Introducing Pathein (Bassein)
A good staging post on the way to Chaungtha or Ngwesaung Beaches, Pathein is, believe it or not, Myanmar’s fourth-largest city. Located in the heart of the Ayeyarwady delta, Pathein is a good place to check the pulse of real local life. It’s home to a flourishing parasol industry and is a good place to pick one up during the blasting heat. The wide, scenic Pathein River curves through town, delivering constant action.
