Published caption : Tourists can experience the way of life, art and culture of the Karen by visiting an old-style house in Moo 2 village and watching cultural performances at a Karen village in Moo 3. One of these houses belongs to Sakda Panyaharn, the son of the tambon’s first village headman and spiritual leader Kha. The house on stilts has wooden floors, bamboo walls and a thatched roof, constructed without the use of nails. The highest level of the house is a forbidden zone for women, except little girls. The Karen believe that the village’s spiritual leader will fall sick and die if women enter that level. The empty space under the house boasts an old-style weaving tool, which is attached to the weaver’s waist. This tool is called kee eaw or tha in the Karen language. There are only five such tools left in this village. Karen people worship the Rice Goddess for providing food and protecting them.
