The hill country east of the Nan toward the Lao border, held by Mon-Khmer villages (the modern Lua of Nan, a distinct people from the Lawa, and the Htin).
They farm hill rice, gather lac, wax, honey and forest drugs and work with the salt-makers of Bo Kluea. The names are modern; the Chinese trade lists note the products without the people (the campaign board says; not checked).
