Their houses are scattered on mountain side. Sin Chai people’s life is simple, they earn their living by farming, dying indigo, planting flax, weaving fabric.

Sin Chai village seems to be protected by imposing mountains, bushy green forests and terraced fields. The weather here are always cool and sometimes it brings chilly wind and the fog is the familiar image that you can get when you are Sin Chai. In Sin Chai Village, the local gather together and reside in the valley, along with the crystal and fresh stream running from imposing Ngu Chi Son’s foot.
