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

Always ask permission before taking a photo

Support local crafts by buying souvenirs

Organization of the session
