 When thinking sea beaches in Myanmar most people think of Ngapali beac  h in Rakhine state. However, Ngwe Saung, meaning "Silver Beach" is relatively unknown. Lies 48 km west from Pathein, Ngwe Saung, situated on the western
seaboard facing the Bay of Bengal. It is bordered by tall, green palms swaying
in the breeze. The beach stretches 15 km of white sand and blue sea.
Pathein - capital city of the delta region and the gateway to Ngwe Saung beach
is the port city easily reached by road or by cruise through the complex
Ayeyarwady river. Pathein, situated in the Ayeyarwady Delta about 190 km west of
Yangon is well known by it production of unique parasol locally called "Pathein
Hti". There is an elephant camp between Pathein and Ngwe Saung beach, which
gives you an excellent opportunity to observe these mighty beasts as closed as
their nature.
Ngwe Saung Beach <combine with cruise>
The Delta region covers an area of 1000 square miles
of waterways and wetlands
and is one of the most complex river systems on the planet. There are seven main
channels flowing down from the Ayeyarwady valley and from these several thousand
creeks and lesser channels. The two main ports are Yangon, the present day
capital, and Pathein, centre for the paddy producers in this area once known as
the ‘rice basket of Asia’. In the Delta, profuse human activity mixes with a
varied selection of wild life and bird life. People live on the river and there
is constant activity. The Delta towns are attractive and humming with life and
activity. The Delta area has only just opened to travelers and a cruise through
its backwaters offers an insight into a lost world. 
Cruise

Delta region, via Pathein where the traditional umbrella and
