The Moei River (Thai: แม่น้ำเมย, RTGS: Maenam Moei, IPA: [mɛ̂ːnáːm mɤːj], Burmese: သောင်ရင်းမြစ်; S'gaw Karen: သူမွဲကျိ) is a tributary of the Salween River. Unlike most rivers in Thailand, the Moei River flows north in a northwest direction. It originates in Phop Phra District, Tak Province, flowing then from south to north across Mae Sot, Mae Ramat, and Tha Song Yang Districts, finally entering the Salween River within the limits of Sop Moei District of Mae Hong Son Province. The river is 327 kilometres (203 mi) long.

International border
The Moei River forms a portion of the border between Thailand and Myanmar.
The river is the scene of clashes between the Tatmadaw and Karen militias.[2] Often Karen people cross the river either in order to enter Thailand as refugees or to go back to Burma.[3]

Der Mae Nam Moei (Thai: .mw-parser-output .Thai{font-size:115%}แม่น้ำเมย; „Moei-Fluss“) ist ein Nebenfluss des Saluen. Er bildet die Grenze zwischen der thailändischen Provinz Tak und dem Kayin-Staat in Myanmar (Birma). Der Moei entspringt in der Provinz Tak im Distrikt (Amphoe) Phop Phra. In seinem Oberlauf heißt er Wa Le und fließt zunächst von Nordosten nach Südwesten. Nach einer Schleife fließt weiter in nord-nordwestlicher Richtung. Sein mäandernder Verlauf zeichnet sich auch im ebenso geformten Verlauf der birmanisch-thailändischen Grenze ab. Im Distrikt Sop Moei der thailändischen Provinz Mae Hong Son mündet er in den Saluen.- [en] Moei River
