Tenasserim Hills
Tenasserim Hills or Tenasserim Range ((ビルマ語:တနင်္သာရီ တောင်တန်း) (:tənɪ̀ɴθàjì tàʊɴdáɴ); (タイ語:ทิวเขาตะนาวศรี) ''Thiu-khao Tanaosi'' (:tʰiw kʰǎw ta.naːw sǐː); (マレー語:Banjaran Tenasserim)) is the geographical name of a roughly 1,700 km long mountain chain, part of the Indo-Malayan mountain system〔Encyclopædia Britannica, 1988, volume 10, page 694〕 in Southeast Asia.
Despite their relatively scant altitude these mountains form an effective barrier between Thailand and Burma in their northern and central region.〔(International Boundary Study No. 63 - Burma-Thailand Boundary )〕 There are only two main transnational roads and cross-border points between Chumphon and Tak, at the Three Pagodas Pass and at Mae Sot. The latter is located beyond the northern end of the range, where the Tenasserim Hills meet the Dawna Range. Minor cross-border points are Dan Sing Khon,〔(Singkhon Checkpoint to Open this Year )〕 near Prachuap Khiri Khan, and Phu Nam Ron west of Kanchanaburi. The latter is expected to gain in importance if the planned Dawei deepwater port project goes ahead, along with a highway and a railway line between Bangkok and that harbor.〔(Table A1-1-1a. Prospective projects in Mekong sub-region )〕
The southern section of this extensive chain of mountains runs along the Kra Isthmus into the Malay peninsula almost reaching Singapore. Many rivers have their source in these mountains, but none of them are very long.
==Etymology==
This mountain chain is named after the Tenasserim Region ''(Tanintharyi)'' in Burma and its name in Thai is ''Thio Khao Tanaosi'', also spelt as ''Tanawsri'', ''Tanao Sri'', ''Tanaw Sri'' or in Malay as ''Tanah Seri''.
