Ogre Island

Mawlamyine, Myanmar

An island across the river from Mawlamyine, known for cottage industries such as weaving, chalkboards, pipes, hats, and rubber bands. A guide is necessary as the island is incredibly spread out and is the size of Singapore. You can arrange a tour from Breeze Inn Guesthouse (18,000 kyat per person) or simply arrive on shore and ask around for an English speaking moto driver. High tide in the mornings means disembarking into watery mud, so it is best to wear sandals.
