Family Home

Families are the core of White Thai society. In rural villages, the entire immediate family often lives together. Although the father is considered the head of the family, White Thai husbands and wives appear to have peaceful relationships. In fact, the White Thai are distinguished by an almost equal division of labor by sex. Both men and women plow, till, fish, cook, care for the children, clean house, and wash clothes.
