Despite its poor quality this
photo is interesting in that it shows an elderly Southern White
Thai (Tai Mai Chau) woman wearing the traditional everyday white
headcloth left un-dyed which is now infrequently worn. She
is wearing a skirt with a black (or indigo) body and without a hem
piece. With this she is wearing a black blouse with slim arms
in the older fashion rather than a modern style blouse from commercial
cloth. Mai Chau District in Hoa Binh Province near the border
with the north-western part of Thanh Hoa Province in north west
Vietnam.
