Who are the Mon people in Thailand and Myanmar ( Burma) why some of them look slightly caucasian?

• My mother is thai with Mon ancestry. I curious why some Mon people I have seen in Burma and Thailand, a Mon relatives of my look different than normal south east asian. all of us are tall and completely have same eyes shape like caucasian people and we also don't have dark complexion like south asian. there were many times people mistaken me for arab or half european however non of my family members have caucasian blood. I notice the same way with the thai-mon celebrity in thailand. she looks slightly caucasian too. I thought it was accidentally that some of us look like that untill I been to burma and meet the 100 percent Mon people like this girl below. some example of Mon in Burma that look caucasian. she is not mix. http://www.flickr.com/photos/39110413@N07/5186902408/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/39110413@N07/5186902406/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/39110413@N07/5186902402/in/photostream/ However in a case of my grandmother and my mother. I think they look caucasian than a girl in the links because they have narrower face and tall. my grandmother also have very large eyes.

• Answer:

  There have been three Burmese Wars or Anglo-Burmese Wars: First Anglo-Burmese War (1823 to 1826) Second Anglo-Burmese War (1852 to 1853) Third Anglo-Burmese War (1885 to 1886) Burma was conquered by the British in a series of wars. After the Second Anglo-Burmese War, the Mon territories were completely under the control of the British. The Mon aided the British to free themselves from the rule of the Burman monarchy. I'm pretty sure some cross pollination took place.
