Enjoy plenty of spectacular sights around.


Here are attractive fishing villages at the estuaries and some great Archipelagos a couple of kilometers offshore with beautiful beaches.

  1. People here have a hard life, instead that the Myanmar authorities would open the border and let the tourists is to bring wealth to the Burmese people they still do everything to keep them out (2015) since it still takes a visa from the embassy and only at Yangon Airport a complecated prepaid evisa is available which is very expensive.
