I’m not sure what to make of this. At this artificial village, different tribes from Northern Thailand are represented here. Apparently this is a project to help and assist some people of the hill tribes. I did feel uncomfortable and I’m not sure how happy these people are.
I find it intrusive to these people, but according to the driver who took me there, the people are quite happy?
It costs 500 Baht to enter the village, and you are allowed to take pictures as you like.
I did buy some of the crafts made by these people, although you will find most of it at the Night Market in Chiang Mai.

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
