In ancient times it was a ideal of beauty to have red teeth.
Coloured by the use of a betel nut mixture.
Nowadays elder people, especialy hill tribe people ,
like the old Lisu man on our photo,
still like to chew the betel nut mixture.
What could we say, this smile was coming from the heart.
Happiness !!!
No wonder !!!
The picture has been taken at the Lisu new year festivities at Wieng Haeng, North Thailand
