Giraffe Women (Thailand)
The Karen tribe of Thailand follows a bizarre tradition of wearing rings on their neck to get a large neck. They believe the large neck is a symbol of beauty and elegance and add to their attractiveness. The girls start wearing the rings around the neck at the age of 5 to get large necks and enhance their beauty. The rings are added over time to time to keep the neck getting larger.
