'''Maliwan''' ({{langx|my|မလိဝမ်း}}; {{langx|th|มะลิวัลย์}}; {{RTGS|''Maliwan''}}) is a village in [Kawthaung Township](/source/Kawthaung_Township) in southern [Myanmar](/source/Myanmar) near the border with [Thailand](/source/Thailand). It was settled by Chinese and Thai people. The area is known for its hot springs and waterfall. In 1872 the mayor of the third [Mergui](/source/Mergui) district, Sir Ashly Din (1870-1875), appointed the first police officer to Maliwan. A parliamentary paper to the British House of Commons in 1890 noted failed efforts to mine tin in the area, part of [Tenasserim Division](/source/Tenasserim_Division).<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=CKUTAAAAYAAJ&dq=Maliwan+burma&pg=PA131 Parliamentary Papers], House of Commons and Command, Volume 53 by Great Britain. Parliament. House of Commons H.M. Stationery Office, 1890</ref> In 1891, the center of local government was transferred from Maliwan to Victoria Point ([Kawthaung](/source/Kawthaung)) to allow easier access for larger ships.
