Kui people - Kui (English spelling)
In Thai, they are called Soai. They are a Mon-Khmer speaking ethnic group that live in the hills from northeastern Thailand to Cambodia. Their population is estimated at over 600,000. In the past, their main occupation was slash-and-burn agriculture with hoes, but now most of them cultivate rice, and some are involved in elephant hunting and ironsmithing. Buddhism has been deeply ingrained in them, along with their traditional animist beliefs.

タイ語ではソアイ Soaiという。北東タイからカンボジアにかけての丘陵に住むモン=クメール語系民族。人口は 60万人以上と推定される。かつては鍬耕作による焼畑農耕が生業の中心であったが,現在は大部分が水稲耕作を行い,象狩りや鉄鍛冶にたずさわる者もある。在来の精霊信仰に仏教が大きく浸透している。
