Thiba Point
थिबा पॉईंट
A cliff-top viewing platform beside Thibaw Palace, overlooking the Kajvi River mouth, Bhatye Beach and Ratnagiri Bay.
Thiba Point is said to be where King Thibaw gazed out to sea, longing for his homeland. It sits on the cliffs west of the palace, with views over Bhatye Beach, the Kajvi River mouth, the bridge across it and, in the distance, Ratnadurg Fort. Locals gather here in large numbers at sunset. The viewpoint has railings and a small kiosk, is free to enter, and is about a five-minute walk from the palace.
