Favorite thing: Kalaw is out of the way for most tourists, which meant we saw just two other tourists whilst we were here. The town is a great starting point for trecking in the mountains and has an enormous market most days. It's a photographers dream destination. This would be the place I would like to come back to.

Favorite thing: be there when there is the market day. You can see a lot of hill tribes in their dresses.

KALAW

 Kalaw in Shan State is a former colonial British hill station, sits at 1,300 meters elevation offering that way cool temperatures (chilling I would say in the evening)
