Long Neck Karen Village Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
The Beautiful Karen Tribe
The village if the Karen tribe, also known as the Long Neck tribe, is located in a secluded setting within the forest near Chiang Rai.
The village is beautiful and it was a wonderful cultural experience. There are lots of hand made souvenirs and because they live off tourism, please support them by purchasing some souvenirs. If you do visit, it would be great to be respectful of the people and place there.

The unique Long Neck Karen village
Longneck Karen is one of Karen tribes you can find in Chiang Rai, Northern Thailand… A tribal group once living in the hills in Myanmar (formerly Burma) side of the Thai border, the Karen women wear heavy brass rings around their necks, forearms, and shins.
While the Karen men are mainly field workers and farmers, the women have a rich history of crafting from wood carving to weaving.
While it may seem that the Karen women have unusually long necks, their traditional brass rings actually smash their shoulders and rib cages down just making their necks seem longer.
It is said that in the early days of the Long Necks, the practice of the brass rings was started not just for beauty, but to protect the women against tigers (the possibility of tigers attacking any of the village women at the neck)
The village is kind o a large tourist market villages with the Long Neck Karens stationed by her own hut or stall deligently working on knitting looms or carving something from wood or bamboo… you are of course, welcomed to take photos, and even more encouraged to purchase something to support their livelihood and so on…

Wang Put Tan Tea Plantation Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Wang Put Tan Tea Farm
Enjoy tea and cake while looking out at the beautiful surrounding tea farms from this really cute cafe and tea house :) This place is outside of the village, but if you're comfortable walking for about 35-40 minutes, you can get there on foot from mae salong. Alternatively, you can access it by taxi or motorcycle.
In addition to the Wang Put Tan Tea Farm restaurant, there are 5 rooms on the tea farm hill. Two of the rooms are new and clean, two are comfortable tents with soft mattresses, bathrooms with hot water, and three are glass rooms. Enjoy the scenery all day long. Both types have tea sets available for tasting. The tea here is very fragrant. In addition to breakfast, you can order afternoon tea and dinner (roast pork or sukiyaki set) or choose à la carte. You just have to let us know in advance. And you can choose to eat in your room or at the cafe. The staff are all very friendly and provide very good service.
Friendly and kind staff. I drank some really good tea for digestion. I can't remember the name. You can see the scene while resting after a long ride.

Mae Fa Luang Garden Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Beautiful garden North of Chiang Rai
#timetotravel
North of Chiang Rai is Mae Fah Luang Garden on the mountain of Doi Tung. It’s near Wat Phra That Doi Tung so we visited both. Proper dressing is required: no shorter than the knees and no showing of the stomach. Entrance ticket is 90 Baht and it’s worth. I walk a few steps and the view changes, so beautiful in many angles. A large area over 10 acres. Plants and flowers are well taken care off.
