Each ethnic group often has its own beauty cultures and customs, and for Kayan tribe women, they beautify by wearing a series of bracelets to keep their necks out. This necklace was made thousands of years ago and is still practiced today in this tribe. The Kayan tribe belongs to the Kareni ethnic group, the language of the Burmese-Tibetan group, which lives mainly in Kayah State, eastern Myanmar. This is a tribe of ancient origin in Myanmar, up to this time the tribe has only about 7000 people. When the girl of the tribe is 5 years old, she will start wearing necklaces, starting with small bronze necklaces. These bracelets are usually quite heavy and are only slightly more in diameter than the neck. The larger the number of rings, the more mature, beautiful and noble the woman is. There are people in the long-necked tribe who wear up to 37 bracelets with a weight of more than 10Kg. What a figure. Explaining this necklace, they argue that wearing necklaces is both to distinguish it from the beauty customs of other tribes and to reduce beauty in order to limit the trafficking of women and the blurring of other tribes. In addition, there is also a rather interesting legend of this custom: Once the tribe chief dreamed and was warned that on the fourth day after the birth of his son, a tiger would appear and attack the villagers. It will bite their necks to death. As a result, the tribe decided to put a ring around their necks to avoid being attacked by predators.<br><br>By the age of 20 there could be more than 23 necklaces on each young woman's neck. They are stacked and cause their necks to grow abnormally long and somewhat peculiar due to the weight that puts pressure on the collarbone and chest area. So the skin of their neck area is very thin, the neck is also very weak. However, they do not intend to give up the number of rounds because after removing the round the women will have weakened health and die. They also feel strange as being "naked" without this number of rounds. This necklace will pause when the woman passes the age of 45. The Kayan women will wear necklaces until they die. If they betray their husbands, their necklaces will be removed as punishment and shunned by the community.<br><br>Although peculiar, this custom attracts thousands of people to Myanmar to travel each year
