Yumbri

"Yumbri" is the name used for themselves by small bands of hunter-gatherers in northern Thailand and neighboring Laos. Their population was estimated at about 150 in 1938. Their traditional hunter-gatherer subsistence economy may now have largely disappeared. Yumbri are known to the Lao and Thai as "Phi Tong Luang" and are called "Ma Ku" by the Meo.
