postheadericon Long-Neck- Giraffe Women of Thailand

Long-Neck- Giraffe Women of Thailand Tube. Duration : 4.25 Mins.


A long rugged jeep ride to the border of Northern Thailand brings you to a world that will soon be gone. In 2001, The Karen, or Kayan group of ethnic minorities from Myamar (Burma) are caught in this simple refugee village, yet keep their dignity ... A kaleidoscope of color combines these basic surroundings with strikingly dressed women selling crafts to picture taking, gawking tourists. We had mixed feelings about going, afraid of it being a zoo...but what we found were gentle, lovely souls, educated and with a great nature, and amazing physical beauty. In recent years, it seems that organizations are trying to help them relocate, and live normal lives...freeing themselves of the money making Neck Coils that both deform and exploit them.
