Meeting The Most Mysterious Tribe In Southeast Asia | The Akha People

- čas přidán 7. 04. 2023
- After years in Laos we finally got the chance to meet one of the most mysterious tribes in Southeast Asia, the Akha people. They mostly live in the extreme North of Laos hidden in the isolated mountain ranges of Phongsali. They are one of the poorest and least developed ethnic minorities and indigenous tribes in Laos and are difficult to contact because of their separation from the modern world. Luckily with the help from a local guide, we got the chance to spend a day in an Akha village, meeting the people, cooking with them in their home and learning about their way of life.

Dark "moo" from forest so cute! 0:52 and eat tea leafs nice experience too, fews years ago i eat some but import from Myanmar. Delicious 👍
Olivia's wincing face as you give a good review of the laolao was a hilarious contrast!!! What a great experience. Love you guys!! Happy Travels
I noticed that too! So funny!
Thanks Stephen!
I always like the hill tribe people. Some of the most honest and natural on the planet.
❤❤❤
Wow!! Here, you go to the real Laotian Tribe village. I believe those fruits in your hand called bottles gourd.
your white pumpkin is also called a winter melon in some places
Greetings from Ontario, 🇨🇦
Olivia, you should sell off Mario to the Akha, make him work for your money!!! Hahahaha
Always love your adventures!
The green pumpkin actually we call it WINTER MELON.
When you touch it, if it’s not cleaned right, it has thin prickly things on it like the greens they grow from.
That’s a Hmoob diet right there. Nom nom.. the Lao Lao helps digestion also. Especially because it’s all vegetables. @9:15 she said (sounded to me) in lao/Thai. Not hot not good? Bo pit, bo sap.
So lucky that you can see this clan. I can’t wait to go. Hopefully end of this year or next.
Thank you for sharing our AKHA tradition but I'm from MYANMAR by the way. Some of their words are different from ours. For your information we don't dress the same. The hat design is different. The clothing style is different. Anyway thank you for sharing our tradition .
Interesting, we would love to visit Myanmar one day, so much beautiful culture and rich jungle
11:55, says they cant film babys to not steal the soul.. with a baby in the background.. lol
great video, Laos seems cool.
😅😅😆
Slow on the shots bc they will keep it coming lol
Whao… you guys are down under? 👉 at the first clock it was upside down😉🤣
Yeah we didn't get that either...
@@TravelsonToast gotta love them Lao people at least they haven’t discovered the Mankini yet 😉🤣
Can Mr. Bounhong communicate in English writing?
Yes you can message him 🙂
the clothes that the woman is wearing in the picture of your video are more or less the same as the Yi ethnic group from China..
Interesting, I wonder if they have anything in common within the culture 🤔
You saw lots of different people. Are they Hmong?
IKR. They have Hmoob look. Even some words sound similar. I just know of the black Hmoob from the mountains.
No they're not. Not every ethnic tribe in Laos is hmong
Thats a squash, not pumpkin
Yes they are so mysterious we have been tracking up to the Akha villages for 30 years to buy our opium and heroin, I have great respect for them ,I still have the Akha pants I was given many years ago, about 25 years ago, the woman so strong,
