Bilauktaung Range

The southern Bilauktaung ridges run through the narrow country of the Malay Peninsula. On their western slopes the Lenya River rises in the hills, flowing north before turning west towards the Andaman Sea. Forest covers the broken mountain terrain, and streams cut valleys between the ridges. Across the watershed to the east lies the coast of the Gulf of Siam, separated from the Tenasserim shore by a rugged but comparatively narrow stretch of land.
