Kawthaung Township (Thai: à ¹â¬Ã ¸Âà ¸²à ¸°à ¸ªà ¸Âà ¸â¡, Ko Song; meaning Second Island or Twice Island) is a township of Kawthaung District in the Taninthayi Division of Myanmar. The principal town is Kawthaung. Kawthoung (also Kawthaung; previously Victoria Point) is at the southern tip of Myanmar, on the border with Thailand. Charter boat from the docks at Ranong is a common way to enter Kawthoung and has been used by travellers in Thailand looking for to extend their visa-free stays in Thailand. Travel agents in Ranong can arrange this for around 400 baht per person including transport to the dock but not including visa fees, which should be paid in pristine, unmarked Thai baht or US dollars as even a slightly mark or tear will cause them to be rejected.
