I rode a motorbike to the mountains just south of Luang Prabang in Laos to find a Hmong village! I got lost on many dirt tracks but finally made it to ban long lao.

Ban long Lao, is a village of just Hmong people. The Hmong are an ethnic group thought to have originated from Mongolia. Little is known of the ancient origin of the Hmong people.

The Hmong people have had a turbulent past. Predominantly living in the jungle to live in peace. They don’t come from any one country and live in Thailand, Laos, China, Myanmar.

They helped the Americans against the communists during America’s “secret war”. They would help soldiers, fight in the jungles to secure safe zones and search and rescue downed American pilots. To the Americans they were heroes that never got their recognition.

America denied any involvement for many years until eventually granting tens of thousands of Hmong refugees. Many Hmong were left in the jungle living in fear once the Americans lost the war.

I go to visit a village that a group of Hmong have inhabited since 1979. They are very welcoming and kind.

I had such a good time here, I could have stayed for the night but decided against it.
