Chittagong hill track is one the most reknown which is situated southestern part of Bangladesh bordering India and Myanmar (Burma). Covering 13,295 square kilometres (5,133 sq mi), they formed a single district until 1984, when they were divided into three districts: Khagrachari District, Rangamati Hill District, and Bandarban District . Topographically, the Hill Tracts are the only extensively hilly area in Bangladesh.Thanchi is upazila of Bandarban . Thanchi is vary much reknown for its bazar which is called ‘Thanchi bazar’ . It is situated 90km from Bandarban . There are some history behind thanchi name . Some people say that the name come from the bay called ‘thanchi bay’ which is situated near thanchi bazar . From the historian they said thanchi name come from a local language marna word ‘than chai’ which means place for rest .  Also some people said that long time ago some people from main town chittagong or other site of the bandarban came here to take rest and do business with the tribal people in that place . Than stay there 2/3 days after that they take there hand made thing . From that time people think to build a bazar to do business with that local people . From that bazar growth the surrounding development is going on.

There are some difference  from other bazar . It can be said a city or it can be said a bazar . Because  here the people who area shop holder they live in their shop  . The uniqueness of that bazar is a city development based on that bazar . Here tourist come to see that uniqueness of that bazar and lifestyle of the tribal people .
