Kawthaung

Kawthaung. Much more at http://www.allmyanmar.com and http://www.travel-myanmar-all.com with great pictures and videosKawthaung, smuggling, casino and islands.
Kawthaung is opposite Ranong Thailand and a somehow interesting destination. Kawthaung city or the former Victoria Point is a real rotten place but it somehow let you breath the old colonial charm set up by the English and very seldom experienced this days. Kawthaung give you a idea of the life Joseph Conrad and Maurice Collis wrote about, you can find his book about this area during colonial times here.
A few islands around Kawthaung invites to play Robinson. Take a tent and have some time on the beach. You only can do this with a Myanmar tourist visa from the Myanmar embassy / consulate not with the entry visa you get at Kawthaung city. This visa only allows to stay at Kawthaung city. If you like to spend more time around use the ferry from the casino -their pier is a little bit outside Ranong-. There you have the limited possibility to move around on the islands.
