Mon Nga, Thailand--85-year old Hoo Sateow lives in a small village in
Thailand. He has very long hair. In fact, it's the longest hair in the
world--more than 17 feet long! "I cut my hair when I was 18 years
old and I got sick. So I'll never do it again," Hoo says. According to
Hoo, his long hair allows him to talk to ghosts and help sick people.
Hoo has something in common with his older brother, Yi. Both have
very long hair. Yi's hair is more than 14 feet long.
Hoo washes his hair only once in a blue moon. His friends usually give
him a hand. The long hair takes ages to dry. Hoo hangs it on a fence
in the sun. His hair is hard to take care of, but Hoo says it comes in
handy in Thailand's cool mountain weather. "I wrap my hair around
my head and then put my hat on. It keeps me warm."
