Thanksgiving day 2008 Sansai, Chiang Mai, Thailand
Held for the City Akha at the local Akha Presbyterian Church Sansai, Chiang Mai.

Abor is endearing name for an older man.
The Akha Harvest festival
The City Akha Give thanks for another bountiful Harvest.
Traditionally the Akha hold the Harvest Festival after the harvest of the rice crop.
The City Akha buy the rice from the local market but still hold "Thanksgiving Day"
to celebrate a bountiful year.
Char Puoo
Please don't quote me on the Akha words, I have written as they sound to me.
My Akha wife , who is 48 this year can not read or write Akha, Thai or English.
Some times we even talk at cross purposes. i.e. She hasn't a clue what I am talking about and visa versa. But we get by remarkably well. Her English is O.K. My Thai is limited and my Akha even more so.
