The heart of Myanmar’s faith
The Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon is the largest in Myanmar. The heart of the country’s Buddhist faith, it’s a shining golden symbol of the people.
Year: 2013
Myanmar invaded
After just a couple of days in the largest city in Myanmar, Yangon, I already have some confusing first impressions. But I know there’s lots more to learn.
All aboard the Death Railway
Riding the Death Railway and seeing the track where so many people lost their lives is a sobering experience. It’s hard to imagine what it was like.
Prisoners in the fires of hell
So many good men lost their lives during the construction of the ill-fated Burma-Thailand Railway. Hellfire Pass is a moving tribute to the POWs.
The Royal Summer Palace of Thailand
The Royal Palace at Bang Pa-in is just north of Bangkok and definitely worth a visit. Enjoy the beautiful grounds and variance in architecture.
The Thai waterfalls
The Erawan Falls are on the most popular spots in all the national parks of Thailand. Just a short trip from Kanchanaburi, it’s a beautiful place to relax.
