Many travellers to Doi Suthep-Pui National Park stop their journey at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, although just a few kilometres ahead is where Doi Pui’s Hmong ethnic hill-tribe lives. The road up to the village is steep but well-paved. If you are interested in learning about the livelihood of Thailand’s ethnic hill-tribe, Doi Pui is one of the few places close to town to meet and chat with the Hmong ethnic hill-tribe as well as learn about their way of live from the living museum. 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.
