The Hmong village is situated near the summit of Doi Suthep. It is home of Hmong hill tribe, one of 6 major hill tribes in Thailand. This Hmong tribal village consists of museum, beautiful gardens, houses and souvenir shops. Formerly, Doi Pui Hmong Tribal village cultivated opium. Originally opium was cultivated on this land by a Hmong community which settled in Baan Pang Pa Ka village, Tambon Pong Yang, Amphur Mae Rim, Chiang Mai province. In 1953-1954, the Thai government sent soldiers to eradicate drugs in Pang Pa Ka village, and the community disintegrated. The villagers migrated to Baan Doi Pui. In 1963, His majesty the King gave Thai nationality to the villagers and introduced them to lychee cultivation by offering 16 lychee trees for each household. As a result, the villagers stopped opium cultivation permanently in 1972.
