Kayin State, Administrative region in southeastern Myanmar
The territory spans across 29,000 square kilometers of varied terrain, from limestone mountains to fertile plains, bordered by Thailand to the east.
The region became part of successive Burmese kingdoms from the 11th century and later fell under British control following the Anglo-Burmese Wars.
The Karen people maintain their distinct traditions through festivals featuring traditional musical instruments, ceremonial dances, and specific clothing styles.
Transportation within Kayin State relies on a network of buses connecting Hpa-An to other major towns, with limited railway services available.
The area contains numerous unexplored limestone caves, some housing Buddhist shrines and ancient wall paintings dating back several centuries.
