World Directory of Minorities and Indigenous Peoples: Tai and other hill people

Tribal Lao Tai live in the higher valleys and on the middle slopes of the mountains in northern Laos (and in adjacent areas of south-west China, north Thailand and north-west Vietnam). Largely self-sufficient, they cultivate rice on irrigated terraces as well as corn, wheat and beans, and also engage in swidden agriculture.
