This is my first destination on my third day in Myanmar. Tooth Relic Pagoda or also known as Swe Taw Myat Paya is located in Mayangone township on a small hill named Dhammapala and open daily from 6 am to 76 pm. This Pagoda is free admission, but if you bring camera, it would take MMK 200 fee. Tooth Relic Pagoda was built for imortalize a sacred Buddha tooth relic, one of the teeth of Gautama Buddha who died some 2500 years ago. FYI, this teeth was brought from China in 1994 and put on the Pgoda for 45 days for Burmese Buddists to pay homage.

You can see the Swe Taw Myat tooth relic because it's unlike the others relic which cannot be viewed by the public and usually hidden deep in the pagoda. Go inside to the large hall which the roof supported by huge gold painted columns. There is surrounding fence which encircled by Buddha Statues with various mudras seated on pedestals. The relic is encircled by small green jade Buddha Statues.

For going to Bagan, I use JJ bus with fare around USD 19, it's depart from Yangon at 8 pm and need 10 hours to arrive in Bagan. So, I'm gonna stay at bus this night. See you tomorrow at my next trip, guys..

How to Get There

Explore The Golden Land Myanmar Part 2

Hello Guys, this is my third day Myanmar and I'll explore more pagodas here. After breakfast at hotel, my first destination, I'm going to Tooth Relic Pagoda located in Mayangone township on a small hill named Dhammapala, then the second destination I'll go to Monastery and the last destination I'll visit Myanmar Plaza before I heading to Bagan. The easiest way to explore all of that place is by using taxi from my hotel, the fare is around MMK 5000.

 

Tips and Trick the golden land myanmar

For visiting Tooth Relic Pagoda, if you bring camera it would take fee about MMK 200 in Tooth Relic Pagoda, also you should take off your shoes before entering the pagoda building and don't forget to wear polite clothes. If you're going to continue your trip to Bagan like I was, you can take it by land trip or air trip. Air trip is more saving time but quite pricey and land trip is cheaper but need long time to arrive. I suggest you to buy the online bus ticket here.
