“A Pga K'nyau Karen community that preserves its unique culture and local wisdom, particularly through its traditional weaving and handicrafts from the Royal Folk Arts and Crafts Center.”

Mae Ping Karen Village is located in Pai District, Mae Hong Son Province. It is a village of the Pga K'nyau (or Karen) hill tribe, well-known for its long-standing preservation of local culture and wisdom.

The village has collaborated with the government to establish the Mae Ping Karen Village Royal Folk Arts and Crafts Center to promote and develop supplementary occupations for the villagers. This is especially true for their hand-woven fabric handicrafts, which feature unique patterns and colors derived from wisdom passed down through generations. Visitors to the village can experience the simple lifestyle of the villagers and purchase high-quality woven products as souvenirs.

Additionally, children in the village often wear traditional tribal attire and offer a friendly welcome to tourists, giving visitors a chance to learn about and experience this beautiful culture up close.
