Htikhi (Burmese: ထီးခီး; also spelt Htee Khee) is a town in Dawei Township, Tanintharyi Region, Myanmar.[1] The town is home to Phu Nam Ron, one of 7 official border trade posts with Thailand.[2] In 2022, total trade volume at the border post stood at US$2.563 billion (equivalent to $Error when using {{Inflation}}: NaN, check parameters for non-numeric data: |value=2.563 billion (parameter 2) and |r=Expression error: Unexpected < operator. in 2023), making it the busiest border post with Thailand.[3] As of September 2019, the road from Myitta, the closest Burmese town, which is 101 kilometres (63 mi) away, remained unpaved.[4] A roads project was initiated in 2019, to link Htikhi to the Dawei Special Economic Zone.[5] Htee Khee was formerly the headquarters of the Karen National Union's 4th brigade until 2012.[4]
