About Thanlyin

Thanlyin and Kyauktan (Syriam) was once an important city on the Irrawaddy Delta, but is today an almost forgotten suburb of Yangon. In the early seventeenth century the Portuguese adventurer and mercenary, and short-time self-proclaimed king, Filipe de Brito, was the de facto ruler of Syriam. In 1613, he was defeated by Burmese forces led by Alaungpaya, the founder of The Konbaung dynasty .
