In the scenic landscape of the Chiang Rai’s undulating hills, various ethnic groups known as ‘hill tribes’ have made their homes in the northern locales of Thailand. These tribes, recognized for their hill-side dwellings, once saw their business prowess disrupted due to rampant drug trafficking that led to the former infamy of the Golden Triangle. However, modern times see them primarily involved in farming and crafting trades, supplemented by the increasing influx of tourists and adventurers. Many of these settlements have a long history spanning over a century, yet the distinctive traits among these tribes can be elusive to the untrained observer. Tours like this one offer a glimpse into the unique cultures of the prominent Doi Mae Salong hill tribes.
