I'm going to try real hard not to be too obnoxious and post 100+ pics because I have a LOT again.
My wife and I recently came back from our 3rd 5-week trip to Vietnam. After spending a couple week with her family in the south, we spent the last 3 weeks in the north. 2 of those weeks were spent traveling and trekking in the extreme North East provinces of Vietnam. Mainly Ha Giang province, along the Vietnamese - Chinese border. This is an extremely remote area of the world with VERY few tourists in most areas. We traveled the region for two weeks and only ran into one couple that was traveling on motor bikes. It is also the poorest regions of Vietnam and at times it is painfully obvious. No matter how poor they are though, they are always extremely welcoming and insistent that we come into their home for tea and/or wine. It's an amazing place, people and experience that I could only hope to capture a glimpse of with my pictures. Every picture is a story for me, as I remember each one clearly and we communicated with all of them and many many others.
The northern mountainous regions of Vietnam are dominated by ethnic minority groups, of which Vietnam has 54. These pictures include people from the H'mong, Tay, Thai, Dao, Lo Lo, and some sub groups from them such as the Red Dao and Flower Lo Lo, white Thai, Dao Tien etc.
The last two times we went I did similar posts for my 'Faces of Vietnam'. If you're interested in seeing any of my people shots from previous trips I have some of them here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/kenclass/sets/72157625896157198/
Thanks for looking!
