Kayan Refugee Long-neck Women need your help

I read this and am so sad. I've always seen these women who wear the rings around their necks in my history and culture books, but never realized that this once ancient tradition has been stripped of its tradion and turned into a commercial enterprise at the expense of these women. Please read...this isn't a charity that needs money, it needs awareness. It needs people who go to Thailand to boycott this "tourist attraction" .....Thank you.

If you feel really ambitious, there is information at the bottom if you would like to speak your mind to the Thai government.
