May 25, 2013 - Mae Sot, Tak, Thailand - Burmese novices on their morning alms rounds walk past a small shop selling snacks and cigarettes in an unofficial village of Burmese refugees north of Mae Sot, Thailand. Their community is about 50 metres from the Burmese border with Thailand. About 200 people live in thatched huts spread throughout the community. They're close enough to Mae Sot that some can work in town and Burmese merchants from Mae Sot come out to their village to do business with them. The Burmese in the village don't residency papers for Thailand and are technically considered illegal immigrants. Fifty years of political turmoil in Burma (Myanmar) has led millions of Burmese to leave their country. Many have settled in neighboring Thailand. Mae Sot, on the Mae Nam Moie (Moie River) is the center of the Burmese emigre community in central western Thailand. There are hundreds of thousands of Burmese refugees and migrants in the area. Many live a shadowy existence without papers and without recourse if they cross Thai authorities. The Burmese have their own schools and hospitals (with funding provided by NGOs). Burmese restaurants and tea houses are common in the area. (Credit Image: © Jack Kurtz/ZUMAPRESS.com)
