The Shwe Hin Tha Resort Hotel, Ngwe Saung Beach - Myanmar

The Shwe Hin Tha Resort at Ngwe Saung Beach (near Chaungtha
Beach and Pathein in Western Myanmar) has a great little set of two types of
bungalows right on the beach.  The more
expensive ($20-25/night) are stucco duplex buildings with Mosquito Net and
semi-private balcony/sitting areas that are 50’ from the water’s edge.  The rooms are simple but comfy and the
bathrooms are bright and pretty clean. 
The less expensive bamboo bungalows are set back a bit off the beach but
nice too with little patio’s and an open air bathroom.  The staff are great here – breakfast is
included and two girls come by each morning to take your order and deliver you
breakfast on your patio.  They also have
an OK restaurant for lunch and dinner and will deliver food (and of course,
cold Myanmar
beer) to your bungalow along with mosquito coils, candles and hot water for
tea.  There is only electricity from
about 6:00pm – 11:00pm so you might as well get up early and enjoy the
beach.  The water is really nice and
clean and warm and you can walk to Lover’s Island in 10 minutes or to Ngwe Saung
Village in about 45
minutes.  Multi day discounts are
available.
