	Comparative Narrative Part II
		What makes it difficult to understand, until you hear it used in context, is that a woman says ka, unless she's a radio announcer, then she says kop, like a man. Men always say kop, and sa bai di kop (good health, sir) becomes shortened to di kop (good, sir).
		The Thai women speak with a slight breathy effect, and I noticed that when a young Hmong woman switched to Thai, she adopted the characteristics of Thai femininity along with the speech.
		Lue told me they exhorted the Thai citizenry to take good care of the tourists, to be friendly, not to let anyone steal their wallets, not to exploit their naivete, to be alert for tourists trying to cross the road.

	Chiang Kham travel guide for backpackers and travellers to Asia. Accommodation, restaurants and more...
		Chiang Kham is best known for its heavy Thai Lue influence, but today is little more than a rest stop and junction town for people travelling between other larger centres.

		Outlying sites aside, Chiang Kham itself is a bit of a hole, featuring nothing more than a bland hotel, a few places to eat and a rundown Thai Lue Cultural Centre, none of which justify a trip to here alone.
