Enjoy Dawei River boat ride

A boat ride along the Dawei River or Tavoy River can be truly memorable. Sailing on a traditional long tail boat, traversing the picturesque zone known as " Little Amazon of Myanmar" is a perfect way to learn about local life as well as its fascinating traditional works.
Travelers can witness a wide variety of wildlife too, that includes white herons, kingfishers, and stalks. Views of sunset over the rustic villages along the river bank is simply romantic.
 

Savour an Upha Moe

This yummy Dawei dessert is a must try. The traditional dessert made from a very thin batter of coconut milk, rice, and egg is a foodie’s delight.
The batter is poured into a very small wok over a wooden cooker, with an extra clay pot containing embers placed on top to create a micro oven heating the Upha from both sides. It is then served on a banana leaf. 
 

See Lawka Tharaphu Pagoda & Its Reclining Buddha

This 250 ft long reclining Buddha is one of the most magnificent structure in Dawei. The best time to visit this gigantic statue is mid to late afternoon when the lower sun reflects directly off the golden body.
Lawka Tharaphu Pagoda, which houses this reclining Buddha, cannot be missed out on Dawei trip.

Explore Historic Buildings and Paya Ge Art works
