Amazing Thailand
Land of smiles
Hill Tribe Museum and Education Centre
The indigenous populations of Northern Thailand have been part of the region for centuries, but exploitation for the tourist dollar means that it can be hard to know if your visit is ethical.
The best way to get an understanding of these fascinating tribal groups is to arrange a visit with the education center in town. Set up in association with the Population and Community Development Association (PDA), this display gives insights into the traditional way of life and works with a number of communities including the Karen, Akha, Hmong and Lahu people. Their daily tours to visit the hill tribes are enlightening and respectful, with profits being invested back into the communities.
