A visit to Doi Pui Meo (Hill Tribe) village in ChiangMai, Thailand



Entrance to the Meo Tribal Village



Tribal costumes for sale.
















The Meo Tribal Village is located near Doi Pui, Suthrep Mountain Route. The Meo or Hmong tribal people lives in homes that are constructed with the floor slightly raised for storage food supplies or keeping animals beneath. The house-fronts slope outward and downward.

The village is now more commercial than rural. They have stalls along the route to the village that sells handicrafts, tribal costumes, silver ornaments and seasoned fruits.

Hi,

I visted the Meo tribe in 1978. Nice to see it again. Shame it is commercial. Very remote when I visited. Beautiful Pic's. Thank you for the memories and sharing it with others.
