Kayin State
The Gyaing is a wide river, but quite shallow with numerous sandbars. It is navigable by smaller boats all year long. Important towns and villages along its banks include Gadoe (Kado), Zathabyin (Zathabyeng), Kalagong, Kawbein, Peinnegon, Tarana and Damathat (Dhammatha). The up-stream Gyaing forms part of the border between Hpa-an District and Kawkareik District of Kayin State, and downstream is the border between Kayin State and Mon State.
