I was Invited to Karen Tribe Home & Wedding (Chiang Mai, Thailand)

- I stayed with the Karen hill tribe family in mountain village of Thailand and I had the honor of being invited to a traditional Karen Hill Tribe wedding ceremony. To my knowledge; The tribal people on the Thailand-Myanmar border particularly tend to keep this kind of event comparatively private.
And with that being said I would feel wrong if I don’t give you a little bit of the context on how I was invited to their wedding in the first place.
My relationship with this hill tribe village, together with the people here starting from
“The boredom of Chiang Mai City”
Nothing wrong with the city itself. But just as time passed by; I started to feel a bit too comfortable, meanwhile I was satisfied with the city and ready to explore something new and unknown.
So I decided to take a trip to somewhere remote and rural; here in Nongtao village - resided by Karen tribal people;
This is where I met newfound friend : P’ Nonchai
During 3 days of hanging out, it was…. tiring yet fulfilling - my life mainly involves following him around observing, learning, sharing experience, and helping him out as he takes care of his elephants, that’s how we connect and build the friendship
Then, on the day of saying goodbye
He asked if I would like to visit again for his brother's wedding ceremony happening in about 2 weeks.
That’s the starting point of me tagging along P nonchai, his friend, his cousins - having a wonderful local experience. Which gives me a better sense of this unknown side in Thailand.

Don't you think that this Karen hill tribe community is so beautiful? I especially love the conversation I had with Powerpuff girl ladies when i gave them compliment and they acted so shy 😳
All in all, I feel so honored to be invited to a traditional Karen hill tribe wedding ceremony and get to stay with the family there even it was so unexpected. If you enjoyed this video, make sure you watch the previous 2 episodes about my experiences in Karen hill-tribe village here : bit.ly/3suMhT2 see you in the next one:)
Thank you Tah for this beautiful content, which is much more than a travel vlog. It’s a piece of art. Very inspiring
Tah... Thank you so very much for sharing this experience with us. When you travel... we get to travel too... and share the experience with you...😊
Great story, Tah. Keep up the great work. 👍👍👍

Karen people are some of the nicest people I have ever interacted with, glad I could hang out with them 😊
Yay! Thank you once again for making me feel like I am there 🙏♥️
Glad you feel that way 🥲
Love when they wrap the rice in banana leaf too! Looked like such a great meal
It was so heartwarming to see how welcoming everyone was and didn't hesitate to invite you into their homes! Thank you again for yet another incredible video that gives us all a special look into such a beautiful community.
they said no need to lock the door in the village - anyone can just enter to their home 😳
You had such a special time in the Karen Hill country with the elephants and now being invited to a wedding!
Hi Tah the place is so peaceful and beautiful and the people there are so sweet.
This is so beautiful. Thanks for all the love and heart you put in those long hours editing the video.
The food looked very yummy!
aww thank you !! food is the village is so good, everything is homegrown :)
Your content is so real, so emotional. Thank you for sharing such deep insights with us. Your work is so inspiring!
that's so nice of you, thank you so much !:)
A few years ago I rented a traditional suit when I got invited to a Thai wedding. Tah, your magnificent video took me back in time that it almost brought me to tears.
that is so awesome you could experience thai wedding ! Hope you enjoy the culture and especially food! we normally eat a lot on wedding day in Thailand!:)
@@TahJetiyamon thank you Tah for replying (every time!). That’s so appreciated 👌
Yes, Tah !!! You are back and i saw the notification!! I am the first one to watch this new episode!!!
That’s so lovely of you ! Thank you 🙈
What a great video Amazing storytelling. Thank u for sharing this with us. Can’t wait for more
OMG!!! your documentary makes me cry at the end, you are an AMAZING film maker, the music is so beautiful and we walk with you around all of this emotions, amang, piece of art. Thank you so much
As always amazing edit n a beautiful video
Thank you so much 😊
Another interesting and amazing content,, seems like a short documentary definitely deserves an applaud. Take care of yourself cause we love to see more videos from yours.
aww i'm so flattered, thank you so much !:)
That is exactly right Tah, thanks for framing it that way! When you go to the tourists places you don't feel like you've learned anything about the country. This is because those areas are all the same. We are very happy to see a real part of Thailand. Another great film. Thank you!
aww thanks guys ! it's just when you truly have conversation with local there, then the overall experience and feeling toward that place becomes different in such a meaningful way. Glad you happy to see this real part of Thailand!:)
What a beautiful community! Gorgeous video!
Amazing series! Please continue your work. Thanks!!
Really nice. It's just simple and so beautiful at the same time. At the end, it's the good time people spend together that makes this great day memorable.
Beauty in simplicity- that’s what I have come to love these days😊
Awesome content! Hoping to visit Thailand in the post covid world! Looking forward to seeing more of your experiences. Safe travels!!! Peace!!!
This could be a great and new 30 minute or 60 minute documentary that tells the true story the Karen People. Very little content available about the Karen People right now. Good video.
thank you so much, I'm glad and honored to be invited to their village. this easily become the highlight of my experience in Thailand:)
@@TahJetiyamon Keep up the good. Your mini documentaries are unique. Look forward to your video.
Sweet! The people look so welcoming and you look so happy. You captured everything in the facial expressions of the locals. ❤️
everything there is fascinating to me, i guess that's why you can see clearly how happy i look!:)
@@TahJetiyamon Yes I am happy for you as you seem to be appreciative of how great your own country is Tah. Nice to hear your voice again 🙂
Thanks for your report! Like the way you show the people, culture and nature, thank you!
Another great vid! This series in the village up there is fascinating.

Simply S T U N N I N G Tah!!!
I was moved tremendously by the culture and community that many cities around our planet is foreign to.
Thank you for reminding us what unconditional loving traditions look and feel like.
xo!
thank you so much ! thinking about those time got me mindblown. something you can't find in the city:)
Clearest picture and so amazing sound. Only one problem! It is to short, i was enjoying your lovely way to show their life and it was over. Please longer, your camera is so good, it was like beeing there. Missing Thailand so much :(

@@TahJetiyamon 😁
Tag, absolutely amazing,like a documentary.Hrs of work the story telling ,perfect. You look like you are so happy in what you are doing. Travel is so miss in these difficult times. I'm so enjoying watching you .
The simple country life......awesome beauty....thank you Tah for sharing!
Yes! "Absorbing the culture" and living among natives, learning about them and what's important to them is the most rewarding part of travellings. And this felt like more than two days and one night. Tahh!! I don't have the words...my heart is full.
And I am enjoying the mix of languages it feels so natural.
I love this!
yes yes! so hard to explain. the feeling was overwhelmed during 2 days and 1 night - "my heart is full" is probably best to describe my feeling!:)
glad you enjoyed the mix of languages!:)
Another heartfelt documentary! I agree with you that the house is lovely. They really have a unique way of setting up a bonfire, indoor! Yes, the people makes the culture aside from the clothing, tradition, and food. Keep showing this side of Thailand. Thanks, Tah!
Videography, editing & general construction of ur video is next level. Skills! Love it.
Thanks for sharing our Karen culture and way of life with the rest of the world. It is still amazing to see how our Karen community are living over there. Living in oversea feel like you are disconnected with your root so would love to visit the Karen Hill tribe in Thailand. Thank you
Love your videos
Seriously love how you tell a story. Very different perspective than most. I look forward to all your videos and am blown away by your editing skills. Def inspiring.
These are really nice videos. Vibes!
Thank you! Karen tribe village is such a vibe 😊
Very interesting content, amazing personality, professional camera work and editing. What a great found! The way you love people shows your beautiful, gentle soul. Can't wait for the next video!
Why say thank you so many times, this is just the way the community is. We’re all suppose to be brothers and sisters. I love it.
i love that part too, i'm so touched by that brothers-sisters thing they always always say:)
Wonderful story! Keep telling stories like this. This reminded me so much of my wife's home village in the Philippines. It made me a little home sick to tell the truth. Keep up the good work. When we were last in the Philippines my 20 year old son was with us and we went over to a small island for the day to swim and take in the beach. My son and I along with the fisherman who took us all to the island went over to a small fishing village to get some fish to eat and some other things. 2 white guys from Ohio 12000 miles from home. They had no electricity or any of the modern things we have and they were so beautiful and welcoming. I told my son to remember this. This is not a game and how many of his friends from high school have ever had an experience like this? Please keep telling your stories!
Thank you for this wonderful insight! I love your editing and narrative!
So advance cook I want to see traditional cook,.U look similar with us!!!Nagaland
Good video, the Karen tribe is appreciated that they are wonderful people, good celebration, surely you enjoyed a lot 🙏
It was so much fun and I felt overwhelmed 🥲
Love to see my people ,from india
🙏🏽🙏🏽
You always leave me thinking Tah. I live in a big city, in the same house for about 20 years. I don't even know the names of my neighbors two houses down the street. You on the other hand, go to this beautiful village and become like family with this humble and wonderful people. I need to start changing things around here.... Thank you Tah for making me think and to try to become a better me. 😉
Tah this was a beautiful video, the people were so friendly and welcome you into there home,you seem to smile alot and it's a happy smile, i so enjoy following your journey, stay safe and take care.
Thank you for knowing the Karen people
You are a good storyteller Tah, very detailed, good editing style and clear pictures. This would be a good documentary feature, I hope this will be discovered.
Yay!!! New video!!! Feels like forever since the last one! 😆 I enjoy this series so much!! ☺️
It’s been a while haha I got into motorbike accident and can’t move my hand well so it take longer than usual for this one. Glad you enjoyed it 😊
@@TahJetiyamon oh my 😥 I hope nothing too serious!! But then again, you are a super woman so I know you’ll heal up nicely :) take your time and enjoy life. The next one will be well worth the wait ☺️ stay safe out there!
@@TahJetiyamon ok I've just seen your IG story and I feel bad. But do get better soon!!
Your cinematic style is AMAZING ❤️
Makes me miss my home town! Nice scope!
missing something makes me appreciate that thing even more - i guess somehow it's a nice feeling in my opinion!:)
Thanks for your know Karen people now we happening alot✔️
Thank you for sharing this special experience Tah.
Beautiful!
Tah , like you I have visited many countries and the most beautiful aspect of a country is the people and the culture!!! Tha, you are blessed to be Thai. Thailand is one of the most spectacular countries that I have the joy of visiting!!!!!! Awesome episode!! Thank you Tah!!!!
Very kind people! :)
งดงาม...
ขอบคุณค่า 😊
Very beautiful and lovely
Wow!

Oh wow, after watching this video, I felt like it was in my community which Jarai community. And Jarai is one of the indigenous ethnicities in Cambodia. I saw the way they dress is quite similar to my people. I really which to visit my community that is located in the southeast of Cambodia. Thank you for sharing such a good video with the world.
What an awesome opportunity to meet these tribal people. What part of Thailand?
.
In Chiangmai Thailand !:)
Exiting, astonishing, surprising, inviting, funny, overwhelming, friendly, heart warming, satisfying..... Should I go on forever. Love it.
Amazing work Tah. Your videos are so inspirational and always looking forward to seeing more of your content.
Just a side note, I couldn't access any of your gear links or Allen's channel. Not sure if the links are broken
thank you so much, i really appreciated that. i will check out the link as well, thank you for letting me know !:)
Brilliant.. again
Thank you so much really:)
I am so proud of you Tah♥️🌸 You're actually living my dream. I am very happy to see the way you're adapting to their culture and the Karen culture seems so fascinating, wow. 🥰🥰 I would love to visit the hill tribes of Thailand one day. Please keep on sharing these kinda stories with us😀
If you Came india... Please come to our city Patna, Bihar... and stay with our family...
Thanks for showing the culture of the Karen people. "Let’s go to 100k together!" #TravelTah 🚶♀️🚌⛴️✈️🇹🇭
PS- Did you see Here Be Barr video about Thai Town, Queens, NYC?
I’ve visited Chang Rai and rode the elephants in the past but did not realize there is another community that exist.
I get up every day 4 am due my work and unfortunately when I am off I still woke up at the same time 😥
Aww the body clock effect 😳
This was very interesting and informative. It seems kind of primitive in a way and if I could go there it would be like getting back to nature. They seem very self sufficient there. I think it is also a more healthy way of life. The scenery is very beautiful. The wedding looks like it was short and I really like the tradition clothes. I find it interesting the married ladies wear a long skirt and the single ones wear a short skirt. Sounded funny when I heard so you know who can flirt with. I also found it interesting even tho they have pigs and cows there they eat chicken as everyday meal and pigs and cows are for special events. It is really good to hang out with locals when travelling as you can learn so much. Anytime I have been to the Philippines I have enjoyed the province life over city life. The city is nice to visit and explore but the province you get to see more culture and traditional ways of life. After seeing all these videos on Karen Hill Tribe I am hoping maybe you have more to share. As always a great job Tah. Keep smiling and stay safe. I am already waiting for the next adventure
