That time I visit that village is very small because they just use the ticket and crafts maintain living expenses.They putting the copper ring since they are five years old.Every two years will increase one. The long-necked tribe is made up of a Padaung clan in Karen, a minority ethnic group on the northern border with Burma and can only be seen in the town of Mae Hong Son.The neck of the longest neck up to 70 cm. Bathing, long-necked people can only straw into the copper ring saw-like scrub. In order to live, they put on heavy chains and show the world the cruel beauty.

The Karen, originally a Burmese mountainous minority, has lived in eastern Burma for centuries and has lived in the jungle of the mountains for self-sufficiency, and the women in the tribe have always maintained the traditional custom of putting a copper ring on their neck. Although they live in refugee camps in northern Thailand, they are still struggling to maintain their own language and tradition. Having a woman wear a copper collar around her neck is a typical custom for a long-necked tribe.

They will be wearing this copper ring is because their husband scares the wild animals attack their wife so protect their neck. After 25 years old, they will stop adding the copper ring but they will wear until they died. If you guys want to know more about them you can go the google search.Thank you.
