What to do in Ban Luang?
The main attraction of Ban Luang is the village where the Mlabri are living. Be aware that of course this is not anymore a genuine Mlabri village like it is shown about 15 years ago. The Mlabri were originally a kind of forrest gypsies without a real village. They lived from hunting in the forrest. But most of the forrest is gone and replaces by corn plantations. So they now live together with a Hmong community.
