Hill Tribe Museum and Education Centre

Chiang Rai, Thailand

About

Hill Tribe Museum and Education Centre, 620/1 Tanalai Rd, Tel. +66 53 740 088, [8]. Situated in the centre of town, it is aimed at promoting a better understanding of hill tribes and their cultures. The dusty low-key displays include housing styles, tools, utensils and traditional hunting, fishing. and agricultural equipment, but it's worth a visit for an unsanitised view of how the hill tribes are exploited by some Thais and the tourist industry. The centre also runs their own hill tribe tours, where the money actually goes to employ and help the tribes people. Open 08:30 to 18:00. There is a branch of Bangkok's Cabbages and Condoms restaurant downstairs, whose profits go to support family planning and sex education projects in Thailand.
