Akha people are an indigenous tribe that live in the mountains of China/Lao/Thailand and Burma (Myanmar). One can easily recognize Akha women from their impressive headdresses made of silver and jewels.
The women in Lao wear French Indochina silver coins, whereas those in Myanmar wear Indian silver coins."
