Ban Nam Phiang Din (Long-necked Karen's village) , Maehongson
 

The village is on Pha Bong sub-district is the only village of this kind to be reached by cruising for about an hour along the Pai River, both sides of which are made up of fine scenery.

It is the village by Thailand - Myanmar border.  Here you will find long-necked and long-eared girls.  Handicrafts made by them are available. Price is not so expensive, so did I buy one.

If you want to visit here one of the hotels recommended: Mae Hong Son Riverside. The hotel is located by the same river.  Downstairs of the hotel is the pier, you may hire a long-tail boat to the village.

Long-necked Karen is a symbol of Maehongson tourism. There are 3 major villages of long-necked Karen: Ban Huai Sua Thao, Ban Nai Soi and Ban Nam Pieng Din.

Ban Nam Pieng Din seems gain more popularity. You have to take a long-tailed boat from Maehongson Riverside about 1 hours to the village.
