lan mrui., pronounced [tʰàɰ̃təlàɰ̃ mjo̰]; also Thlantlang or Htantlang in Burmese transliteration) is a town and the administrative center of Thantlang Township in Chin State,[1] western Myanmar (formerly Burma).

[3] On 29 October, the Burmese military destroyed an additional 160 homes in the town, with collateral damage totaling USD $10-15 million.

The Kaladan River flows between Hakha and Thantlang before it swerves north through into India's Mizoram State and re-emerges in Paletwa, where it merges into the Bay of Bengal.

Paddy fields dot Lahva's banks, regularly plowed by local farmers in June and harvested by the end of October.

The township is constructed of over eighty neighbouring villages, surrounded by nine small regions: Khualhring, Vanzang, Zahnak, Bual, Vailam, Zophei, Bawipa Tlang, Lautu, and Mara.

Local farmers, depending largely upon the two small rivers, grow vegetables such as cabbage, mustard, garlic, and onion, generally producing only enough for their own families but not the entire town's population.

[8][citation needed] The regime erected a pagoda on the north hilltop over Thantlang, where a local Burmese monk stayed.

By 2011, many people in Thantlang were planning to build a "Prayer House" on Vuichip Mountain so that all Christians could pray and observe fasting there freely.
