Visit the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum
This is more than just any ordinary museum. This was the scene of some of the most horrific abuses of Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge regime. So how should we feel?
Finding the Burmese Days of old
The small town of Pyin Oo Lwin is a reminder of the British colonial times in Myanmar. It was the summer holiday resort during those years and much remains.
Discovering the secret Burmese capital
Just 20 kms from Mandalay is the longest-serving capital of Burma. On a small island, accessible only by boat, the ruins show you the country that was.
The last king of Burma
It’s been more than a hundred years since the last Burmese King lived in the Royal Palace of Mandalay. But now it’s been restored for visitors.
Getting off Scott free
During a trip to Pyay, I was able to explore the ancient Pyu city of Sri Kestra. But I learnt much more about the nature of the Myanmar people from Scott.
