Long-Necked Karen Village: Dive into the ancient traditions of Thailand
History and location
The Karen village is located in a picturesque mountainous area, a 3-4-hour drive from Chiang Mai, close to the border with Myanmar. This is a unique place where centuries-old traditions and original culture of the mountain people are carefully preserved.
A unique tradition
The main feature of the Karen tribe is the ancient tradition of women wearing brass rings around their necks. The village is home to the world record holder – a woman with a neck length of 32 centimeters. This tradition begins at an early age:
From the age of 4-5, girls start wearing their first rings
By the age of majority, the total weight of jewelry reaches 5 kilograms.
The number of rings can reach 20-25 pieces
Anatomical aspect
Interesting fact: contrary to popular belief, rings do not physically lengthen the neck. The following process occurs:
The rings gradually lower the collarbone
The rib cage is deformed
The visual effect of an elongated neck is created
Cultural significance
Wearing rings in Karen culture has a deep meaning:
A symbol of feminine beauty and grace
Indicator of social status in the community
Traditional protection from evil spirits
Element of a people's cultural identity
Modern village life
Today, Karen village is not only a place of preserving traditions, but also a center of traditional crafts:
Women are engaged in weaving
Create unique handmade items
Support ancient needlework techniques
What you can buy
Visitors can purchase authentic handmade items:
Woven stoles and plaids
Traditional bags and accessories
Decorative towels and napkins
Unique figurines and souvenirs
User etiquette
When visiting the village, it is important to follow the rules of etiquette:
Always ask permission before taking a photo
Respect local traditions
Communicate with residents in a polite and friendly way
Support local crafts by buying souvenirs
Organization of the session
Guided tours are available from Chiang Mai
It is better to choose the morning hours for your session
It is recommended to bring water and a headdress
