Cox's Bazar is on the south-easterly tip of Bangladesh, not far from the border with Myanmar the weird extra 'bit' at the bottom of Bangladesh, almost as an afterthought. The region was frequented by the Mogh pirates, along with the Portuguese, who ravaged the Bay of Bengal in the 17th century . The name 'Cox's Bazar' comes from Captain Hiram Cox, a Brit, who founded the town as a refuge for the Arakanese , who were fleeing their homes after the invasion of the Burmese.
