thumb|left|Artist rendition of Sandoway in the late 1800s Thandwe ("Thandway" in Arakanese; ; formerly Sandoway), with classical name being alled Dvaravatī, is a town and major seaport in Rakhine State, the westernmost part of Myanmar.
==Recent history== During the ongoing Myanmar civil war, the town was the site of clashes between the Arakan Army and Myanmar's military, with the Arakan Army taking control of Ngapali Beach and several military outposts surrounding the town. According to reports, the Arakan Army seized the town's prison on 15 July 2024, with the town's remaining military battalions falling the next day and giving the Arakan Army full control of the town.
