THAILAND POST in 1972 issued a First Day Cover commemorative set of four stamps called "Thai Hill Tribes".
Thai Hill Tribe is a term used in Thailand for all of the various ethnic groups who mostly inhabit the high mountainous northern and western regions of Thailand, including both sides of the border areas between northern Thailand, Laos and Burma, the Phi Pan Nam Range, the Thanon Range (a southern prolongation of the Shan Hills), as well as the Tenasserim Hills in Western Thailand. The seven major hill tribes in Thailand are the Akha (shown), Lahu, Karen, Hmong/Miao (shown), Mien/Yao (shown), Lisu, and Palaung, each with a distinct language and culture.
