Lay Kay Kaw Myothit (Burmese: လေးကေ့ကော်မြို့သစ်; lit. 'Lay Kay Kaw New Town') is a town in Myawaddy Township, Kayin State in southeastern Myanmar. Nine miles in the south of Myawaddy, it is close to the border with Thailand.[1]
In recognition of the Burmese military's negotiations with Karen National Union,[2] the oldest ethnic armed organization in the country,[3] Lay Kay Kaw was built as a "town of peace"[4] in 2015.[5][6]
