Around Chiang Mai | Long Neck Village
Some things, if you don't see it, I can hardly believe that there is such a picture in this world, just like the Long Neck Village.
People who come to Chiang Mai always spend a day going to Chiang Rai, not only because there are white temples, but also there is a special nation living in them, they are considered to be the longest nation in the world.
The village where they live is very small, not even a village, and the conditions are very simple. They are basically thatched cottages. In the back of the house, the front house is a shop, selling some of their own crafts.
Long Neck Village is the oldest 56 years old, and the copper ring is about 70 cm.
Tour with group or chartered to Qinglai is more convenient
Tickets: 300 baht / person

#, the first to be a refugee from Myanmar who fled to northern Thailand, the number is very rare, gradually decreasing. The name is called the Karen family. In Changnong Village, you can buy handmade cotton scarves, 150-250 baht.
The whole small village is very quiet. There are Aka stalls at the door to do business. The characteristics of the costumes are quite different from those of the Changyang people. Visitors who follow the Chiang Rai line can visit directly. Otherwise, they will pay 300 baht. Unusual tickets. The
Chang Neck family does not recommend large-scale visits. The area available for play is a small part, and it is back to the starting point around a circle.
The life of the tribe is very simple. The front part is the working area of daily weaving, which can be used for taking pictures or taking photos & selling handmade scarves and local coats. The area behind is the weekday living area.
All women in the family began wearing a collar at the age of three or five, and each year added a circle, and they could no longer be removed. The neck relied on the collar for a long time and the weight of the head was severely deformed. They can actually maintain the details of life of all normal people, including wearing them to take a bath. Most women in the
family have a good face. You can choose to take a group photo with them, but it is best to remember to tip, even if it is only 20 baht.

Northern Thailand is a special place, especially in Chiang Rai, which borders Laos and Myanmar. There are both white temples and black temples that make the world a side, and some relatively hidden villages, such as the Long Neck Village. The woman of the Long Neck Village began wearing a copper collar when she was five years old, until she became a squatter. This custom is very strange to outsiders. Some people even say it is cruel, but the locals are used to this life.

The Long Neck is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Northern Thailand. It originated from the Karen ethnic group in Myanmar. It escaped to the Golden Triangle more than 20 years ago. Thailand is called the Ba Dang.
The long-term war has kept the woman in the family from maintaining the traditional custom of wearing a copper ring on the neck for self-defense. They started on the neck from the age of 5 years old and added a ring every year, and up to 25 collars on the neck.
It is said that the weight of the collar has collapsed the women's collarbone, so I feel that the neck is getting longer, so that I think it is beautiful enough. They live entirely on the tourism industry, dress up for money, put a heavy shackle on life, and show the cruel beauty to the world.

This is a local village that still preserves many traditional customs. Although we have come to see the feeling of selling things, we can still see the traditions they themselves represent. Yes, yes.
This is one of the ethnic minorities in Thailand. They have long necks as their beauty and longevity. They have been wearing them since childhood. They add a circle to it every year they grow, and they must wear it throughout their lives. There are few tourists, and you need to buy tickets to enter. There are many stalls. They sell some handicrafts, including scarves, various wooden puppets, and copper rings. The price is not expensive, the building is very simple, and the houses are all wooden In the house, most of the people I saw were women. Many children would ask for photos and tips. The environment was dirty and messy, so it is not recommended to go there.
The long-necked tribe was originally a minority ethnic group in the mountainous areas of Myanmar, and moved to northern Thailand to escape the war. Become a stateless refugee. Local women believe that wearing a copper ring on the neck is a symbol of beauty and wealth. Therefore, from the age of 10, a copper ring weighing 1kg will be worn on the neck every year until they grow up. Their neck length is no different from ordinary people, but their collarbones and shoulder bones are compressed and sunken by wearing heavy copper rings all the year round, so they look extremely long. It can be said that a long neck is a sickly, incomplete beauty. Because of their strange decoration, they attract many curious tourists. Nowadays, visiting Long-Neck Villages has become a business. Long-Neck Villages are fenced up and tourists are charged tickets. But at the same time, most of the long-necked people live in poverty, and their only source of income is the tickets for tourists to visit the village and selling the scarves they have woven to tourists. Although the long neck can attract tourists, it cannot change their embarrassing fate.
This is a small village. Previously, I lived on the mountain and took this to prevent the bite of my neck. So I inherited this custom. Now I have moved, I can basically not take it. But there is still such a custom. I brought up to 27⭕ and bought a scarf 200 baht. It's a bit pitted. The stalls and the night market are only 100 baht
