Mia Farang by Elin Berge

Mia Farang is the Thai expression for "woman married to Westerner". A decade ago this expression was an insult, but today these women have gained peoples respect. Many of the women that enter marriage migration are from the poor Isaan province in northeastern Thailand. Due to cultural reasons, the task of supporting the parents has been put on the shoulders of the daughters. To find work, many young women leave their home villages.
