Setting sail from Monywa
There is not an awful lot to see in Monywa, and the main reason travellers end up here is due to its location as a hub for those venturing on to the Chindwin river. There are a few interesting sights in the surrounding area, however, including the colourful 13th century Thanboddhay pagoda.

Your home from home
Once a floating clinic, the Zawgyi Pandaw was completely refitted in 2014 and enhanced in 2015. With one of the shallowest drafts of the fleet she operates on the Chindwin River navigating the incredibly low water levels.
What We Love
Having been acquired in 2008, it wasn't until she finished service helping the Cyclone Nargis relief effort that she joined the Pandaw fleet. After a full refurbishment an upper deck was added featuring an excellent bistro and more accommodation, all of which feature Panoramic windows and sliding doors, to complement the comfortable observation saloon on the main deck.
