Karen Village in a Minute
Our Karen guide Jarun brought us to Huay Yuak village. A seldom visited village in the hills surrounding Chiang Mai. The Karen we met welcomed us into their homes and gave us a glimpse at their everyday lives.
Unfortunately, many still live in refugee camps and some tourist villages don’t allow them to leave for work or school.
A defining trait that some have associated with the Karen people are long-necks or neck rings, however that’s just one subset of a subgroup of Karen and not representative of all Karen people.
I recommend hiring a local Karen guide if you’re interested in visiting the Karen people and learning about their history and culture.
If you’d like to help the Karen people, please visit The Karen Hilltribes Trust to find out more:
“Karen Hilltribes Trust is a charity dedicated to working with the Karen people to help them build a better future for themselves.”
