Kula people (Asia)
The Kula people (Thai: กุลา; Khmer: កុឡា, Kŏla [kolaː]; also spelt Gula and Kola) are the descendants of migrants from Burma who settled in the Pailin-Chanthaburi region along the Cambodia–Thailand border during the 19th century. To which Burmese ethnic group the Kulas belong remains uncertain, with some speculating a Bamar, Shan or multi-ethnic heritage.
Pailin Peacock Dance is a traditional Kula dance from Pailin province in Cambodia. | |
