The Karen peoples comprise many ethnic groups, originally from China. They do not identify with each other. The Karen live  mostly in southern and southeastern Burma (Myanmar). There are about 7 million of them.

The Karen first migrated from Burma to Thailand in the 18th century. Many live on the Thailand–Burmese border. They are the largest tribal group in Thailand.

They do not wear the heavy types of jewelry used by other hilltribe groups. They like to cover their arms with bracelets. Some are flat and narrow and others are round and smooth, twisted or coiled. The women wear silver earrings.

Ethnic design.
