Ngapali Beach on the Bay of Bengal

Welcome to Ngapali Beach

This is the most popular beach site in Myanmar although a bit off where people usual travel . Since this is the only good waterfront which is accessible by air having a dedicated small airport a couple of minutes away it is the best accassible waterfront in Myanmar which is in the northwest corner in Rakhine State.

Ngapali Beach waterfront map & pictures the seafront on the bay of Bengal is the best developed in the country several resorts are owned or managed by foreign companies which makes sure to have a certain good standard. On the other hand those hotels have higher prices than the other

This is the former Arakan with Sittwe as capital and the border to Bangladesh northwards. Arakan had a very important role in Burmas / Myanmar history because the Portuguese and Dutch landed here first on their trading quest to Asia. Most Ngapali is closed during the Monsoon season.

Early in the morning in the fishermen start their activities to pull their catch ashore and sort it out. You can do a day trip to watch them, the other parts are used almost exclusively for guests. There are small restaurants behind serving fresh seafood, some bars with music and a good service, there are excellent hotels and resorts around.

The life of the local people has not much changed in the last thousand years it's easely visible at the the environment including the oxcarts.

This are all fishing communities but the upcoming tourism will bring an infusion of modern times. They still using the oxcarts extensively they are the backbone of rural transportation and it seems as if they like it playing around in the warm emerald waters of the Bay of Bengal.

On the other hand this is a unique local environment with the oxcarts i guess it could be a real unique tourist attraction.

Something like this is not visible anymore in southeast Asia elsewhere. if you have enough from lazing around and the sun already did the job stand up a bit more early and walk south for a while there is lots to see. You will pass some fishermen villages and watch them how to bring in their catch.

Beautiful islands and beaches in south Myanmar

But there is nothing developed no hotels no accommodations and only accessible from Yangon via Dawai and Myeik plus Kawthaung. Kawthaung at the southernmost tip is reachable from Ranong Thailand it is not possible to move beyond city limits. It needs to get a visa from their embassy in Bangkok first after the country can be accessed. Even during English colonial times Myanmar / Burma was better accessible I sometimes wonder what this so called government in Naypidaw is doing the whole day? It looks as this is a 18th century bureaucracy only busy with themselves.
