Description: |
|
The Moei River also known as the Thaungyin River is a tributary
of the Salween River. Unlike most rivers in Thailand, the Moei
River flows north in a northwest direction. It originates in
Phop Phra District, Tak Province, flowing then from south to
north across Mae Sot, Mae Ramat, and Tha Song Yang Districts,
finally entering the Salween River within the limits of Sop Moei
District of Mae Hong Son Province. The river is 327 kilometres
long.
The Moei River forms a portion of the border between
Thailand and Myanmar.
This river is the scene of clashes
between the Tatmadaw and Karen militias. Often Karen people
cross the river either in order to enter Thailand as refugees or
to go back to Burma in the opposite way. |
