Living in Tailors' Row (Achoke Tan), west of the southern gate (Mingala Gate), present-day Cittaramahi[clarification needed] quarters, Saya Pe became known as Achoke Tan Saya Pe.
[4] Pe served as a bearer of Prince of Mekkhaya's insignia (အဆောင်ကိုင်) during the reign of King Mindon.
After the abdication of King Thibaw, Saya Pe went to the Shan States, and served under the Saopha of Thonze.
