★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The locals will stop you as you pass the village and ask if you want a tour, but won’t tell you that they expect a fee until you want to leave. She calls it a “donation” but she only wants to accept 5000, 10000 or 15000. When I gave her less she wasn’t happy and started mumbling in Burmese. When I turned to her, she gave an eery smile. Was quite a scary experience to be honest. Be prepared to pay before you enter ...
the goods are also not that cheap ... I said I wanted juice at first but then said nvm I think I’ll just drink water and she repeated “NEVERMIND?!”

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice break from Temple hopping. Although it might seem a bit staged, I did enjoy seeing village life. Being told that the village only had electricity connected in 2016 was an eye opener.
Although we had our own tour guide, the tour was carried out by the youth of the village.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A village houses 125 families and they are equipped with mainly the making of sand artworks, scarf weaving, minnanthu village cigar. End of tour, the villagers will ask you for monetary gratitude which said to be their customary traditions for each foreigners leaving the village. No obligations in buying and they are absolutely friendly. Tourist trap or not will depends on how you see it.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A traditional Burmese village where tourists can experience village life. They showcase traditional methods of processing cotton, weaving fabric, making sesame and peanut oil, lacquer work, sand painting. The locals are friendly and will be happy to guide for a fee (10,000 MYK).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small, traditional village where you can witness daily life and how different items are crafted. A friendly English speaking "host" will show you around. You get to take nice pictures and see how people in the countryside live and work.
The aim of this sightseeing is obviously to get you to buy souvenirs and crafted items. The offer everything from scarfs and cigars to paintings. It's an experience I wouldn't be without.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ An excellent experience to see the Burmese way of life, great to see them hanging on to some of their old traditions. Yes they are after money and put on a little show for us but this is desperation because these people are dirt poor and are trying to find a way to make money by selling stuff they make, because that’s all they know. To add insult to injury they have been going through years of drought. Just sit and talk and you will learn how lucky we all are to be able to travel the world and not worry about how to put food on our table or worry if our children can be educated ?
We didn’t buy a heap but gave a few dollars here and there especially the girl Htwe Htwe who guided us. She spoke amazing English and never went to university because her family had no money. We are now looking for a way to sponsor her education and hopefully help them help themselves escape abject poverty!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really nice typical village. A lot of real insights of life in a village. The village is from the time old Bagan was built, in 12th century. 600 people live there, in 120 houses. They sell everything they make, and a little more. there are some invitations to donate, but no one forces you like in some other places. I would highly recommend you stop there when in old Bagan. Excellent tour guide, with tours of kitchen, old Mills, cotton weaving process and spinning, tobacco, lackerware. Very approachable people. Try to go in the morning to see more people,and the temperature is not as high.
