Most people know of the Karen people from television documentaries, magazines and
encyclopedias as the “long-neck” or “giraffe” tribe. But the women who wear these brass rings
on their neck belong to a sub-group of the Karen known as the Padaung. Whatever the origin
of the custom one of the more common reasons it continues today, particularly in Thailand, is
tourism. Although the Padaung have migrated to Thailand in only the last ten years, they have
become the most popular “attraction” for hill-tribe trekking tourists. Some have written of this
as exploitation of the Padaung; many westerners liken the experience of visiting one of these
villages to visiting a human zoo. Some tour operators in Thailand now refuse to take tourists
into such villages, while some tourists boycott those operators that do.
