A Trip To Pyay, Akauk Taung

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY3 years ago (edited)

I remember a trip that my parents and I took two years ago

It is a trip to Akauk Taung, Pyay in Myanmar

It has been over two years since me and my parents do not travel anymore

It is because of Covid 19 Pandemic and now the political situation here

It is not safe anymore from all aspects

It was a day trip. But we spent one night before and after the day trip on bus

We had to take our bus at 10 PM

And we arrived at Shwe San Daw Pagoda, Pyay at about 5 AM

We took photos there. Here they are

The last two photos are me and my mother

I remember that we ate at Daw Ou Rice Salad Shop in Pyay

Fellow Asean Hivers may not like it as it is a Myanmar cuisine

I regret that I had not taken that cuisine pics

Then we were taken to Akauk Taung

Which is series of Buddha Images engraved in the Irrawaddy cliff

We had to take a boat there. Here are these pics

This is a scene from our boat

Where you can go up the river cliff supported by bamboo stair cases

I am quite sad that we cannot go on a trip like that this year

Because of Covid 19 and the unstability in Myanmar

I have not been to any Asean coutries or any other foreign countries

As I cannot afford over thousands of USD for just a vacation

Local travel is fine for me as their costs are much cheaper

Thanks for reading my post, Asean Hivers

I loved this post, it's incredible your memory is good enough to recall a trip from 2 years ago. I struggle to post about photos I took last week 😁 because my memory is not fresh.

You really should do a introduction post first, we can't become your fellow ASEAN Hivers if we know nothing about you. An introduction post, especially one with you holdin your username on a piece of paper serves as proof of brain for curators.

Thanks for your suggestion

I remember that much because they are fond memories and we only take vacation once a year.

Covid will go soon. Be strong & wait for few more months 💪💪

I also read about the military taking over the government in Myanmar. It is sad to read... 😢😢
