Ngwe Saung - Life's a Beach

Ngwe Saung

We had read about the unspoilt deserted beaches which lined the east coast of Myanmar. For once we were not disappointed with hardly any other tourists there we had this lovely pristine beach to ourselves and the loan gun boat anchored out in the ocean. There’s very little to do here and we spent four very relaxing days soaking up the rays.

This has to be one of my favourite beaches. It is definitely an ideal place to sit and do nothing - something which I'm becoming very good at! The town itself is charming in a small off the beaten track sort of way, full of curious friendly locals. There are a handful of family run restaurants which for the first time in Myanmar served up some great local seafood.

We still managed to find the only place in the town with satellite TV and caught the Man United v Chelsea game with about 50 locals in someone's house. The result went the right way unfortunately for the resident Chelsea fans. Maybe next time...
