The Karen People (or Longneck People as some call them) are an ethnic group living mostly in Burma and Northern Thailand. There ancestors came from Tibet as refugees and the Karen People have been fighting long for their independence. Today they are the largest hill tribe group in Thailand and some are living from tourism. So I decided to pay them a visit to see how they live. A very interesting trip you can easily combine with a visit at an elephant camp, orchid farm or a water rafting adventure.
