[亞洲] 商人刻薄長頸族 泰被批剝削弱勢文化

（曼谷11日綜合電）外界一直以爲，“長頸族”女子因愛美而不惜戴上重重的銅環，但這種落伍殘酷風俗得以傳承，其實是錢作怪。話說當初有泰國商人看中她們的特色，于是安排她們偷渡泰北定居吸引遊客，但遊客觀光收入全都進了村長和商人的口袋。她們隻能靠販賣手工藝品維生，生活刻苦。即使政府也刻薄她們，不準她們離村，生病也隻準請醫生到部落醫治。

The Kayan race was originated from Burma.  According to record, there were 3 tribes of Kayan people and due to the political differences, they moved to Northern Thailand.  I did not hear anything about making them as an tourist attraction.  But according to my understanding, the long neck is only an illusion.  It is because the coil of brass has actually deformed the clavicale and make them look like a long neck !
