How about satiating the hunger at Feel Restaurant? The restaurant serves up authentic native dishes for every palate, from mild to wild. As we wrap up the day, let's find solace in the serene embrace of Thaketa Park. Rent a paddle boat or simply lay back and enjoy the quiet and peace. Hasn't the day been a treat for the senses?

On our last day let's bask in the divine aura of the Chauk Htat Gyi Buddha Temple. This temple for a reclining Buddha, stretching an incredible 66 meters, is a sight to behold. A visit here is bound to leave you in awe. As our trip draws to an end, why not take a piece of Thingangyun with you? Spend your afternoon shopping for local handicrafts and souvenirs at Bagan Bazaar.
