(Draft) Karan Village

The people in this community are gifted artists. The women weave beautiful cloths. The community also grows and harvests nice herbal teas and coffee. It's a traditional community and one of the first in this area to open the tourists. They allow people to come in and see some of the Weavers and purchase their Wares. They also open one Street to the Coffee and Tea Store. People are not allowed to wander The Village otherwise. It seems like a fair way for them to support their Community financially without becoming an exhibit.

Note: this is not the "Karen Longneck Village" that so many people go to see in Thailand. That was on one of my tours but I refused to go in because it seems to me like treating people like they're in a zoo.Read more
