Ban Mai Pattana is situated on the Chiangrai - Chiang Khon high way in Khuntan district of Chiang Rai province about 280 kilometers northeast of Chiang Mai. It is a resettled village of Mien tribe, who formerly lived in isolated villages on the mountains along the Thai-Laos border. The resettlement village composed of 200 houses with a total population of 800 people. Most of the villagers can speak and understand Thai and the children and young people can go to the local government schools for formal education.

Thai Tribal Crafts started to work with a group of 5 women in this village in 1986. Under the guidance of Thai Tribal Crafts the Mien artisans in this village are capable of making crafts of export quality. Through these artisans Thai Tribal Crafts provided work to 80-100 Mien women living in several villages surrounding Ban Mai Pattana.
