Ko Saen Chai Attractions

 
The unsurfaced track continuing beyond the Chiang Rai bus station leads to an Akha village called Ko Saen Chai, at the entry to which stand swings used in age-old fertility rites. The huts, built on piles and with low-hanging roofs, are each the home of an extended family. Men and women live segregated.

Most hill tribes have their own language and believe in some form of animism which invests every common object with spirits, good or evil. Water, for example, is held to be the abode of evil spirits - a reason therefore for washing as little as possible.
