| In Thailand there is a group of tribal people most commonly referred to as the Hilltribe or Karen people. Most of these groups were nomadic people who over the last 500-1000 years have made their way from as far north as Tibet and have all but settled in the north of Thailand. Each group has developed their own style of dress, dance, food, and art along the way. Presently, most of the hill tribe people make a living by either agriculture or by making and selling their unique style of handicrafts. Silversmithing is one of their most famous styles of expression. |
