A picture you can make anywhere in Asia. But i was aiming for at least 4 people on one motorbike and it took me 30 min in a busy street in Hua Hin till this perfect family on their Honda came along.
The technique is called "panning" moving your camera with the subject with a low shutter speed. And doing many years of shooting motorsports, this one was not that difficult to make.
Enjoy...

Most people know of the Karen people from television documentaries, magazines and encyclopedias as the "long-neck" or "giraffe" tribe. But the women who wear these brass rings on their neck belong to a sub-group of the Karen known as the Padaung. There are other sub-groups who do not and never have practiced this custom. A further myth is that these rings act to elongate the wearer's neck. Any chiropractor or orthopedic surgeon will tell you that this would lead to paralysis or death. In fact the appearance of a longer neck is a visual illusion. The weight of the rings pushes down the collar bone, as well as the upper ribs, to such an angle that the collar bone actually appears to be a part of the neck. {source:}
Traveling in the north east of Thailand so it was not such a large trip by boat from Mae Hong Son to these remote villages were these people live close to the Burmese border.
