Originally from Burma/Myanmar near the country's southeastern border with Thailand, the Kayan (Padaung) people have found themselves encumbered not only by ethnic and political strife and their homeland, but also by their own unique traditions. Their ancient custom of permanently adorning their daughters with brass rings to elongate their necks has made the Kayan a major tourist attraction, as well as a target for exploitation on both sides of the border.
