The Asho people (Burmese: အရှိုချင်း) are one of the tribes of the Chin peoples. Also known as the Plains Chin (မြေပြန့်ချင်း), the Asho Chin live in the lowland plains of southwestern Myanmar spanning the lower Irrawaddy River basin and the southern parts of the Arakan Mountains, unlike other Chin peoples, who occupy the country's highlands. The total population of the Asho people are around 400,000.
