erg Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Wouldt it be an idea to start a hilltribe forum? I am "married" to an Akha, without an ID card, and i know that in the north (chiang Rai in my case) there are many farang who have hilltribe girls. Most of us are having a lot of problems, facing visas, buying land,etc. I think a forum were we can exchange experience would be helpfull. thanks erg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I'd use the Chiang Rai forum for now and see what kind of intrest it draws. cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajarn Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I think it is not worthy of a forum.. Afterall, how far can it go once you've expressed your experience? It's the same as being married to an 'illegal Alien', can't buy land/house, etc., and can be arrested for harbouring (I've know of at least 2 men who've been deported under this charge).. Not much else to say on the subject, it seems to me. Everything else seems better suited to a local forum, imo. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdnvic Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Would still invite you to discuss Akha culture, or other related issues in the other subforums though. cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gburns57au Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I would agree with that....the hill tribe people have such a different perspective and tradition. I have read a little bit on the Akha People....it would be interesting to hear some more on their culture and traditions. especially pre farang times.

akha Posted May 19, 2011 Share Posted May 19, 2011 Excuse me, but there are close to 400,000 hill tribe people living in Thailand and I think it is an excellent forum. The people who are not interested, let them read something else. There are more than 70,000 Akha alone, and more than a few married to expats. There are few people who come to Thailand who don't know about the Akha or other tribes and MANY people who come to Thailand with that being one of their main reasons for coming, to see the hill tribe. They are a major draw on Tourism Authority posters, and in Chiangmai, Chaingrai and many other towns. They have a long history in Thailand. Start a forum and see how it runs, I think you will be surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
