Thailand - Hill tribes of the Golden Triangle

Within the northern section of Thailand bordering Burma you will find the hilltribes of the Golden Triangle. There are 8-10 different tribes living off the land and holding true to old tradition and way of life. It is up here that you can catch a glimpse of authentic Thailand as it has been untouched by the western world. Perhaps the most notable of the tribes is the Padaung. Often photographed and found on postcards are the women of the tribe with their stretched and braceleted necks. While visiting the north you will have the opportunity to go on hilltribe trek where you will visit some of the tribes and stay on their land. It is a fantastic way to encounter Thailand’s Tribal people but you must first battle with your conscience. Should they really be a tourist attraction? If you do decide to visit the tribes, proceed with the utmost respect.
