Black Thai skirts hanging up for sale

Black Thai skirts hanging up for sale, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

Not all doom and gloom today.... these colourful garments are skirts as worn by the people of teh Black Thai tribe, ready for sale ot tourists. The village which we visited at lunchtime, which is a very attractive one, set in the middle of some paddy fields, surrounded by high mountains, makes a side income in tourism, welcoming tourists for lunch, dinner and homestay. If we had not had to shave a day off the planned trip to make it to Sa Pa on time for our other tour, we would have been staying here tonight.
