Singkhon

Singkhon is a pass through the Tenasserim Hills, crossing the narrow peninsula between the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Siam. Its valley provided a route between the Tenasserim coast and the Siamese towns around Prachuap. Armies as well as merchants used the crossing. In the Burmese invasion of Siam in 1759–1760, Siamese forces tried to hold the pass but were defeated, allowing Burmese troops to descend towards the eastern coast and continue their campaign.
