Some of the paw khu become "man in the eyes of the Lahu and-in such cases they become
intoxicated with power and often mislead their people into terrible
undertakings and " purification " purges. At present, a Lahu "man
god" (called Pu Chawng Luang or Paw Khu Luang by Thais) lives
in Burma, south of Kengtung and has been responsible for recalling
many Thailand Lahu back to live near him.
