I have visited Huay Pu Keng in Mae Hong Son province twice. They are the first and only Kayan village that offers workshops. You can try your hand at weaving a hairband, making a brass bracelet and/or bamboo cup. You can also make a hike and learn about medicinal plants. Furthermore, you can plant trees together with the villagers. Next to the Kayan, there are 4 other tribes that are living in the village: Kayor, Tai Yai, Red Karen and Pakayor. They have so many interesting stories to tell! You can also do a homestay to stay a bit longer. Please ask for Aye Muang and Pay Yu, that organize tourism activities in the village. It's really valuable to learn and experience life in the village, go see for yourself! If you want to read more reviews: there is another page on Tripadvisor about Huay Pu Keng, called "Long neck village".

Beautiful village and people. I was so shocked when I saw people taking pictures of them without asking - it was really uncomfortable and almost creepy. I left the village feeling very sad. Unfortunately these people are being exploited for tourism. They are refugees in Thailand and this is the only way for them to make a living. Do your research before going and please be respectful! I can’t imagine trying to make myself lunch and a bunch of tourists come into my house and take pictures of me. Some people are happy to get their pictures taken, all you need to do is ask. This village is not a human zoo for your entertainment. Please respect their space and their culture. Have genuine curiosity and appreciation. If you want to support them, buy their handmade crafts.

A nice stop on the way to Pai Canyon. We received conflicting information as to whether it's the original bridge built by the Japanese in 1942 to get to Myanmar/Burma OR the Japanese destroyed the original bridge and the current bridge was transported from Chiang Mai. If anyone knows for sure I'm sure everyone would be interested. Worth a look and it's free.
