There wasn’t much to do in Thaunggok besides wander around and by 9pm everything was shut down and the streets hauntingly dark.
On my first day there I rented a motorbike but ended up returning it after about 5 minutes of riding – it bucked like an unbroken mule (and was naturally made in China).
Exploring by foot opened up many more doors (literally and figuratively).
Check out the photos below.
