A 20-hour bus ride from Inle Lake (in fact: 5 hrs of minibus and 15 hrs of big bus) lies Myauk U, once the capital of the great Kingdom of Arakan, now a pleasant small town far away from the standard tourist trail in Myanmar, with magnificent temples as well as picturesque villages dotting the surrounding countryside. It is also a jumping-off point for boat trips to the villages of the Chin people, who used to tattoo the faces of their married women in order to avoid them being taken from them by their king.
