There are approximately 21,000 Lisu's living in Thailand's northern provinces of Chaing Mai, Mae Hong Sorn and Chiang Rai. They originate from eastern Tibet. Their houses are built on the ground, with dirt floors and bamboo walls around a central ridge. For many generations the main means of livelihood for many of the Lisu people has been the cultivation of the opium poppy. Some of these people have given up poppy growing, and are now seeking to supplement their income through the sale of skilfully produced crafts.
