Bagan

Lots of reasons to visit "Be Kind To Animals".  The food, pleasant staff to chat to, good information about the temples within cycling distance and a nice little drawing of an elephant added to my Lonely Planet guide.  

Make sure you go to the real BKTA.  There are imposters around.

Golden Express  

Rooms range from $18 up for a double. We thought it represented good value for money.  These are some of the newer more expensive units.   

Situated between Old Bagan and Nyaung U

Buffet breakfast is set up in the grounds every day.  The restaurant was brand new and a big  empty barn of a place.   We have noticed this at other small hotels and nobody ever seems to eat there.   Better and cheaper food is available close by.  

A short way along the road to Nyaung U the Nanda restaurant offers good food in congenial surroundings as does the Eden BBQ restaurant (worth a visit for the decor alone) Prices are high for Bagan, around $11 - $14 for two with a beer but worth it.  For Indian fare find the Aroma 2, hopefully if you have been to Naungshwe you will  have already eaten at Aroma 1.

The Nanda also has a good puppet show if you  have managed to get this far without seeing one.

The pool is most welcome after a hot and dusty morning cycling around the Plain.
