Introducing West Coast Beaches & the Delta
Thailand may be the beach capital of Southeast Asia, but it’s no secret and you’ll have to share the sand with everybody else. Myanmar’s curvaceous coastline has some tasty slices of sand itself and there are few tourists during the week. Remote Ngapali Beach is the finest, but is rapidly pricing itself out of the backpacker market. Chaungtha Beach and Ngwesaung Beach are easier to reach from Yangon, both via the sleepy delta town of Pathein.

During the monsoon season (mid-May to mid-September) heavy rains blanket the coast and chase away most travellers.
