Tying The Knot - An Issan Wedding 


Hand Gestures in Thai culture: The Wai, bringing both hands together and raised high up to the forehead, a sign of respect by a country girl with classical siamese profile.

Series of shots about a thai wedding in the rural village of Ban Donwai, N.E. Thailand. The ceremony here shows the "tying of the knot" which is an offering of blessings and protections, also seen holding in his hands, the bride and bridegroom are given money, ripe banana and a ball of sticky rice as symbolic good wishes.
