The hot spring water fall was exist since last 50 years ago, said the local villager. It was too hot on the surface around that 100 m radius area. We could not simplify fine the source of hot spring water fall started. It was the degree of 90 C at the surface hot spring water. The access road was 5 miles from the main road and already establish the ground access road to middle of the buddhist temple then we walked up to the hill about 15 minutes.

We hunt for the hot spring site in Tanintharyi last a year ago on 2015. We found out the potential hot spring water fall at Tanintharyi division but it was within the compound of the buddhist monk.
The local visitor believed that the hot spring water fall was watch and care by the dragon spirit. We have very hard to get over there and it was left the remarkable memory with terrible hot around the surface up in there.

I would like to share the green energy submit 2017 in Myanmar.
It is the hosting of the 5th edition of Myanmar Green Energy Summit in Yangon.
Myanmar, under the Framework for Economic and Social Reforms, placed immediate priority on universal electrification in order to re-enter to the global markets. Evolving into a competitive export-oriented economy with modernising and scaling up electricity capacity requires greater foreign investment and infrastructure modernisation.

The preliminary stage of the 220MW Minbu solar project, located in Magway Region, is now complete as the 700 acre site has reportedly been cleared in preparation for American contractors Black & Veatch to begin the construction phase shortly.
According to a 7 January article in Democracy Today, 120 part-time workers joined 17 full-time employees to clear the site.
U Khin Zaw, a project manager associated with Black & Veatch, told the newspaper that “we started clearing the land in July and this stage is now complete’’.
Black & Veatch has been contracted by Thailand’s Green Earth Power for the build, which has been described as south-east Asia’s largest solar plant.
According to previous reports, the Thai company plans to invest $275m in the project and has agreed to sell electricity to the government over a 30-year contract period.
A memorandum of understanding (MoU) to develop the plant was first signed with the Ministry of Electric Power (MoEP) in May 2013 and the contract was finally formalised in October 2014.
A first phase with 50MW capacity is due to come online in 2017, with the overall project to be built in four stages over a total of 30 months.

Thai firm Green Earth Power is preparing to submit its application for its 220MW solar power plant in Magwe Region’s Minbu township to the Myanmar Investment Commission, according to a 2 July article in Democracy Today.
The last step before the application can take place is approval from the Environmental Conservation Department for the project’s Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (E/SIA), the article said, citing an unnamed official with the Ministry of Electricity and Energy (MoEE).
“We need E/SIA to prepare for MIC approval. As soon as we receive this, we will proceed,” the official said.
The Green Earth Company and MoEE agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding 2013, and signed a Memorandum of Agreement in 2014. The next step in the process is MIC approval.
