Travel Guide Pathein

You can easily explore the delta region from Yangon. Whether you choose the option of bus, shared taxi, or pick-up truck with driver. Be careful, however, most places are completely inaccessible during the wet season. For it is indeed the water region. Rice fields and cotton crops. Make sure you can get there in advance. Officially, Lower Burma should be the testing ground for the Burmese Green Revolution. Yet since the end of the settlements, the region has not recovered the economic activity and yields that made it the country's rice granary. This is despite the fact that the ports are strategic outlets on the sea, coveted by China's big neighbour. The lack of infrastructure means that any trip to the delta is punctuated by wooden bridge crossings or ferry crossings.
