01 MARCH 2014 - MAE SOT, TAK, THAILAND: A Burmese man gets water from a well in the Burmese community in the forest a few kilometers north of Mae Sot. Mae Sot, on the Thai-Myanmer (Burma) border, has a very large population of Burmese migrants. Some are refugees who left Myanmar to escape civil unrest and political persecution, others are "economic refugees" who came to Thailand looking for work and better opportunities.
