The local people are very friendly. The town has 30 very good shops and places to eat and about 10 resorts. I saw 20 Westerners in 2 weeks

Take a ferry from Yangon to Pathein for USD7 (takes about 22hrs). or thake a 5hr bus ride. Patheine to Ngwe Saung Beach is 35 miles across mountains. This section of road is very good (1hr). At night watch out for wild elephants
