  12. In MHS, there are white, black and red Karens. They are citizens of Thailand as their ancestors migrated to Northern Thailand long time ago. The long-neck Karens are refugees from Burma and not allowed to work in Thailand. They are from the Padaung tribe but prefer to be referred as Kayan now.
