PART I: BAGAN TRIP

Where to? Bagan the Ancient City in Central Myanmar

When is it? 30th Mar to 2nd Apr 2016 (Backdated entry)

I'd flied direct from Kuala Lumpur to Yangon via Malaysian Airlines (MAS). But before you fly-in to any part of Myanmar you need to apply visa so you are allowed to enter. Today it much easier as you can apply e-visa online through this link www.evisa.moip.gov.mm. Just make sure your passport is valid and get your passport photo ready and you are set to go.

Fly alone wasn't too bad, sit and enjoy the flight

Welcome to Myanmar

We stayed overnight in Yangon, before catch flight to Bagan the next Morning. So what local had for dinner? We went to this BBQ place

Porky

Draught Myanmar Beer

Myanmar time different 1.30hrs from Malaysian time, so I'm started to feel a little bit sleepy, use to sleep early. LoL (Lame) Excuses we have a flight to catch-up tomorrow morning.

Next morning, went to domestic airport which is only next to International Airport. Fly to Bagan via Air KBZ (arranged by Excellent Trip including our stay in Bagan)

our first day in Bagan is a bit free and easy, in the evening we take breeze walk and enjoy the local beer. Near to the hotel you can see all the pagodas too, but you hardly knows the history of the pagodas if you did not hired a tour guide. Most of the small pagodas are built by a family or individual.

Had our dinner in this restaurant

Second day, we start to explorer Bagan the ancient city. There is thousand pagodas in Bagan, which hardly for you to explorer one by one in one day. Our tour guide mentioned the Old Bagan use to be their playground, how cool is that? now most of the villagers they move to the new township of called New Bagan.

As usual, every pagodas is sacred place. So you have to respect the "don't" they have implement in every pagodas. Please wear a proper attire, that means no short. Whenever you enter pagodas do not wear your shoes or flip flop/slippers in. It will much easier if you only wear your flip flop, easy to take off. Show some respect will ya. The tour guide of course will bring you to the hot spot of pagodas.
