Mohinga is a Burmese dish, rice vermicelli in fish soup and considered by many to be the national dish of Burma. It is readily available in most parts of the country. In major cities, street hawkers and roadside stalls sell dozens of dishes of mohinga to the locals and passers-by. Although mohinga is available throughout the day, it is usually eaten as breakfast. This Karen woman prepares a banana shrub which inside pith is used for this soup as a very delicious ingredient.

Karen refugees in a close-by village called Baan Pi Lok live stateless already for many years without the permission to leave their territory. For the two young boys an uncertain future.

When I came here several times I met some Karen people who did remember me. No many foreigners pass this last point in Thailand close the border to Burma.
