Fascinating! Thanks for the first-hand account of the Kayan people and the great photos, too. It's interesting to note that neck rings are also used in parts of Africa, although the tradition there probably has other origins.
A fascinating place! It's wonderful you had an opportunity to visit the Kayan Villages. I like the best practices you mentioned at the end. I think anyone can apply them when they encounter people from a different culture.
Being a "Survivor" takes on a whole new meaning singing "Eye of the Tige" to keep the animals away! Or maybe it was the off key? I have often wondered about the customs around the neck rings. Thanks for explaining it all so well and your talking about it so practically regarding the Thai laws was sad and timely. Especially here in the US where the immigration issue is front and center. Always a pleasure.
For certain it has to be “off-key”, otherwise it doesn’t work. When you’re messing with tigers you want to make sure you have it right the first time because you might not have a second chance!
I have to wonder, how did you know about all this and what transpired in your brain that resulted in this trip😏? And most of your other trips? One thing I must say is that you are definitely up for adventure❣️❣️
Thanks Gonzo. Your dwarfs top everything though... In all my travels I've never run into the type of characters you're meeting in Peru! I didn't even meet them in Peru. How do you meet these... characters??
Wonderful! My goal is always to provide new information in an entertaining way. The Kayan Women were fascinating, and their strength was inspirational.

It is my understanding the African tribes that wear neck rings are also part of the greater Kayan tribe. Thanks for the additional info, Renato.

Now, that was unexpected! 😀

Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I had heard of these women but knew little about them, until now. Just as an aside, I loved M.A.S.H 🤣💜
I glad you enjoyed it, Simone. Thanks for reading Expect the Unexpected.
Another fascinating read! Now I can’t get Eye of the Tiger out of my head - thanks a lot!
