Explore Mawlamyaing, the capital of Mon State and a historic port city on the Thanlwin River.
Mawlamyaing, formerly known as Moulmein, is the capital of Mon State, Myanmar. It served as the administrative capital of British Lower Burma and became a thriving teak port from 1826 to 1862. Its strategic position made it the first British seaport in Southeast Asia.
Originally a Mon city, Mawlamyaing has a long history shaped by conflict, trade and cultural exchange. Its best-known landmark is Kyaikthanlan Pagoda, traditionally dated to 875 AD, alongside colonial-era architecture and scenic viewpoints.
