"There are several large groups of people and many other smaller ones. If I had to summarize the expat population, it would be as follows: 1. Japanese families who are located here and involved in the factories in Lamphun (a nearby province). 2. American and Korean missionaries who tend to congregate with themselves in the southern region of the city. 3. NGO workers who are often involved in refugee or orphanage work. 4. Families who move here because their work is flexible. 5. Retired expat men who get remarried and have started a "mixed" family," remarked another expat in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
