Program Detail :
Breakfast at hotel, then drive to Thanlyin, (45 mins), formerly called Syriam, was an important trading centre in the 17th century under the Portuguese adventurer De Brito. It is an interesting excursion across the river to Thanlyin. A bus ride out of town will take you to the large, golden Kyaikkhauk Pagoda rising on a hillock to the right of the road. Another visiting site is Ye Le Paya which means “the pagoda at the centre of the river” at Kyauktan. It is appropriately named since the complex is perched on a tiny island in the middle of the river. Then, drive back to Yangon. End of services.
