#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…
