Thanlyin, once known as Syriam, was a busy trading town from around the 15th century, and Portuguese, French and British influences all left their mark. Today it is a sleepy place of tree-lined roads and university campuses, a short drive from Yangon.
Your private guide starts with Kyaik Khauk Pagoda, a hilltop stupa with wide views over the land along the Bago River. Next comes Kyauktan, where a local boat takes you to Ye Le Paya on a small island in Hmaw Wun Creek. From the bank it looks as if it floats on the water, and you can feed the giant catfish that swim around it.
In the early afternoon, stop at the riverside market and two more pagodas, where life moves at the pace of the river, before driving back to Yangon by mid-afternoon.
Lunch is not included, so plan to eat at a local restaurant along the way. Book this private tour to see a quieter side of Greater Yangon.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
