Phi Tong Luang (Mlabri)

The name Phi Tong Luang appears in the ethnographic and reference literature as an alternative appellation for the Mlabri (also spelled Mrabri), a small group of nomadic hunter-gatherers living in the hill and forest zones along the border area between northern Thailand and Laos. Sources emphasize the group's small population (estimates on the order of a few hundred or fewer) and their cultural distinctiveness and anthropological interest. The supplied materials discuss the group's identity, demography, and regional relations with neighboring ethnic groups (for example Hmong and northern Thai) but do not record any specific events, incidents, or documented hauntings associated with a named village or forest locus called "Phi Tong Luang." Because the term in the provided sources functions as an ethnonym rather than the name of a discrete built site, no geographic coordinates or site-level access information can be confirmed from the materials supplied. The sources also do not provide folkloric accounts, named spirits, eyewitness testimony, or investigative reports describing apparitions, poltergeist activity, or other paranormal phenomena tied to this name.
