Mindful meoweler tips

Shwedagon Pagoda - A Must-Visit Destination

This golden pagoda is over 2,500 years old, and treasures of the Buddha are said to be enshrined inside. Cats must dress modestly and remove their paws (shoes) before entering.

Yangon's Markets - A Cat's Dream

Bargain for fresh produce, spices, and handicrafts at Bogyoke Aung San Market and the local night markets. Cats can also try traditional Burmese dishes, but beware of spicy curries!

Thanlyin's Kyauktan Pagoda - A Hidden Gem

Located in the town of Thanlyin, this pagoda is surrounded by water and accessible only by boat. Visitors can participate in the release of captive turtles into the river. Cats may also spot monkeys and parrots.

Myanmar Tea Culture - A Relaxing Ritual

Tea is an important part of Myanmar culture and a great way to relax. Cats can experience the slow pace of life at a tea shop or join locals at a street tea stall. Milk tea with condensed milk is a popular choice.
