Long necked woman, northern Thailand

This lady was at a refugee camp in northern Thailand. Her tribe was originally from Myanmar (Burma), but they had escaped to Thailand to avoid persecution.

It's not really that the neck is long, but actually that the shoulder blades are depressed gradually from childhood, by adding more and more copper rings.
