Hiding Places From Water Fight on Your Myanmar Luxury Holiday
Whenever you walk on streets during Thingyan, you can hardly avoid being thrown water onto. Even if you feel it seem to be safe to pass by a quiet street corner, you are still likely to get soaked to the bone due to countless kids waiting to ambush you. However, in Burma, there are still some public sites where you can be sheltered and having a relaxing Myanmar luxury holiday. Places which are generally exempt from water play includes pagodas and other religious grounds.Botahtaung Pagoda & Harbor
Botahtaung Pagoda & Harbor which are quite near each other are two among safe public places for you to get some relaxation and peace after hours of hard water fights. This is because people are not allowed to play with water near religious sites to show a courtesy to those who are doing religious deeds. Moreover, Botahtaung Pagoda & Harbor are quite far from centers of water fights and merry-makers usually find nothing fun do with such places. In the end, they are definitely good spots to avoid getting wet and chill during your Myanmar excursions.

It is advisable to reach these site from 8 to 10 o’clock in the morning or around 4 PM till late night. Imagine you can sit under a tree, talking with your friends and even have a puff of smoke, such one of the memorable things to do in Myanmar. It gradually gets colder and colder through the night but it is an ideal moment for you to sing some of your favorite songs. From here, lightings of the vintage luxury hotel can be clearly seen. Some stalls at the harbor might be available for tourists to visit.
Strand Road
