Thet Mon Kaw, nine, and her friends who all sport the ancient hairstyle known as Sanyitwine eat their lunch in a
monastery at Sat Sat Yo village in Nyaung Oo township, near Myanmar’s ancient city Bagan yesterday. Sat Sat Yo village became a famous popular tourist site due to its children sporting the country’s ancient hairstyle. Before colonial rule, all of the country’s boys and girls wore their hair in this manner. However Sat Sat Yo village is the only place left in Myanmar where children still have their hair tied in this traditional style.
