What our travelers think about their stay
Bago is a sanctuary town situated an hour away from Yangon. A sanctuary due to its temples and its Buddhas ( lying down, standing up...) and highly religious as the presence of its monastery shows. Very typical and which will please history enthusiasts.
My suggestion
Do not hesitate to go into the monastery True, to us it can seem "out of place" to go inside, we do not dare, especially in the middle of a lesson, but tourists are welcome and it is a lovely spectacle that stays in mind!
Bago is a former capital and lies just two hours from Yangon, offering the chance to discover and explore a small city with a rich historical past.
My suggestion
The easiest way to visit Bago's various sites is by hiring the services of a tuk-tuk, which will take you to all the main sites. Make sure you properly negotiate the price.

Burma, is it a beach holiday destination?
When you talk about Burma (nowadays also called Myanmar), people immediately think about Buddhist monks, a multitude of pagodas with golden roofs, unequalled cultural riches or luxuriant forests.
