After the middleof the nineteenth century,the Hmong people began to be included in the national vision.When encountering the impact of colonial culture,in order to survive between the state and the colonialists,the Hmong people chose the high-yield “opium cultivation”.On the one hand is to obtain economic benefits for a living,on the other hand,it is hoped that by participating in the opium trade of the colonialists and the country,get asylum from the colonists and the country,not be devastated.However,in the middle of the 20 th century,after the country completely banned narcotics,it immediately reversed.The Hmong people were regarded as opium nations and were completely negated.The survival was unsustainable and the contradiction between the country and the Hmong people was deepening.The state is aware that only anti-narcotics is unable to accommodate the life of the Hmong people.They have successively invited international organizations and European and American developed countries to participate in the transformation of the mountain people.With the help of the replanting plan and the royal plan,after decades of development,Hmong people finally get rid of opium,they began to develop new economic crops and lived a new life on the settled place,and get commend and award national.To the new generation,the choices in livelihoods have shown diversity,and there has been greater conflict in culture and cognition.The choice to enter the city or return to the mountains is not only a lifestyle choice,but also a cultural choice,the spirit of freedom on the mountain and the colorful life of the city are two kinds of cultural collisions,which contain more complex,diverse,and changing perceptions.This thesis regard Thai Hmong people as the research object,Based on the field research,historical literature review,etc.To discusses how to transform and adjust the livelihood of Hmong people in the nearly 200 years of history in Thailand.Focusing on the livelihood choices that Hmong people have experienced in Thailand,we explored from a vertical perspective how this ethnic group of Hmong people adjusts their relationship with Thailand in a complex and diverse social context,thus allowing them to continue living in foreign countries and maintain their own cultural and ethnic border,and successfully integrated into the country’s discourse to achieve identity changes.
