Namaklwe is a village near the Burma-Thai border in Mong Ton Township of Shan State in eastern Myanmar, across the border from Nong Uk, Thailand. It lies along National Highway 22 which connects it to Ponparkyin in the north, and Chiang Mai may be accessed to the south.[1][2] It has been a site of conflict when the Burma Frontier Force once gunned down Siamese invaders at Namaklwe.[3]
