The Nyah Kur (ญัฮกุร; known in Thai as ชาวบน, Chao Bon or ชาวดง, Chao Dong) are an ethnic group native to Thailand in Southeast Asia. Closely related to the Mon people, the Nyah Kur are the descendants of the Mon of Dvaravati who did not flee westward or assimilate when their empire fell under the influence of the Khmer when Suryavarman I gained the throne in the early 11th century.
