How about Changlong Village in Chiang Rai? Are there any interesting places?

Changjing Village is recommended in many local places in Chiang Mai, and most of them are a point in a one-day tour in Chiang Rai. The village is very simple, the roads are all dirt roads, there are many flowers and plants at the door, there are thatched sheds, you can eat and rest for others, but there are a little more mosquitoes. You can finish the tour in about 40 minutes. The village is very small, only a U-shaped distance is full of small shops, each of which is occupied by a girl, selling very similar textiles and handicrafts. It is said that there are only 60 people in the village, and girls will wear five rings around their necks from the age of three, and then increase year by year. The long-necked ethnic group is one of the most selling tourist features in northern Thailand. The long-necked ethnic group is a branch of the Karen ethnic group, which originated in Myanmar and is called Batang people in Thailand. Before the completion of the 1965 through highway, they lived a self-sufficient and isolated life for a long time. An hour's drive from Sola Town in the center of the Golden Triangle to the southwest, 30 kilometers away from Meihongshun County, is called Naisuo Village, which is the hometown of long-necked people. At present, there are about 500 Batang people in Naisuo village. They are still bound and are simple vendors, as if the wind of civilization is not enough to affect this calm village. Because these villages are almost not clearly shown on the map, it is recommended not to travel freely. It is suggested that they can travel with a group in Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai. At present, the Changjing Ethnic Village is actually managed by the local government. You need tickets to enter the village, and everyone will get a bamboo stick. There are stalls selling souvenirs on both sides of the village road, mainly scarves woven from local brocade and handmade products, and each person can only weave one scarf every day. Girl Batang is not only hospitable, but also cute. Tourists can take photos with them at will by paying a tip of 20 baht. They won't complain if they don't give money, and they will never be as greedy as some newspapers describe, or even ask for dollars. Girl Batang will wear a bronze ring to lift her neck from the age of five, and then once every two years until she is married at the age of 25. Copper rings can be worn for life, and can only be increased, but not decreased, until death, no matter whether you take a shower or sleep. The copper ring is solid and shiny, with a maximum of 25 turns and a weight of 5 kg. Not only the neck, but also their calves, knees and arms are covered with copper rings, and their weight has increased by 7 kilograms. In fact, those collars didn't really lengthen the neck, just pressed the shoulder clavicle down a little, so it looked as if the neck was "lengthened". In addition, with the increase of age, these women's necks will have to rely on these collars, because if they take off the collars again, their necks will become very fragile and unable to support their heads. Although historians and folklorists have different opinions on the origin of the custom of "long-necked women" winding copper rings. But one thing people already know: the "long-necked woman" continues to exist because of money. Hundreds of Badong tribe members have been living in refugee camps on the border between northern Thailand and Myanmar since they fled their hometown because of the war. Although they are illegal immigrants, because of their unique tourism value, they have a foothold in Thailand and their lives are much better than those of other tribal refugees. In addition to the long-necked people, there are Haila people wearing big earrings and Akka people who are said to have only bathed three times in their lives, so they can understand different national customs. There are many grotesque wood carvings, ancient wheels, simple bamboo chairs and whole snakeskin in the village. The lower part of the house in the village is empty as a storage place. Although the living conditions are relatively simple, there is running water. The whole village tour time is about 1 hour. Besides taking photos with girls, you can also buy some handicrafts you like. As the sun sets, the roadside shrubs are blooming with small flowers, and the distant mountains are bathed in the twilight. There is such a group of people living in the depths of the bamboo forest. 1. The village is relatively simple, so you can bring some mineral water. In addition, there are many mosquitoes, so bring some mosquito repellent or wear long pants. Try to give some hints after taking a group photo, because this is basically their source of life. 3. It is not recommended to organize large teams to visit or support some commercial abnormal performances. Please also respect their national culture when visiting.
