The Hmong Hill Tribe originally comes from Southern China. The first Hmong villages were established in Northern Thailand on the end of the 19th century. First, we visit the “Community Products Centre” a fantastic workshop where the locals produce clothing and accessories using traditional materials and techniques. The Hmong of Chiang Mai Province still grow hemp and painstakingly produce woven cloth from the plant's fibrous stalks. The hemp cloth is then coloured using natural dyes produced from the indigo plant and other native species. The cloth is then decorated using a batik technique that uses natural bee’s wax.
