Doi Pui (Hmong Tribal Village)

Doi Pui (Hmong Tribal Village)

It was the wonderful time to visit Hmong Tribal Village. This was the first time for me to visit Doi Pui. The weather was cold, cause of thing which I have liked it so much that is the very nice of atmosphere. There are many beautiful natural things wait you to visit, And the most important it is not too far from Wat Prathat Doi Suthep and Bhubing Palace.

            Therefore probably not as authentic as it could be, it still offers an insight into how Thailand’s tribes live. The villagers wear traditional Hmong clothes, sell traditional Hmong handicrafts, and live in traditional Hmong-style homes. However, those looking for a less contrived view of the Hmong may have to go deeper into Chiang Mai! Worth a visit if you have the time. A visit to the Tribal Village is often combined with a visit to Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep and some of the waterfalls in the area, as well as a jaunt to the Hill Tribes Museum.

History of Bhubing Palace
