I have run into two Akha boys in the "industry" in Bangkok as well as several "Jeen Hor" from the villages around Mae Sariang and lots of Karen. Also many Hmong and Lisu in Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai in the past; not sure about present numbers.
Tai-yai are not hilltribals. They are a big ethnic group that mostly inhabit the Shan plateau of Myanmar. Akha and Lisu are hilltribals who inhabit the hill slopes. Jeen-hor are also not hill tribals. They are Chinese people who came to this area due to historical circumstances.
