Pak Tha is a district
(muang) of Bokeo Province in north-western Laos. Laos
is a landlocked country in Southeast Asia, and the thickly
forested landscape consists mostly of rugged mountains
with some plains and plateaus. The Mekong River forms
a large part of the western boundary with Thailand,
whereas the mountains of the Annamite Chain form most
of the eastern border with Vietnam.
The climate is tropical
and monsoon. There is a distinct rainy season from May
to November, followed by a dry season from December
to April. Local tradition holds that there are three
seasons (rainy, cold and hot) as the latter two months
of the climatologically defined dry season are noticeably
hotter than the earlier four months.
The Lahu people are an ethnic group of Southeast Asia
and China.
