Long Neck Tribespeople Setup Local Tourist Attraction
Long Neck Tribespeople Setup Local Tourist Attraction

For many years now the Karen long-neck hill tribes have been a tourist drawcard in the north of Thailand, but now a tour company has decided to bring the hilltribes down to earth and has established a community near Pattaya. A total of 19 Karen with long necks and 11 other hilltribe people have been set up in a makeshift village at Khao Cheejan in Na Jomtien sub-district. As is to be expected a number of shops selling tourist trinkets and clothes have been erected while the Karen sit about like exhibits in a zoo. A number of tourists, both Thai and foreign, were seen visiting the village and expressed surprise at seeing the Karen so far south. Khun Weerasak, the manager of the tour company that established the site, said he had permission from the Interior Ministry to bring the Karen to work in Thailand.
