The Tai Khang live in a land of palm trees, banana trees, and bamboo, which grow in abundance in forests inhabited by animals such as elephants, tigers, leopards, bears, monkeys, and peacocks. They experience many economic, physical, and spiritual needs. Most grow rice as their primary crop, along with tea, cotton, sugarcane, tobacco, coffee, pineapples, and mangoes. They use traditional hand tools, such as wooden hoes and sickles, to plow, plant, weed, and harvest.
Ministry Obstacles: Many of them follow folk religions. They add elements of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism to their spiritual beliefs in hopes of maintaining spiritual harmony.
