Three young Pa-O girls dressed in their traditional indigo tops and not so traditional, (but oh so common), flip-flops, stop their play to pose for the photo.
The Pa-O settled in Myanmar about 1000 B.C. Historically, the Pa-O wore colorful clothing, until King Anawratha defeated the Mon King Makuta, who had established his reign in Thaton. The Pa-O were enslaved, and forced to wear indigo-dyed clothing, to signify their status.
