From Yangon -> Duration time: 1 hr 40 minutes
A famous border town between Myanmar and Thailand, Tachileik is popular with tourists in Thailand renewed. But there's much more to it than that, and visitors who go for its own sake will be rewarded. A small replica of Yangon's Shwedagon Pagoda sits on a small hill overlooking the town. The town's market is a thriving centre where tourists can buy all manner of cheap clothing, fashion accessories, electronics and DVDs.
