fACES oF aSIA #35 _ Sangkhlaburi, Thailand

            The Mon are an ethnic group from Burma (Myanmar) living mostly in Mon State, Bago Region, the Irrawaddy Deltaand along the southern border of Thailand and Burma. The Mon were believed to be one of the earliest peoples of Indochina. They founded some of the earliest civilizations there, including Dvaravati in Central Thailand (whose culture proliferated into Isan), They were the first receivers of Theravada missionaries from Sri Lanka & were responsible for the spread of Theravada Buddhism in Indochina. Today, many Mon have fled the oppressive regime in Burma and live as refugees around Sangkhlaburi.
