NECK RING IN MYANMAR

The Kayan tradition of wearing a brass coil around their neck has attracted tourists,
anthropologists and journalist alike. Because of this tradition the Shan people called this longneck tribe Yan Pa Doung meaning Karen brass wound people, this name was adopted by the
Burmans and Thais who refer to the people as Padoung. This particular form of body
modification has likely been a Kayan tradition for over a thousand years. The 'rings' are in fact a
long brass wound spiral. The spiral is wound around the neck manually by womenfolk. Brass is a
tough metal and the process that can take several hours depending on length. A full set of neck
rings weighs about 10kilos. The full set of neck rings is made from three separate coils, the main
neck coil and a wider coil near the shoulders with a small coil wrapped around it at 90 degrees.
Few women wear this full set. Brass coils are also worn around the legs. The rings rubbing
against the skin can cause discomfort and abrasions over a period of time. Typically pieces of
cloth are used to help protect the skin. There are many false stories about the impact the rings
have on movement. Claims that wearing the rings mean you cannot look up or that you have to

drink through a straw and absolutely false. Though heavy the impact the rings have on
movement is minimal and many girls who wear the rings regularly play volleyball.
