There are approximately about 92,000 Hmong people living in Thailand.
There are mainly two subtribes of Hmong, namely the White and the Blue (Green). White Hmong women produce some of the most exquisite needlework to be found anywhere in the world, Blue Hmong women are the only producers of batik cloth among the tribal people. Their clothing is richly decorated with magnificent embroidery, applique, cutwork, pom-poms, batik cloth and silver jewellery.
Many Hmong men are skilled blacksmiths and gunsmiths.
