long neck village in Chiang mai

first you do need to know that you have to pay 300 bhat for the entrance fee. it’s def worth it since there is no other way you’re able to see those tribe people with your own eyes in reality. there are 5 different tribes in this region, the one named Lahu are not here currently due to pandemic. However, there are still 4 tribes left you’re able to visit! and it is really cool to walk around and try to carry this neck thing which weighs 2 kilos! there are also some cafes and souvenir shops in the entrance. the view here is absolutely amazing. but 300 bhat is a lot, depends on what you’re looking for, if you’re not really interested, it’s okay not to go inside

#holidayvacation visited the Karen Long Neck Village in Chiang Rai and it was an awesome experienced. everyone living there was really nice. i’m really glad I went. if you are wondering what is a Karen they are a tribal group who have historically lived in the hills of Myanmar, side of the Thai border and best recognized for their elongated necks. #travelinspiration#scenicspotguide#unforgettableexperiences#nyedestinations#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation
