Although there are a variety of restaurants in the local town, we ate in the hotel. The menu had enough variety for everyone: the food was very good and reasonably priced.  Lunch time snacks could be ordered from the pool bar, and we met up in the evening to enjoy fabulous sunsets and a one or two cocktails before dinner.

Despite the long journey, everyone enjoyed the time on the beach.  My only regret was that having travelled for so long another day or two would have been welcome.

Many thanks for writing this summary of our stay at Ngwe Saung. It certainly was great to have a couple of days relaxing after a very busy and enjoyable tour. Like you, I would have loved another day or two at the hotel before embarking on the long journey back to Yangon. I found the local village to be full of interest, especially the Kokonuss Gallery where they produced good quality wood carvings for sale, and would liked to have sampled the local restaurants had we been there for a little longer. Having said that, it was difficult to drag ourselves away from the beautiful hotel when the restaurant produced good food at a reasonable price and with good service.

On the advice of TM Stephen, I took a 30 minute stroll along the beach one afternoon to see the stupas perched atop two rocks on the beach; it was definitely worth the effort!

Cheers

Glad you had a relaxing time on the extension. Sounds like it was the perfect way to end a great holiday.

I'm glad you both enjoyed the extension - I was absolutely shattered when I got home so I think you made the right decision!

All the best,

Bob

I hope you're both recovered now. It was good to meet you and all the other Community contributors. Now I can put faces to names

Happy travels.

All the best,

Bob

It was good to meet you also and share such a lovely experience.

Kind Regards

Kerry

Lovely to meet you both. Glad you enjoyed the extension and had time to relax.

Hopefully our paths will cross again one day

Warm regards

Julie

It was great to meet you too. I've recovered from the long journey home and am trying to decide if I can take another holiday before Chile and Easter Island in November. It looks like May will have to be ruled out, so I'm looking for somewhere in August or early Sept.

Hopefully we'll meet again some time.

Cheers

The hotel was gorgeous, very well maintained. The food had a good range. Although the choice of food was wide, the service was very poor and the four of us had to wait some time for the next course.

We visited the local elephant park the day before we were due to drive back to Yangon.

Best Wishes, Graham
