Thilawa (Burmese: သီလဝ, pronounced [θìləwa̰]) was governor of Bassein from 1390 to 1408 during the reign of King Razadarit of Hanthawaddy Pegu. Prior to the governorship, he was a minister at the royal court in Pegu (Bago). In 1390, he was appointed to be governor of Bassein by the king whose forces had just conquered the town during the First Ava–Hanthawaddy War.[1] Thilawa held the post until the start of the Third Ava–Hanthawaddy War c. April 1408[note 1] when Razadarit removed him from the office, and appointed Dein Mani-Yut instead.[2]
