Most villages are remote from Thai civilization. Houses are made of teak or cane and usually built on stilts to provide space and shelter for stock. The Karen villagers have few assets and little if any furniture, usually sleeping on floor mats, baking on open fires, and drawing washing and drinking water from a nearby river. They are predominately farmers of agricultural create for their own use and are habitually referred to as 'The farmers of the green forest'. Some speak the Karen language, whilst others speak Thai. The Karen lives in villages of around 25 houses raised on stilts. The villages tend to cluster. Each household consists of the parents and their unmarried children. Married daughters and their families may also live in the same house. The highest authority is the village priest who runs the village along with the elders. Lahu hill tribe Guideline The Lahu are a strong independent and very different ethnic group who number approx 60,000 in Thailand. The Lahu are found primarly in Chiangmai and Chiang Rai provinces, but can also be found in considerable numbers as far south as Tak province. Their settlements are usually faraway from roads and towns, due to their strong commitment to the protection of the Lahu way of life. The Lahu are complex and diverse way of life. In Thailand there are no fewer than six different Lahu tribes, some of whose languages are not mutually intelligible. The majority of Lahus in Thailand are Red Lahu, pantheistic animists who follow a Dtobo, a messianic leader. There are also a significant number of Black, Yellow and Shehleh Lahus in Thailand, many of whom have been Christian for nearly one hundred years. Black Lahu are the most populous throughout Southeast Asia and theirs is considered to be the standard Lahu dialect. Although primarily subsistence farmers, growing rice and corn for their own consumption, the Lahu are also proud of their hunter-warrior heritage. They remain a strict, serious people governed by strong principles of right and wrong, every individual in the village answering to the common will of the elders. While less importance is placed on the extended family than in other hill tribe communities, the Lahu are still strongly committed to principles of unity and working together for survival.
