Phuan originally inhabited the Chiang Khwang (Xieng Khouang) area of Laos. During the 19th century, the Siamese government sought to control these people both by resettling many of them in Thailand and by extending, through conquest, control over their homeland. The descendants of some who were resettled in central Thailand continue to retain a distinctive identity in contemporary Thailand.
