Pathein

Pathein is such a nice town. Almost no traffic, situated at a river, with a relaxing atmosphere. A fine town to stroll around and have a drink or some food along the river, while watching the lively scene. Of course also the usual Buddhist pagodas. Pathein represents the kind Burmese atmosphere well. In this relatively non tourist area, a local bus trip can be an adventure. It took six hours from Pathein to Ngwe Saung by bus, 30 min. by taxi. You see the bus pictures at the end of the slideshow.
