Northern Thailand is part of an area called the Golden Triangle because of the culture of opium poppy. This is a really profitable product for many traffickers in Thailand and neighboring countries.

This land’s forests hide villages inhabited mainly by people of tribal ethnicity from Myanmar, Laos and China. They are called “mountain tribes”: semi-nomadic human groups, partially not registered at the Registry yet and therefore without personal or land ownership documents. They generally do not attend school and do not speak Thai, but only their own dialects. In the last few years, they have been going through a period of great cultural change, since they have to fit into the modern world and in more socio-economically developed societies.
