Ban La-Up is a community located in Mae La Noi County. It’s well-known for an agricultural tourist attraction. Lawa people inhabit there, mostly, for over a hundred of years. Regularly, these villagers maintain their own culture and intellect. They make their livings out of growing plants within their own lots. However, as different cultures have affected the village, some of them can speak other languages too, for examples, central Thai and Lanna Thai. Sometimes they even follow Thai traditions and dress like regular people.
