Portrait photography - Woman from Palong Northern hill tribe

This is my first entry to @juliank's Portrait Photography contest.

I took this photo in Chiang Rai, Thailand. This woman belongs to the Palong northern hill tribe, nicknamed the "big earring people".
They were once a proud nomadic tribe from Myanmar (Burma), but many now live in refugee camps in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai in northern Thailand. In the past 200 years, many tribes migrated to Thailand because of the conflicts in their countries.
