I was at the top of pagoda beside A Lo Taw Pyay pagoda, the view from here was pretty amazing. It was about 5pm and I can see the different patterns of weathers over Bagan. Some part was cloudy and the other part was raining.

A Trip to Bagan #2
After checking condition of the bicycle, I started my exploration around Bagan about 3:30pm. I skipped Shwe Zigon Pagoda and headed to A Lo Daw Pyay Pagoda.
Exploring around Bagan with bicycle is very convenient for photo taking. I can stop anywhere I like to. That's why I got a lot of photos during my trip. However, it is quite tired because of intense heat around 40 degree Celsius.

A Trip to Bagan #1
 |
| This photo was taken from bus. I wish I can stopped the bus and took a few photo of this amazing place. |
Time has passed very quickly. Now is 2012. I had made a 3 days 2 nights trip from Mandalay to Bagan at Aug 2010 and I am thinking of writing posts for that trip even though the trip is not so recent.
First, I bought a bus ticket 4000 kyats for one way. I think it was quite cheap but they put extra chairs for last minute passengers, so the car was slightly overloaded.
The scenery along the way is spectacular. A lot of palm trees standing under intense heat about 40C.
I visited Bagan when I was about 10 years old. At that time, traveling time between Mandalay to Bagan took about 10hrs. It is only 5 hrs with the new shortcut road. Even though the road condition is not so good, shorter traveling time is a better improvement.
Bagan is accessible by flight, train, bus and boat. However, traveling by bus is a good option. I took night train to Bagan from Mandalay at 2002 (10pm – 6am), but train service is not so reliable during monsoon season due to seasonal flooding and the train schedule might change or cancel.

Little boy @ Bukt Timah Nature Reserve
I don't know what he is biting in his mouth. He is really curious about my camera.
Even though he is a little boy, he face look like adult.

Flying from Bangkok to Yangon (Suvarnabhumi Airport)
We took taxi from hotel to Suvarnabhumi Airport. 500 Baht for the trip. The driver scared us by saying that he never sleep last night and feel sleepy right now. On the way to airport, he stopped a while and wash his face. :( He is quite friendly though.
I was praying to arrive the air port safely.
Before check-in, I claimed all the items which I bought at King Power at the airport.
My flight was Air Asia. I used the ticket kiosk to get the boarding pass and then check-in the luggage.

Safari World, Bangkok #3
Now I am waiting to watch the Orang Utan show. This show is very funny and Orang Utans are very smart. Some people say it is kind of animal cruelty because they are forced to play boxing and fight each other. According to what I see, they are just playing for fun not very serious.

Burmese Dinner in Mandalay
This is one of my favorite Burmese restaurants "Aye Myit Tar" in Mandalay. Their side dishes are very delicious.
This is what we had on that day. Mutton, chicken, pork and hilsa (ငါးသေလာက္) curry. Every time I go to Burmese restaurant I'd like to order prawn or hilsa curry. I don't like pork, chicken, mutton or beef curry.

Safari World, Bangkok #1
After Dream World, my next destination is Safari World (zoo). I bought the Safari World package Tour from the guide who I hired for Dream World tour. He is very friendly and helpful. He gave me 50 baht discount for Safari World Tour and told me not to tell other passengers about this because he charged 950 baht to the rest. There were 10 passengers in our car.
The car left from hotel at 9am and reached there about 9:45am. It is quite far from city. If you are late, you cannot visit Wildlife park because it is open only morning till noon. I think if you are driving, you can drive yourself inside the wildlife park.
