To fully appreciate a trip to Bago 8, the visitor should first understand the history of the Talaing (Mon) people. Like the Pyu — predecessors of the Bamar — they originally came from the north. The Talaing, who arrived before the Pyu, ventured down the Thanlwin River rather than the Ayeyarwady. Theirs was the “Golden Land of Suvannabhumi”, which stretched from what is today Malaysia to. the Bay of Bengal. The Talaing built their capital, Thaton, on the east side of the Sittoung (Sittang) River.
