I had only heard that in Dien Bien Phu there are Thai people who speak Thai and can communicate well. My mother never had the chance to have a proper conversation.
On this trip to Dien Bien Phu, I strolled through the market where most people are Black Thai. I talked with a vendor who is Black Thai. In Dien Bien Phu, they are called that. I also got a haircut at a shop and met another large group of Black Thai people. We had a great time chatting. The Black Thai people in Dien Bien Phu have lived here for a long time. I haven't researched exactly since when, but I found out that the Black Thai are also known as Lao Song, known to Thai people. Renunakhon is also home to Black Thai people. There is Urenu liquor that I have tasted before.
The Black Thai people are distinctive for their high hair buns, beautifully rolled and styled. In Dien Bien Phu, if you see this hairstyle, feel free to start a conversation. The Black Thai in Dien Bien Phu are cheerful and very friendly. When they learn that we are Thai and speak Thai, they enjoy talking with us and invite us to eat at their homes and travel together. Unfortunately, the next day I had to leave early for Sapa, otherwise I would have stayed a night at a Black Thai home in Dien Bien Phu for sure.
I have some additional information from Wikipedia. The Tai Dam [Black Tai] or Lao Song are a Tai ethnic group originally from the former Sip Song Chau Tai region or the Black and Red River basins in northern Vietnam, which is the original homeland of the Tai Dam. During the French colonial period in Vietnam and Laos, the tribes living in the Black River basin were called Tai Dam. The name Tai Dam does not mean they live in the Black River basin.
The name comes from the fact that this Tai group traditionally wears black clothing dyed with indigo or dyer's woad. The term "Lao Song" is not ethnically Lao; it is used because of their migration through Laos. Calling them "Song people" or "Black Tai" is more accurate, similar to how they are called "Song" or "Black Tai" in Phetchaburi province, Thailand, besides the northeast and northern regions where Black Tai have migrated.
The Black Tai have also migrated to central Thailand, where they are called Lao Song. It is believed that "Song" comes from the Tai Dam word "Suang" or "Sung," meaning pants, because the Black Tai traditionally wear black pants. During the reign of King Taksin the Great, when he attacked Vientiane in 1779, he relocated Black Tai migrants from Sip Song Chau Tai to settle in Phetchaburi. Later in 1792,
during the reign of King Rama I, and in 1838 during King Rama III's reign, the army marched to attack Lan Xang and relocated more people. Today, they are settled across many provinces such as Ratchaburi, Nakhon Pathom, Suphanburi, Phichit, Phitsanulok, Kanchanaburi, Lopburi, Saraburi, Loei, Chumphon, and Surat Thani. They are now called Thai Song or "Black Tai" living in Mai Chau.
Vietnam is 136 kilometers west of Hanoi. Of course, I will travel to gather information and talk with the White Thai to share with friends on mr.hotsia. April 2011.
