In the districts of Aceh Jaya and in particular Jaya Subdistrict, and Indra Jaya Sub-district in Baru Subdistrict, there are several villages inhabited by Portuguese descendants who, from the 14th to the 16th century, were stranded in the royal Empire.
In the past, the people of the Daya Empire rescued the Portuguese and married off to the local people. At that time, Portuguese warships were stranded in the waters of Lamno. "The villages that are the basis of Portuguese descent, Ujong Muloh, Kuala Daya, Gle Jong, Teumareum and Lambeso, are almost all women and men characteristic of white, blonde hair and a pointy nose.

Despite their Caucasian face, their culture is thick in Aceh and Islam.
The central document parent of Aceh, Marco Polo in a world-wide cruise adventure year 1292-1295 once stopped off in the Daya kingdom and wrote a book on the greatness of the Daya kingdom mingling with Portuguese soldiers in lamno.
Unfortunately, when the tsunami struck several years ago, many of these descendants were lost and died. Not even more than 40 percent of the residents of this Portuguese descent who survived. Eventually they chose to leave their hometown and chose to go to other areas with the small community they formed.
