Description:
Playing the top is a traditional Yunnanese sport for the men of Baan Tam-Ngob. The competitors seem to take their game very seriously. They observe anxiously to see whose top would stop spinning first, and therefore, lose the competition. Aside from the high stakes that await the winner, the top competition is also a measure of skills in producing and playing the top as well as the glory of the top-owner. Chiang Mai, Thailand.
