During the new year celebrations in Ban Nong Tong, a Lisu village in the North-West of Thailand, the women take turns in cooking. While cooking and cleaning they don’t wear their party clothes, but these work clothes. Only when it’s their time to dance they change the work clothes for their handmade and richly decorated dresses.

Tijdens het nieuwjaars-feest in Ban Nong Tong, een Lisu-dorp in Noord-West Thailand, koken de vrouwen bij toerbeurt. Tijdens het koken en schoonmaken hebben ze niet hun feest-kleding aan, maar deze werkkleding. Pas als het hun beurt is om te dansen wordt de werkkleding omgeruild voor de zelfgemaakte en rijkversierde jurk.
