Die Long Neck Kayan (auf burmesisch auch Padaung genannt) sind eine Untergruppe der Karen aus Burma. Frauen tragen spiralförmige Windungen um Hals und Unterschenkel. Sie werden auch als 'Giraffenfrauen' bezeichnet. Der Hals selbst ist nicht verlängert; das Aussehen eines gestreckten Halses entsteht unter dem Druck des Kragens, die Rippen senken sich und die Schultern und Schlüsselbeine fallen zusammen.
