About Karen Village:

• Karen Village, also known as the "Long Neck Village," is a community of Karen people located in the Chiang Mai Province of northern Thailand. The village is known for its women who wear brass rings around their necks, earning it the nickname Long Neck Village.
• The tradition of wearing these rings dates back centuries and is believed to have originated as a form of protection from tigers and other dangerous animals. Today, it has become a tourist attraction, and visitors can interact with the Karen people, learn about their culture, and purchase handicrafts.

Know Before you go for 2 Days Trek To Karen Village With Stay:

• Toilet paper, towels, flip flops or sandals, suitable hiking shoes (you can't rely on sandals/flip flops for the hike), mosquito repellent, a jacket (it gets cool in the evening), a flashlight, and a bathing suit are all things I would advise bringing with you on our trek.
• The only lavatory in the village is an outhouse and there is no electricity.
• For the evenings in the village, I would suggest packing long trousers. You may, however, don shorts for the walk.
• Beer, water, and Coca-Cola are available for purchase in the village. In keeping with the custom of the community, there are shower facilities as well, although there is no hot water.
• In the room, we supply a mattress, blankets, pillows, and a mosquito net for your bed.
• I would advise you to only pack what you really need because you will have to carry your belongings. Leave the extras at the hotel or in the car.
• You are welcome to bring your camera, phone, and other electronic equipment. We will have a waterproof bag available for you during the traditional bamboo rafting. If it would be more comfortable for you, we can also offer life jackets.
