Two buffalos taking a rest on the sand beach along Hin Boun river. Buffalos and cows are important cattles used for both transport and farming as well as for milk and meat production. Not all houses or families own buffalos. Some farmers own just a couple of them for farming use.
Local villagers traveling on Hin Boun river. They do not usually travel long distance daily. Many houses along the river own small wooden boat without a mortor that they use for going about their village and to tend to their ducks or for fishing. For a long distance travel they rely on the motor boats operated by few people. Because of higher cost they would form a group to use one boat to save cost. These boats are built by local carpenter. Engines and propellers are imported from abroad.
