Bajo is a city located in Indonesia. While specific geographical coordinates or administrative details are not provided in the source material, it is identified as an Indonesian urban center.
The region is associated with the Sama-Bajau, a group of Austronesian ethnic groups found throughout Maritime Southeast Asia. These people typically lead a seaborne lifestyle and utilize a variety of traditional wooden sailing vessels, including the perahu, djenging (balutu), lepa, and vinta. They also employ medium-sized craft such as the jungkung and timbawan, alongside smaller fishing boats like the biduk and bogo-katik.
While many Sama-Bajau groups are known for their maritime traditions, some populations native to Sabah are specifically recognized for their traditional horse culture. The group is collectively referred to by the exonym Bajau or by their own names, such as Sama or Samah.
