Hilltribes in the North.

The six major tribes are the Karen (Kariang, Yang), the Hmong (Meo), the Yao (Mien), the Akha (Ekaw), the Lisu (Lisaw), and the Lahu (Mussur). Mostly, they survive by farming, and they will pick up and go to a new site when they feel the need.

The web page shows quick color sketches of the typical dress of each tribe.
