Longneck Karen Village的点评
点评：This was my second visit to Karen people. First time, 7 years ago in 2018, I was at the source, in Kayah State in Myanmar, which borders Thailand west from Chiang Mai.
This time, I included this village on our 2 weeks Thailand tour.
These are the same people who fled Kayah state and the Myanmar oppression to settle themselves in a more friendly and peaceful, yet still restrictive environment. There are several such villages all over northwestern Thailand, whose government gave them shelter, but almost any rights. They have no right for employment, no right for citizenship.
In that way, the only income for their survival is that 300 Baht (9 $) entry fee, and money earned from selling their hand made goods - souvenirs, jewelry, clothes,...
And as I see here, those 9$ seem being a big problem for many - a price of a beer or glass of wine in any EU/US better bar.
This Karen village is around half an hour drive north from Chiang Rai. It's set in the countryside, off the main road. It consists of two main streets - one longer, another shorter. Both streets (unpaved) consist of many stalls selling clothes, jewelry, ethnic symbols,....
You'll see them (all women, men are out in the fields) working, some feeding and playing with their babies or kids. All were very kind, greeting you and no one, I mean really no one was pushy to force you buy something - so common thing in any Thai night market or Phuket beach.
We spent two hours there, having great time and supporting them buying few items. You can freely photograph them, however it's polite to ask and no one refused.

翻译：这是我第二次拜访克伦族。第一次是在 7 年前，即 2018 年，我当时在克伦族的发源地缅甸克耶邦，该邦与泰国接壤，西邻清迈。
这次，我将这个村庄列入了为期 2 周的泰国之旅。
这些人逃离了克耶邦和缅甸的压迫，来到一个更加友好、和平但仍然受到限制的环境中定居。泰国西北部有好几个这样的村庄，政府为他们提供了庇护，但几乎没有任何权利。他们没有就业权，也没有公民权。
因此，他们生存的唯一收入来源是 300 泰铢（9 美元）的入场费，以及出售手工制品（纪念品、珠宝、衣服等）的收入。
正如我在这里看到的，这 9 美元似乎对许多人来说都是一个大问题——这是任何欧盟/美国更好的酒吧里一杯啤酒或一杯葡萄酒的价格。
这个克伦族村庄距离清莱以北约半小时车程。它位于乡下，远离主干道。它由两条主干道组成 - 一条较长，另一条较短。两条街（未铺砌）都有许多摊位，出售衣服、珠宝、民族符号......
你会看到他们（所有女性，男性都在田野里）在工作，一些在喂养和陪伴婴儿或孩子。所有人都非常友好，向你打招呼，没有人，我的意思是真的没有人强迫你买东西 - 这在泰国夜市或普吉岛海滩很常见。
我们在那里呆了两个小时，玩得很开心，并支持他们买了一些东西。你可以自由地给他们拍照，但是礼貌地询问，没有人拒绝。
