Even today, there people still attach brass rings to the some of the women to give the appearance of them having extended necks. Apart from Thai People , there are Thai Yai and The Shan , who are related to Burmese tribes.

Why do Padaung Women wear rings around their necks? In the village of Mae Hong Son province lives a tribe whose female members are known for wearing several copper rings around their necks , a practice that makes the neck look exceptionally long .These tribemen are known as Padaung, a branch of The Karen . The Padaung are known to be hard working . Most of them are farmers who grow rice , cotton and tobacco Many also raise animals. There are two theories on how Padaung women came to wear rings around their naecks . One theory says it was meant to ward off evil spirits that came in the form of tiger. The other focuses on the belief that tribal ancestors were dragons and swans ; thus, the women wear rings around their necks to make them look tall and graceful . Tradition dictates that all Padaung women start wearing the rings around their necks when they are between five and nine years old. But there was a time when only those born on a Wednesday during a full moon were deemed worthy to wear the rings. The most that the women can wear in 32 rings . And these rings have to be replaced with new ones every four years.
