"I was lucky enough to visit Myit Kan Gyi on 13th January with some friends on your organised village tour. Unfortunately we didn’t
spot any dolphins but it stood out as a special day largely due to the incredible hospitality of the locals" D.M.
The development of the destination is a community-conservation project, which is supported by Myanmar and UK staff of the UK charity, the Harrison Institute.
