🔸 The Hmong are the second largest hill tribe group in Thailand making up approximately 17% of the total hill tribe population. There are an estimated 125,000 Hmong living in Thailand, which makes it the second-largest minority group (after the Karen).

The Hmong are spread out throughout Southeast Asia, and can be found in Southern China 🇨🇳, Northern Vietnam 🇻🇳, Laos 🇱🇦, Thailand 🇹🇭, and Myanmar 🇲🇲.

✦ There are 3 types of Hmong in Thailand
– The Blue Hmong (also known as the Black Meo, Flowery Meo or Striped Meo)
– The White Hmong (Hmong Daw)
– The Gua M’ba Hmong (which literally means Armband Hmong, and who are a subgroup of the White Hmong mostly living in refugee camps now)

The Hmong tend to be located in higher altitudes (1,000m above sea level). Of all the tribes the Hmong were the most heavily engaged in opium growing, but since this was outlawed in 1958 they mainly grow rice, corn, and other crops now.

🔸 Traditional Costume 🔸
The hemp plant was abundant in areas, in which the Hmong resided historically. Therefore over the years, they learned how to make material from the plant, and so a lot of their traditional costume is made from hemp. They will decorate the hemp using batik methods and embroidering it which they are highly skilled and famed for.

The Blue Hmong females wear pleated skirts made of hemp dyed with blue and white batik patterns.
The women’s jackets are made of black cloth decorated with elaborate embroidery.
The male’s clothes are also made of loose-fitting black material, with colorful embroidery on the jackets. In addition to colorful costumes, the Hmong wear silver for adornment and as a display of wealth.
Today the Hmong mainly wear their traditional costumes on special occasions such as at New Year.
