Investigation Services in Chiang-Mai
The Akha
This well known hill tribe is located in the Mae Chan region of Chiang Rai, near the Burmese border. The approximately 30,000-40,000 member population of this tribe has roots traced from the Yunan region in Southern China. They have their own religious beliefs and practises, based somewhat on animism and superstition. The Akha are arguably the most colourful and everyone's idea of what a hill tribe should look like.
The Karen
The Karens, known in Thai as the Kariengs, occupy settlements along the north-western border of Thailand. They are probably the best-known among the all the Hill Tribes, due to their previous entanglements and dispute with the Burmese border patrols. Their population numbers between 250,000-300,000 members. They are regarded to be less pre-occupied with rites and religion than their tribal peers.
