We made a stop in a Karen village. The Karen people originated in Burma and are the largest "Hill Tribe" in Thailand. Like the other "Hill Tribes" Karens have their own language and culture. They have no regard for today's nations, migrating across national boundaries and settling on any available land. They are not integrated into Thai society and many of their children do not even attend schools.
