About Karen Village:
- Karen Village, also known as the "Long Neck Village," is a community of Karen people located in the Chiang Mai Province of northern Thailand. The village is known for its women who wear brass rings around their necks, earning it the nickname Long Neck Village.
- The tradition of wearing these rings dates back centuries and is believed to have originated as a form of protection from tigers and other dangerous animals. Today, it has become a tourist attraction, and visitors can interact with the Karen people, learn about their culture, and purchase handicrafts.
