Khun Yuam (Thai: à ¸âà ¸¸à ¸â¢Ã ¸¢à ¸§à ¸¡) is a district (Amphoe) of Mae Hong Son Province, northern Thailand.nnThe small market town of Khun Yuam services the local villages situated in the Yuam River valley, approximately half way between Mae Hong Son and Mae Sariang. It is quite bustling in the mornings as lots of Hmong, Karen and even the rarely encountered Lawa people from the surrounding hills come into town to sell or buy goods but otherwise this is a very sleepy little spot with not really a lot to see.nnnThe Shan (Shan:Thai: à ¹âà ¸âà ¹Æà ¸«à ¸ÂÃ Â¹Ë or à ¸â°Ã ¸²à ¸â¢) are a Tai ethnic group of Southeast Asia. The Shan live primarily in the Shan State of Burma (Myanmar), but also inhabit parts of Mandalay Division, Kachin State, and Kayin State, and in adjacent regions of China, Laos and Thailand.
