This is Pandaw 2 in all of its glory, our home for 10 nights and eleven days - along with 36 other passengers and 32 staff.
A restoration of an English built steamer, Pandaw has been crafted from teak and brass by local Burmese. We tourists were in the lap of luxury in a wonderfully friendly, relaxing atmosphere on this cruise.



When we left the Pandaw and went to Inlay Lake, we traveled by motorised canoes. However, Tom and I rented this one from
the hotel to test our own muscle power.



The local boatmen get about by leg-paddling. It saves their arms getting tired (and keeps their thighs trim?).
