Scope and content : 27 June 1965 – Village life in Thunglaw is based on the concept of “tem kan” (helping). There is not much inter-village cooperation. Wen and Phaed co-operate as a single group. People in Khyn do not speak exactly like the Lue. Wen speech is more intermingled with Kalom than in Ban Phaed, due to a greater rate of intermarriage. However, speech in Ban Phaed has also changed. People coming to Ban Phaed from Sipsongpanna say that the Lue in Ban Phaed are difficult to understand because they have taken on many northern Thai words. Kalom wrap cloth around their heads, but not in a neat turban. Northern Thai people play klong luang (large, single-faced drums), do not engage in the phi nang kwak tradition, and help each other less than the Lue.
