Photographer’s Note

It is said that about 200 years ago King Naratu, killed his father and elder brothers to become the king, has later cut all vassals' wrists so as not to use swords or paddle the boat because of the dread of being assasinated by his close vassals.
This is the origin of paddling with one leg instead of using hands, and this unique view is available only on Inle lake even in Myanmar.
