Location The Salawin River creates the border between Thailand and Myanmar.

The total distance the river covers from Tibet to Myanmar is 3,151 kilometers. The length passing through Thailand is 120 kilometers.

Highlights

Traveling Down the River: Traveling down the river is perhaps the best way to see the area. During its 120 kilometers path, the river goes through Amphoe Mae La Noi, in the Salawin Wildlife Sanctuary and through the Salawin National Park. From here, a boat trip down the Moei River to the Tha Tafang Ranger Unit takes about one hour.
This Unit has the best accommodations for tourists in the area. However, you need to keep in mind that the Moei River is the border between Thailand and Myanmar, so at night, it is best to stay on the Thai side.

How to Get There
From the town of Mae Sariang, take Highway 1194 to Ban Mae Sam Laeb for fifty kilometers. The pier for the Salawin River is in Ban Sob Moei. Ban Sob Moei is also the location of the National Park Office.
