  • وووع ، تسيف تسذا يزينون ، لا جيت ابلع ريقي ؟ :$

    احسهم دايمن يغصون + خطر على الحنجره و البلاعيم ..

  • yeah, that's good for your spinal cord...

  • why they do that ?

    long neck [ giraffe ]

  • In America, women believe they are enhancing their beauty by injecting chemicals into their skin to make their faces puffy or their breasts bigger, or by being dangerously skinny, or by wearing as little clothing as possible. Not much better, when you think about it.

  • why why why why why why

  • Three horns don't play with long necks!

  • @mantisantics her neck wasn't that long, of course it didn't break. =_=

  • :58 it is your cleavage that grows longer

  • i wonder how long it takes for food to move down the neck

  • dat brass

  • take those rings of and the neck breaks. =_= i know this is their tradition. but in most traditions poeple have to experience pain. i always ask myself "what's the use?" i really do accept that they do it as a tradition, but i can't see why they do it, because all they do is hurt themselves

  • @sonadowfangirl30869 actually, they can take it off without their neck breaking.

  • @n0s1r how? if they take those things off their neck won't be able to support their heads.

  • @sonadowfangirl30869 did you watch the video? did you see the part where she took the rings off? myth busted! have a nice day :)

  • they look like freakin giraffes :O

  • weird and sad

  • @sertox12345 I think the same thing when I see American girls covering their faces with make-up.

  • Carmen ti amoooooo!!!

  • @MrRisikobass Ti amooooooooo!!! <3

  • lmao at 2:35 "Today, Mahbang"

  • poor things...such painful traditions should be condemned....traditions are not meant to give you pain and torture...

  • @anamtaj Westerners get tatoos, every part of their bodies pierced, go through tons of plastic surgery, botox, and silicone injections, pluck their eyebrows, shave, get their bodies waxed, tan themselves until they burn, wear painful 4 inch heels. All painful traditions and yet you still do it. So be quiet you hypocrite.

  • @whateverman181 best example in the west is the Corset- its all beautiful do what you want

  • This is their way of being beautiful. Kinda of like here in the Western hemisphere women pierce thir ears, get facelifts, fake boobs, etc. I suggest that before anyone commenting negatively, they should understand that all in various place of the world Beauty is different and it is in the eye of the beholder.

  • looool they could give a deeptroath to someone with horse penis XD

  • do they want to look like giraffes???

  • Are they trying to be a Giraffe or sumthing? :|

  • @ShiellaMarie08 no they are trying to look like their gods.

  • This is pretty crazy... deforming yourself to make money off of stupid tourists,

  • @TheInformalstyle They don't do it for the tourists, they do it because it is the mark of their tribe and the pride of their culture. There is an importance to individual tribes and identifying with your people, but it's difficult to understand for an outsider.

  • ha pmsl they look like robots or giraffes

  • just awesome video! thanks for sharing! thats a cultural treasure!

  • i always heard if they took them off, there necks would break. I guess i heard wrong.

  • What the fuck, giraffe much?

  • ew ew ew ew ewwwwwwwwww

  • ppl with long neck really luk awesome!!!!!!

  • @BrianaCharlisa1 You know, they did say that at the beginning. 

  • i have a gorgeous long neck naturally...eat me!

  • If they take them shackles off their neck will collapse and they wont be able to breath, how horrible D:

  • @cadbrycreamegg if u watch the entire video shes fine when she takes off the rings

  • @mrjhon1997 Well Looks like i was told a lie then -.-

  • so the neckless doesn't even make them taller? what a waste1

  • LooL they will spend their whole lives can't looking at their stomach .. thats Funny XD

  • ow that hurts!!

  • that cant be healthy.....

  • i dont like things on my neck, so this would b VERY hard for me to do o.o

  • does they break their neck when they ;take those things off, i mean the neck became long and the bone might be weak

  • Dumb hoes

  • Maja is so beautiful i would have liked to see how she looked without that shit around her neck

  • I was scared that the neck would be like a thin string that could easily break after the coils were removed. Pa Damn

  • wang?..

  • sooo mutch ignorant peoples,,,,,

  • How do they sleep...?

  • the last time I wore heels was young. I don't think they are healthy. In fact they mess up the posture and the back. High heels should go the way of the corset.  UNHEALTHY.

  • Fascinating culture! O.o

  • dumbasses its not even beatiful its discusting

  • @guitardrumskate learn to spell first kid !!!

  • its beautiful but lookso painful.

  • @SpaceNinjaMonkey

    lmao! 

  • @SpaceNinjaMonkey  your vagina

  • Comment removed

  • @SpaceNinjaMonkey No thanks.....that would hurt....a lot.

  • why do women do these things to look good for guys? i say it's about time that the guys start making some effort.

  • @iMaMyst3ry why? we just dont give a shit

  • @iMaMyst3ry And we have! the problem is guys who take care of themselves, dress nicely, wear perfume, take care of their skin, etc to look attractive to women are either called gay, or considered players. It's difficult being accepted as a well groomed man. You can't look good without a little effort, and when men make that effort they're called gay. I'd love to do all these things for women! (and often I do, sort of)

    Women should show us they appreciate it, so we can make it broadly accepted ;)

  • I love seeing the traditions of other cultures. I mean, it'd be completely taboo to wear or practice something like this in the US, but to them it's just a rite of passage for women. Who are we to condemn the things that other people see as normal? Isn't that ethnocentric? I'm sure plenty of people look at the US with awe and sometimes even disgust at the things we do to our bodies. It's no different.

    I was with @Sushimaniac96 until you called the girl a stupid bitch. That was bogus.

  • She's so beautiful without the rings!

  • I keep waiting for her head to fall off.

  • this reminds me of the hmong necklas's because sometimes we have 5 rings to wear on are necks...

  • 1:44 = longest neck evar!

  • 1:44 = longest neck evar!

    I heard something about this! I remember that if you take off the shackles then you would get a hard time breathing and your neck would collapse or something...but I dont remember that clearly. :3

  • Wouldnt their necks get really weak?

  • Mabang is so pretty---but what a bruise the rings left on her neck!

  • OW :(

  • I thought if they remove the rings the neck will broke...

  • i would keep them off

  • haha XD she looks like a giraff LoL

  • They look like snakes, or dragons, when they`re only shown from the neck up. 

  • the chick at 0:59 could deep throat a pool noodle

  • geez, i cant believe how normal and regular they feel about it, of course its their culture....but just seeing it from outside, that looks painful and irrelevant. I wouldn't harm my body to be considered beautiful; whats beautiful about a person is their insides.

  • omgosh...won't their neck like break if they take the golden rods off and turn their head?!?

  • @gymleader96 Like the woman in the video said, It's not an actual elongation of the neck, it's a pushing down and dramatic sloping of the shoulders. Though the neck is weakened slightly, it still functions perfectly well without the rings to support the head.

  • @GoodSirGundam ,but they are like still hurting their bodies..look at the bruises on their shoulders..

  • @gymleader96 I'm not saying it's not detrimental to their bodies--the downward force on the shoulders collapses the ribcage and causes a lot of problems, I was just dispelling the misconception that the neck was actually elongated. I don't agree with this practice at all.

  • @GoodSirGundam ,lol.iicciic.

  • how do they eat!? don't they stuggle? D:

  • on the first seen while the lady is walking: seems like she doesn't have control on her head and it might fall down >.<

  • i think it's beautiful.

  • dont they do something like this in africa too??

  • @tjobtjobtjob some tribes do this and also wear lip plates

  • The giraffe people.

  • ahahah this woman are so tall ahahahah

  • Omg that's hella scary right there.....

  • Why do the males don't take painfull make overs?

  • Comment removed

  • ooh when she took it off i thought her neck would snap :O

  • ▬▬▬♂♂▬Crazy Women !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @4jolliano Its culture a wierd culture maybe but they r not crazy

  • Primitives...

  • so watts the dam purpose of all this pain? not much..

    They could die be doing this.

  • They also practice this in Africa. I never knew any other people practice this.

  • It's so disgusting.

  • @MyPaperBleedsInk so is abortion and look at that it's legal

  • @Lancun2

    Abortion isn't disgusting.

  • @MyPaperBleedsInk thats like saying killing is not disgusting!!!!!

  • @Lancun2

    Really? If you actually believe that, than you must be a vegetarian who also avoids killing everything from flies to ants, to bacteria on your hands, eh? You must have to be verrrry careful where you step, in case you kill a bug or something.

  • they look retarded

  • What the hekkk!!!!! What are they trying to do, look like human giraffes?

  • @getlive7 R American women trying to look like twigs?

  • @Lancun2 Im sorry I'm not an American  :)

  • @getlive7 R women trying to look like twigs globally?

  • @Lancun2 I honestly don't know what your point is. Are you stating that women all over the world should coil their necks and shackle their feet to look like the women in this video? Because that's impossible, a small percentage of these women who do it compared to the women all over  the world, I highly doubt this practice would become widespread around the world.. .. . ..

  • Wow imagine your neck gets really itchy and you cant scratch it.

  • I am really impresed of this ancient tribe in Thailand. I would love to learn more about it and acutally get to expirience it by going to Thailand. Wonderful NationalGeographic video. Nice video!

  • Wow, I would regard also gladly live? Interesting. I prefer nevertheless usual collier (to the attachment of chain chains…). Is it possible that the eddies together-move again without permanent damage to cause?

  • bit more serious than mens cockrings ???

  • its so freaking scary cant watch it only say first 25 seconds

  • So what...... people in the west split their tongues and pierce their nipples, too.... Come on, people! We're all the SAME!

  • @humizukirayuu stupid evry contry has a tradition im not saying there wierdos or anything but that stuff is frieking crazy

  • @electriceskimo10 To you it is.

  • she's so excited to see her neck, but she puts a damn scarf on!!

  • @nicarama101 She's protecting her neck.

  • That's funny because their necks do not even get longer. Also the design of the coils gives the illusion that the neck is even longer when it's hidden.

  • this makes me cringe

  • It would be awesome if all countries had these special traditions, for example all scandinavians would have viking helmets :D?

  • so weird tradition

  • @quiquerdz It's their culture.

  • @kikay234 - Probably like the rest of us. The coils are brass so they can get wet and won't rust. They can tarnish, but I bet they polish them some way to keep them looking nice. My question would be how they sleep.

    @kittycatcarley - I can't wear heals for long because they do have arch support. I do better in tennis shoes, flats, or flip flops. I also have an aunt who was told no more heals because of back problems and has to wear flats.

  • how can they have a bath?

  • women do disgusting, crazy things to be beautiful. sometimes, i despair at the stupidity my own sex.

  • @kittycatcarley

    But they do it for men! Even at this village men seem to like long-necked women.

  • @kittycatcarley They aren't trying to be beautiful, or at least that isn't their main intention. They are merely carrying on their tradition and that is something that you should not criticize them for, nor females in general.

  • @kittycatcarley I think in this case these women are beautiful. It's better than ritual sexual organ mutilization.

  • @kittycatcarley It's their culture.

  • @kittycatcarley

    Well its not so different from women wearing makeup, piercing their ears, wearing high heels, corsets etc. Its their tradition. I don't think its about being beautiful, I think its about keeping tradition and the past alive.

  • @ruekurei88 makeup, piercing, and high heels aren't permanently harming the body like this practice is. You can't really compare those minor things to stretching your neck to the point that if you took off the rings that stretched it, you couldn't support your head.

  • @MsFlattire Fair enough. But that girl was supporting her head just fine when she took it off. And as I said before, its a matter of keeping traditions and refusing to let go of old ways and things passed down is whats important.

  • @ruekurei88 That's true. I thought about it after I posted that and realized that she was indeed supporting her head just fine. Someone had told me of a woman that couldn't support her head and I just assumed that was typical. But maybe it isn't.

  • @kittycatcarley

    she seems happy enough.

    and don't be sexiest, guys do plenty of stupid stuff to fit in also.

    Do some research on tribes in Africa.

  • @kittycatcarley It is not the faults of the women, but what a male ordered society declairs as beautiful. If those standards are not met, a woman, who has no power outside the domesticated sphere, is tossed aside. Many male orientated cultures oppress women to the position of objects. Of course, men do many things to their bodies as well. The exceptions are that most of these male rituals are short, pain based rituals. Many rituals for women result in disabilitating effects to keep them home.

  • @kittycatcarley stupid bitch.

  • @Sushimaniac96 i've been called that before, but, ya know. you're the one hiding in your mothers basement posting rude things online.

    LOL...

  • @kittycatcarley Well, I have a reason for calling you a stupid bitch. This is their tradition, and who are you to criticize and judge who they are as human beings. The traditions we have in America are pretty stupid... Come on.... injecting gel into breasts to make them look bigger? That must seem absurd to outsiders.

  • @Sushimaniac96 Breast augmentations aren't a tradition.

  • @Sushimaniac96

    that is true. things like cannibalism in PNG etc are uncivilized but something like this is completely fine and a part of their culture.

  • @Sushimaniac96

    Lol, true, true.. In comparison, the whole-neck thing seems more beautiful.

  • @Sushimaniac96 You're absolutely right. Breast surgeries are completely ridiculous and it makes the breasts ugly and unattractive IMO.

  • @kittycatcarley It's all for who may I ask? Yes MEN.

  • I'm fine with them doing anything they want. But, how do they sleep like that? and also, that looks like it hurts...ALOT. Well, this just shows how weird body modifications are, not just from here but also America and other places.

  • there is always a price for "beauty"

  • This is fucking disgusting. Stop them form doing this shit or burn them all.

  • @CoreyBorealis Wow, that's ignorant as fuck. It's what they do, and what they believe in. I'm sure you wouldn't like it if someone came into your house and told you to stop doing what YOU liked to do and believed in.

    And FYI, every country has fucked up traditions. Americans practice scarification, genital and body piercing, and being hung on hooks. So, we've all got our strange traditions.

  • @CoreyBorealis God you're ignorant. If we had things your way, the world would go downhill fast, stupid dumbfuck.

  • I wonder what do they say about women who stuff their chest with those large sacs of gel called implants in order to make your breasts look bigger!

  • @ForeroFlower totally agree...a lot of stuff others do in the name of beauty might seem weird and outlandish to them...like women walking around in high heels that hurt like hell and can cause serious damage to ones feet and back....to us thats normal though

  • @reeseleebaby definitely!

  • @reeseleebaby hells are actually better for you than flats or flip flops becasue they have arch support :)

  • @kittycatcarley SMH do your research before you start commenting, just do a simple google search....notice i said SIMPLE since you clearly showed you are by making this way wrong comment :)

  • @reeseleebaby wow! I just gave you some friendly info and you just diss me? thanks. btw, science and personal experience back me up. heels are better for you than flats or flip flops, but tennis shoes/ boots are better overall for your feet. notice, i never said high heels are healthy, i said they are healthier than flats and flip flops. You don't have to diss someone for correcting you. God some people can't take a little correction. I highly doubt you've ever even worn heels.

  • @reeseleebaby CONT'D: You could have been nice and told me what you thought was wrong with my comment, but instead you decided to be a rude little bitch. have a nice life, i hope you learn to take correction, i won't be reading any reply you might make since your words are obviously worthless. ;D

  • anyone who puts those things on their CHILD, is a fucking uneducated asshole.

  • imagine them sucking dick?(; lmao

  • i bet this is painful....but that's their tradition.....every country has their own "demons" to deal with....so I don't mind at other's business.......

  • @89chiyoko1 hahahah your funny x3

  • they are crazy!

  • how do they sleep with those brass on their neck?

  • her neck actually looked kinda nice with it off,i thought it wuld looks badd a icky
