About Long Neck Karen Village (Tha Sud)

A village of Padong Karen women who wear brass coils stacked around their necks — a centuries-old tradition. You can meet residents, watch weaving demonstrations, and buy crafts directly from the makers.

Local tip: Opinions on visiting are divided, but the women here have chosen to maintain their tradition and tourism income supports the community directly. Visit with respect: buy something, take only offered photos, no touching. The entrance fee goes to the community.
