I don't know about many NGOs per se, but I could give you the names of some
peole who are working in the area you mentioned in your post.  I know a
woman in Sanklhla buri, for example, who is running a weaving project to
keep women occupied and out of the sex trade in Bangkok.  Burmese Relief
Center, in Chiang Mai, is doing good things for Shan refugees from Burma, I
know a Thai woman who adopts schools in Thai *border* villages.  (The kids
are technically Thai, but ethnically different and politically ignored by
the Thai gov't.)  There's a new group, called Indigenous Women's
Development Centre, working on women's issues in the Chiang Mai area.  If
you'd like addresses for any of these, please let me know.  You might also
contact Burmese Relief Center-Japan directly (NBH03114@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
for more information.  Good luck in uyour search.
