They are probably the oldest inhabitants from southern Burma all the way down to the Tarutao Islands on the border between Thailand and Malaysia.. 

Burmese people came in by three great waves of immigration from the north. Of these the earliest is represented by the Mon or Talaing, who also stretched all the way down to present day Phuket Island in southern Thailand.

The second and third wave of People in today Burma were the Burmese and the Shan. The Karen stand in a category somewhat apart. The Kachin are of the same Burma people ethnic group as the Burmese, but their descent into Burma came later.  

Today the Mon people like many other are not absorbed completely into Burma they still have their Mon State around Bago (Pegu) and southwards. Until about 1990 there was still some kind of civil war between them and the central government.
