About the town

History : :Kawthaung, is the legal name accepted by current govenrment ruling. Once the time british rule, it is known as Victoria Point. Thais calls it Kaw Saung meaning two islands-town. The word, Kawthaung, perhaps, most probably come from that. The Pashu(as called by Burmese, believed to be the same ethnic race as current Malay) also called the town as Pusi Lowa, same meaning as Kaw Saung.

The current Kawthaug Town place is said that first permanently lived by Pashu. During the first british rule, Kawthaung is just a small fishing village, and the govenment office for the region is at Maliwan, about 24 miles north. Maliwan residents, mostly Chinese, Thais, at that time is good earning with tin mines. But Maliwan is not good in place for deep sea port and finally the british government decided to move his offices to Kawthaung, after that the town grows quickly.

 

Sample Bullet Points

  • The town is a mountaineous, hot, wet (and also dusty) surrounded by sea on both east and west side. Now it is flourished by border trade, fishing (& timbering in the past).
