Fun Activities in Kalaw

-

You can enjoy some fun activities when you are in Kalaw. 

(1) Train Tour

If you are travelling with a small group, friends, colleagues or family, you can hire ‌a rail cart which is available to ask at the original Kalaw station. The short trip will take about 3 hours and the train capacity is up to 15 people.

(2) Orange Farm

If you are a person who enjoys having new experiences on the organic farm, there are some orange farms. The one I went to is near Palaung Mountain. It charges only a small amount of entrance fee and you can borrow a traditional dress to take memorial photos there.






(3) Trekking to Cold Dam

Cold Dam, local people called Yay Aye Kan, is a Dam which distributes water to its neighbourhood including Kalaw. As it is located a bit far away from town ( around 6 miles), it is enough good for trekking. Along the way, the visitors must pass through the pine forest. Therefore, the scenery is wonderful and the new experience makes you satisfied.  





(4) Explore the Cave 

There are various natural caves around Kalaw but I depict some pictures of Myin Ma Htee Cave that I have actual experience with. 











Please make sure that our environment is not destroyed by our actions.

Why Should We Travel?

Many pessimists judge that travelling wastes money.  In our country, elderly people used to go on pilgrimage because it can avoid others' criticism.  For me, the definition of travel is just self-love giving myself freedom and cheerfulness. When I worked in Singapore, I got a reasonable salary but I had only left a little money after managing my income; some was transferred to family abroad, some was saved in a Bank in my country, some for room rental, phone bill, taxes and insurance.   Feeling exhausted and stressed, I frequently think of quitting my job after working hard continuously, but, my mind refreshes again when I see my salary at the end of the month. Nevertheless, it is a very short time because, as I said above, only a very little money for personal expenditures is left in my bank account.  It's like meditation counting on come in, come out. I think, "What a pity! What a thrifty life! However high my salary is, I still cannot expend as I wish." But s...

Singapore is a clean and safe city-state living in Discipline.  As a tourist, you need to know some small things not to break their law in public to enjoy the whole trip.  1. Do not throw any of your small trash incautiously. You can see plenty of dustbins anywhere in Singapore and do not hesitate to use them.  If not, both residents and visitors who break the law will be fine. 2. Do not spit on the road/platform/drainage You are not allowed to spit in the public area. The reason is to protect against any virus spreading and destroy cleanliness.   3. Queue anywhere If you go to any ticket booths, shopping centres, and even toilets, you must queue and avoid cutting the line. Of course, there is no fine at all but you may be looked down upon by their civilities.  Bike Stand Overhead Bridge Toolbox meeting at a construction site National Day Celebration Merina Bay Sand, a great architecture in Singapore 4.

Hey, Coffee lovers!!! If you are in Singapore now, just put aside Cappuccino, Mocha, or any other coffee you have drunk before, and try traditional coffee.
