The natives of Kayah state are referred to as “Karenni”. Kayah are quite well-known for their practice of stacking metal rings on young girls necks throughout their lifetime to achieve an elongated neck which they consider beautiful. Traditional Kayah clothing is quite colorful and red is the main color used. The clothing is woven from cotton and made into shirts for both men and women and dresses for women. They are adorned with fringe and tassels.
Very interesting but I'm not convinced that the rings on the girl's neck will benefit their health.
