Pakayor or Karen live in Umphang more than 200 years, according to Laitungkuh village settle legend. Karen life along Meachun river is nearly the same as traditional life. Their lives are close and respect to nature that why forest here still alive.
They make daily life products, utensils or tools such as clothes, basket, tools etc by themselves. Traditional house is made from bamboo. Their foods are in their fields or in the forest.
Pakayor is Karen word meaning man or mankind. We suspect that they call themselves in this way because they against racism by declaring as mankind.
