Maymyo to Thibaw by Train
The train ride from Maymyo to Thibaw is beautiful. It passes though very pretty countryside and stops in small villages. It is particularly beautiful passing over the Gok Teik Gorge on a bridge built in 1903. At the time it was the second highest railway bridge in the world.
It is much slower than car or bus, and many be many hours late -- five hours when I took it -- but it is well worth the time.
