Myanmar remains a land cloaked in mystery, where the path less travelled yields memories that linger for a lifetime. From the endless temple plains of Bagan, to the floating gardens and graceful fishermen of Inle Lake, to the pristine stretches of powdery sand along Ngapali, the country is a visual and cultural feast. Vast and diverse, roughly the size of France and England combined, Myanmar is home to more than 130 ethnic groups, each contributing to its extraordinary cultural mosaic. Stretching from snow-capped Himalayan peaks in the north to coral-fringed islands of the Andaman Sea in the south, Myanmar’s landscapes offer dramatic contrasts: fertile valleys, forested hills, serene rivers, and unspoilt coastlines. Ancient pagodas, royal palaces, and traditional villages pepper the terrain, offering a sense of timelessness and discovery. Whether seeking secluded beaches, cultural immersion, jungle adventures, or contemplative retreats among sacred temples, Myanmar presents an unrivalled opportunity to experience Southeast Asia in its purest and most authentic form—a country both enchanting and remarkably untouched.
Situated in the southernmost corner of Myanmar, the small port town of Kawthaung lies shares a border crossing with Ranong Thailand, separated by a broad estuary in the Pagyan River. Visitors can look forward to a variety of different activities. Visit the magnificent Maliwan Waterfall, and explore the Mergui National Reserve. Make sure to see Pyi Daw Aye, Kawthaung’s most popular pagoda, featuring a golden chedi and offering panoramic views overlooking the Kraburi River, the town, and the Thai mountains in the distance.
