from the Karen Hill Tribe in northern thailand. the rings are started at a very early age and added gradually. adult rings may weighup to 5kg or nearly 11 pounds. also found in the mountains of Laos and Myanmar(Burma). the neck isn’t really stretched. the weight of the rings causes the clavicles (shoulders) to move away from the head. in other words, it shortens the torso.
