We went on an inclusive tour to the Golden Triangle and visiting the hill tribes was part of it. We visited the Akha tribe originally from China and the Palong long necked tribe from Burma. Our tour price included the Akha tribe, a lovely people but for sure the stars of the show were the long necked people. We had to pay an extra 300baht to walk the 10 metres across a bridge that separated the tribes. At first I was intrigued as I clicked away and listened to the tour guide educate us in the ways of the Palong but after a little while I felt that they were part of a freak show and we were paying to watch. They seemed quite content to sit and pose while we snapped away with our cameras and then gestured towards their wares for us to peruse and purchase. By the time I had done the circuit I did feel as though they were being exploited and we were a part of it. I was told all of our entrance fee would go to the Palong people so I can only hope it does, as they don't qualify for Thai health or welfare; it has to come out of their own pocket.
