Read moreBuilt on stilts like all the other monasteries in the region, this small monastery, still in operation, is famous for its teak thein, the consecrated room, and its oval openings, unique in their kind, which sometimes let you see the heads of the bonzillons studying. It is undoubtedly a very beautiful image to photograph or simply to keep as a souvenir, which shows all the charm of Burma. Near the monastery, you can visit a small pagoda, interesting for the interior decorations of its ambulatory.
