Pagoda of Peace

Yangon / Myanmar

Shwe Dagon is a sanctuary of calm in the chaos of Yangon. Years ago I met a monk at this temple, a man who convinced me that tourism can lead to change in his country. So far his prediction have proved right. I enjoy sharing my insights into Myanmar with photographers, and I enjoy the gentle neature of the people. Above all, Shwe Dagon Pagoda is a place of peacefulness, where prayers are offered in kindness to others.

Behind The Scenes

If you want to read about why I began travelling to Myanmar with photo tours, please follow this link to the story of Uttama, a monk I met while wandering the golden shrines of Shwe Dagon Pagoda. I met him several months before Aung San Suu Kyi announced a new policy towards to tourism and inviting the outside world to see what was happening in Myanmar.
