New Thai Photographer Hill Tribe Boy Nat

One can´t stand on one leg,
this is one of our policies
and we´re very happy that we got a second photographer in our team now.
Nat is a half Lisu, half Karen Hill Tribe boy from North Thailand,
from the small city of Mae Chaem,
near the highest mountain of Thailand, Doi Inthanon.
Nat came together with a few hilltribe friends to visit us in our Chiang Mai office
and was asking us, if he could stay with us for a few days.
He lost his job, because of the ongoing crisis in Thailand
and his roommate has stolen all his money and also his clothes.
From the first moment he was very interested in the photographic works,
which we have to do. Chocolate gave the Canon camera to him
to let him try.
Nat was very surprised, how heavy a fully equipped camera can be
and started to do a few shots.

We´ve been amazed by his patience and about his smooth character
and while 2 or 3 days passed away,
we decided to teach him about photography.
Nat was very ambitious, he showed us his patience
on difficult tasks and we decided to invite him
to work with us further on.
Nat agreed immediatly and told us that he has never ever in his young life
thought to get a chance like that.

Now Kitisak “Nat” Jaidee is working with us about 6 weeks already
and soon we will publish his first works.
We already want to say a heartly THANXS
to our ambitious, 19 Years old new crew member Nat.
He brought a fresh wind and a new drive to our team
after a very bad year.
