I’m looking at my calendar and it feels like I did loads this day. I marked it as a travel day, since I’d be hopping another bus tonight to head to Inle Lake. The bus wasn’t until 8pm, so I had the entire day to see more of Bagan. As I wrote yesterday, I was all temple’d out by this point. Not knowing what else to do, I decided to rent an electric motorbike to cruise around town. I grubbed and cafe’d at a few places in the afternoon, cooled off at the hotel lobby (Myanmar was really hot), then had dinner at Sanon.
Sanon is ranked 4th on Tripadvisor as of this writing. They were number 1 when I was there. The food is great, so don’t let the ranking deter you. Sanon is actually a “training restaurant” that teaches local kids to cook. Maybe that’s why the ranking dropped because it’s chefs that are under training? Regardless, I like their mission and I wrote a lengthy post about them on Instagram. I’d go there again to support the establishment’s goal.
