Hill Tribe Village was the first tribe experience in our lives. Honestly I never heard or read about Thailand’s long neck women until I found myself there after we booked an excursion from our hotel. A group of locals greeted us with their young children. The local tour leader explained to us about the tradition for their elongated necks. I couldn’t believe my ears and eyes until I saw them wearing heavy brass rings around their necks while most of them were weaving living in a very simple lifestyle. We took pictures with them and gave money to most of them . This was really a unique experience.

Yes it's another place where you can buy cheap things in Thailand, but it made me feel like these people are being put on display for the benefit of tourists. And yes, it probably helps the villagers to sell things. But I found the villagers to use aggressive tactics to get you to buy something. For me the experience was neither worthwhile nor beneficial. My recommendation...skip it.

Rout of a place. Fake village full of shops. Try to sell you hand made goods sold at mass production at local markets.
Shows done with little effort wearing smart watches and Adidas slip ons.
Not worth the 300 Bart per person.
Donations expected after every performance.
Took us 30 minutes to walk through.
