Hmong Doi Pui is the closest Hill Tribe Village to Chiang Mai and because of this it has become somewhat commercial with many stalls selling not just Hmong handicrafts but a whole range of imported products as well.

Many of the villagers are dressed in traditional Hmong costume and you have the opportunity to see inside a genuine Hmong house. The village boasts a museum with many interesting items of Hmong culture and history.
In the past, the Hmong were great growers of the Opium Poppy and today you can view a very small plantation of poppies kept only to show the visitors. The Hmong, at least in Doi Pui, no longer harvest the opium poppy.
