Trekking along the Salawin River

Covering a forested area of 721 square kilometers, the Salawin national park is on the bank of the Salawin River on the Thai-Myanma border, about 164 km south of Mae Hong Son and 55 km west of Mae Sariang.
The river originates from Tibet before winding through China,
Thailand and Myanmar for a total distance of more than 3,000 kilometres.

It is regarded as the borderline between Myanmar and Thailand for a distance of 120 kilometres. Othr side of the river is the territory of Myanmar.

At the present many refugees cross the river into Thai territory and Myanmar militar troops fire into the refugee camps.
So never walk in the park without an experienceful local ranger guide.

The photo was taken nearby the Karen village Ban Huai Mu Phittaya west of Mae Sariang.
