Who they are
The Lao Wieng are a subgroup of the Lao people living primarily in the central and northeastern regions of Thailand, with historical roots linked to the ancient capital of Vientiane. They keep their agricultural traditions, regional language, and strong community bonds alive. Their cultural identity is closely tied to traditional Buddhism and ancestral practices, forming a community with almost no contact with the gospel message.
