About an hour's drive up the mountain from the old town of Chiang Mai. A place where the memories of the former kingdom and the culture of the ethnic minorities living today quietly blend together in the high altitude air -
That is Hmong Village at Doi Pui.
Beautiful ethnic costumes, hand-woven fabrics, delicious herbal tea...
This is a hidden gem that adds a "simple and dense time" to sightseeing in northern Thailand.
👀Highlights✨
The life of the Hmong people spreads out on the mountain⛰️🏠
This village, located further inland from Doi Suthep, is at a high altitude and has a cool and tranquil air.
As you walk up the stone-paved slope, you will meet villagers wearing colorful Hmong traditional costumes.
The roofs of the houses are low and made of old-fashioned wood and bamboo. Just one step inside and you will feel as if you have wandered into another world of Thailand.
Market for handicrafts and traditional costumes 🧵🎨
There is a small market in the center of the village, where embroidery, textiles, and silverwork made by Hmong women are lined up.
You may find a unique item that is perfect as a souvenir from your trip, such as a colorful pouch, clothing, or cloth brooch.
You can rent a costume (for a small fee) and take a photo in a traditional costume! The mountain range and bamboo houses spread out in the background, creating a picture-book-like scene ✨
Mountain herbal tea and a quiet break 🍵🌿
There is a small herbal tea stand and a local cafe at the back of the village, where you can enjoy a relaxing time while enjoying the tranquility of the mountains while sipping hot herbal tea.
We recommend "Lemongrass tea" and "Hmong blend tea". You can also purchase dried herbal tea as a souvenir.

The Hmong village of Doi Pui is not a huge temple or a flashy facility.
However, it is filled with the tranquility of the mountains, the handiwork of the people, and the warmth of a simple life.
A place where you can experience the real Northern Thailand in the middle of a tiring trip - that is the greatest attraction of this village.
