Hmong Report-Phuchifa, Chiang Rai Province

Phuchifa is on the Laos border in Chiang Rai Province, Northern Thailand. It is a tourist attraction because of its beautiful scenery and view into Laos. The mountain shown here is among the highest peaks in Thailand and has a beautiful sunrise coming out of Laos.

There are beautiful gardens and tourist facilities for visitors. Not far away, there are Hmong living in primitive villages, having escaped from Laos over the years to live free in Thailand. Not all the Hmong are as poor as this one village

pictured here, but many are.

HIM Group Leader has been serving here among the Hmong for several weeks. Once or twice a month, Hmong are coming over from Laos for Leadership Training and Bible Study.
