Otome Klein Hutheesing’s Birthday

August 18

Otome Klein Hutheesing’s 88^th Birthday with family and friends. The petite and charming Dutch anthropologist has spent decades documenting the lives of the downtrodden – especially, in recent decades, the hill-tribes of northern Thailand. At her home near Wat Gate, she has amassed an impressive collection of hill-tribe costumes, bags and embroidery, as well as old paintings, handicrafts and antiques.
