Ban Pa Pae is home to the Lua hill tribe, also known as Le Wuea and Lawa.

Traditionally, the people are rice farmers, cultivating one crop per year on terraces in the mountainous terrain.

In 1970, King Bhumibol and the queen visited Ban Pa Pae.

Produce grown in the village is sold to the Mae Sariang Royal Project Development Centre.
