Yangon residents flock to Chaungtha Beach over public holiday

Among those who visit Chaungtha Beach during public holidays through travel compa­nies, the majority are Yangon residents. 

Visitor arrival to the beach has been non-stop but usually increased on weekends. 

“Visitor arrival doesn’t stop but usually increases on weekends and holidays. Most visitors come by travel agen­cies. Famous hotels are full of visitors on weekends. Visitors come with friends or families, and most are Yangon residents. The road to Chaungtha is fine," said a resident. 

In August, local visitor ar­rival increased in Bagan and Popa as the rain level was low in such locations. Similarly, many people visit Hpa-an, where nat­ural sceneries look beautiful, especially during monsoon sea­son. Some visitors went on day trips to places around Yangon. 

In May, the arrival of local visitors from Yangon and Ay­eyawady regions also mount­ed in Ngwehsaung Beach, and people also flocked to beaches in order to escape the heat last summer. –— Thit Taw/ZS
