For lunch we went to Golden Myanmar, which features Burmese food.

If you order the "Myanmar Buffet" you get one of everything on the menu (see below). Any dishes that you finish are immediately refilled unless you can somehow communicate that you are quite full.

So much food!

Mya Zedi, a 12th Century gilded stupa.

Nanpaya, an 11th Century Hindu Temple.

The design elements and decorations seem very Khmer.

Our drive brought us here so we could climb up to the roof for sunset.

Not a great sunset, but quite a view.

Our guide, horse and cart wait for us near Lawkachanthar.
