Thai wedding


In Pai, I was invited to a Thai wedding. The family walked through town in a procession to collect the groom from his house, then took him to collect the bride from hers, which was one of the bungalows at our guesthouse. After the blessings were bestowed everyone present, myself included, tied the couple's wrists together with pieces of string, as pictured here. After the ceremony, we were treated to a selection of Thai and Shan tribal food.
