The dense jungle of north of Thailand, close to the border with Lao and Myanmar, is home to a number of different ethnic minorities who live in the Hill Tribe Villages. Life in these very isolated villages goes on slowly, quietly and in the most basic conditions yet in harmony. Their traditions and way of living has been kept for hundreds of years yet the modern world has also touched them, so in a way they have also slowly started to look towards the fast moving grounds of Thailand.

Thailand has a Buddhist population of approximately 95%; in this remote area one would suppose ethnic minorities would stay firm with their long Animist or Buddhist traditions, but things are changing rapidly and people have changed to Christianity, having a very strong presence in these small villages. This missions have had a great impact in the north of the country; they help in important areas like education, prevention of drugs and trafficking of young women from ethnic minorities amongst others and work together with the government to try to fulfill basic needs like electricity using solar panels, the only way to get energy in this remote areas. The effort is important and actually brings help to these poor places, yet is very strange to see how the identity and beliefs of this people change rapidly. Still there is a strange mix of believes, some like black magic put this two millenary believes against one another, yet the two forces live together.
