FULL DAY Tour : AKHA
& YAO HILL TRIBES - CHIANG RAI TOUR
Pick up from hotel continue to
Akha village at Mae Chan District. The Akha people are rightly famous for
their very exotic and beautiful costumes, and can be seen in many towns in
Thailand selling their unique handicrafts. Akha people are usually of small
stature, with dark skin and fine, delicate features. Despite their typical
poverty. They have a resolute spirit and a great sense of humor. Quick to
laugh and joke, they are delightful people to stay with or visit, and are
vary generous with whatever they many have.
Deep within all Akha is the knowledge of 'the Akha way' (the akha zang),
which has dictated the pattern of their lives for hundreds of years. The
Akha originate in Tibet and southern China, and have only recently entered
Thailand, the first immigrants arriving around 1905. They are found only in
the far north of Thailand, mainly in Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai provinces.
The Akha live at various altitudes, depending upon the availability of
suitable land, but typically in a position offering good views over the
surrounding country. Their houses are on low stilts, with a large porch
leading into a square living area with a stove, usually at the back. The
roof is steeply pitched. Their religion prescribes exactly how each action
should be performed. Any deviation from the traditional is believed to lead
to disaster.
The Yao hail from southern China, and at one time had considerable prestige
within the Chinese Empire, to the extent that at one time a Yao princess was
married to an emperor of China. The Yao in Thailand are a sub-group called
"Mien" of the greater Yao family while most Yao inhabit southern China,
Laos, and northern Vietnam. They are the only minority group in Thailand to
have used a written language-Chinese- and practice a written religion based
on medieval Chinese Taoism. In recent years, however, there have been many
converts to Christianity and Buddhism. Their villages are widely scattered
throughout the northeastern part of northern Thailand, with concentrations
around Nan, Phayao, and Chiang Rai. The costume of the women is very
distinctive, with a long black jacket with lapels of bright scarlet wool,
not unlike a Hawaiian lei. Heavily embroidered loose trousers in intricate
designs are orn, and a similarly embroidered black turban. The teeth are
commonly capped with gold. The skullcaps of babies are very beautiful,
richly embroidered with red or pink pom-poms. On special occasions, women
and children wear silver neck-rings, with silver chains extending down the
back decorated with silver ornaments.
Men wear a loose jacket, which buttons diagonally across the front, with
embroidered pockets and edgings.
 Yao
villages are typically at high altitudes, with houses built of wooden planks
on dirt floors. There is a guest platform of bamboo in the communal living
area, and two or more bedrooms. Girls of marriageable age have a private
bedroom in which they can entertain suitors.
The Yao are on the whole a very peaceable and friendly people with a great
sense of honor. They have grace and elegance, and often a naturally
aristocratic demeanor. They are extremely sociable and open, and are
delighted to play hosts to visitors.
The Yao are now integrating into Thai life. Their exquisite embroidery is a
very mareketable commodity, and their willingness to adopt new ways gives
hope for their future within Thailand.
