creativity Dean that you thought of some thing like this. I have read about Karen people, I believe they are at war with the government. I wish that these beautiful people see peace soon.
Thanks Vinnie. Yes I think there have been some problems between the Thai Government and some of the minority ethnic groups in the country.
