Tanintharyi Region, Administrative region in southern Myanmar.
The Tanintharyi Region extends along the narrow southern part of Myanmar, featuring a coastline along the Andaman Sea and borders with Thailand.
The territory changed control between Burma and Siam until 1826, when the British gained jurisdiction over the area south of Salween River.
The region includes various ethnic groups such as Dawei, Karen, Mon, and Bamar people, with Buddhism representing the main religion at 87.5 percent.
The regional capital Dawei connects to other major cities like Myeik and Kawthaung through a network of roads spanning 43,344 square kilometers.
The region contains multiple metal mines and palm oil plantations, while its position on the Malay Peninsula creates a natural border with Thailand.
