My, what a long neck you have

There’s a tribe of people in northern Thailand that are known for the long neck women. Originally from Burma, the women wrap thick (and heavy!) copper wire around their neck, gradually adding rings to stretch their necks over time. They add a new ring every one to five years, starting at about age 5 or 6. The tribe is still relatively new to Thailand, immigrating only 10-15 years ago. They’re actually not even considered Thai citizens and are only allowed to live on the very northern edge of the country. If they’re caught in other areas, they’re deported back to their home country.
