Hey fellow travelers! I’ve been eyeing Myanmar for a while now, and Botahtaung Pagoda sounds like a hidden gem. Anyone been there recently? I’m curious about the whole “pouring water over Buddha statues for good luck” thing. How does that work exactly? And does anyone have tips on the best time to visit to catch that golden stupa reflecting the sunset? Sounds like it could be an Instagram goldmine! Oh, and has anyone tried those street snacks nearby? I’m always down for local eats. Let’s swap stories!
Wow, I had no idea you could actually go inside Botahtaung Pagoda! That’s so cool. I’m really curious about those murals and artifacts inside – does anyone know if there are guides available to explain the history and significance? And has anyone tried pouring water over the Buddha statues for good luck? I’d love to hear if it worked! Oh, and those boat trips on the Yangon River sound amazing for photos. Any recommendations on the best time of day to go for that golden light on the stupa? I’m a bit of a photography nerd, so I’m always chasing those perfect lighting conditions!
