practice shifting agriculture. Mostly planting
upland rice, corn and soybeans. Generally you
will find that the womenfolk's works harder than
the men. A traits similar with most hill tribes.
Their houses are not built on stilt rather
directly on the ground. Due to its proximity to
Doi Suthep this particular village is slightly
more commercial and less traditional. Doi Pui

metre above the sea level. Trip continues on to

Sawankhalok pottery that used to be made
hundreds of years ago at Sukhothai and exported
all over the region. With its deep, cracked
glazed finish the style is very distinctive and
some pieces are exceptionally beautiful. Last
but not least, are stops to observe the
