Doi Pui Hmong Village, February 2015

Doi Pui Village is on Doi (Mount) Pui near the famous Wat Phra Doi Suthep. It is a village of the Hmong Hill Tribe people of northern Thailand. Like most ethnic hill-tribes of the north, Doi Pui’s Hmong people used to cultivate opium poppies for a living until the royal sustainable projects arrived and transformed the entire village to agricultural farms. Today, the Hmong villagers have income from selling agricultural products as well as tribal souvenirs to visitors.
