 Long Neck Karen tribes live in the northern part of Thailand: Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai area. They are well-known for their elongated necks. The Karen girls and women wear brass rings around their necks, forearms and shins. In earlier days, it was not only the symbol of beauty, but also to protect them from tigers. They start putting 5 rings at the age of 5 and keep adding rings every year until they are 21. Over the years, the rings are replaced by larger rings.  However, there are some women having more than 25 rings around their neck. It is difficult to remove these rings and they normally sleep with the rings on. They normally do not remove it until their husband's death.
