Visit Authentic Fishing Villages
Ngapali is not only famous for its pristine beach, but also well known as the peaceful home to many fishing villages, both around the beach and in the Thandwe area.
Linthar village is to the north of the beach while Gyeik Taw village (or Jade Taw Village) is to the south. Both can easily be reached by foot or by bicycle. You can pay a visit to the school, or observe the daily lives and the fishing techniques of the fishermen.
Kinmaw village and Maung Shwe Lay village are located around the Thandwe area, which can be only reached by car or by boat.
You may have a chance to see the clay pottery works or learn about daily life and culture in the villages, watch the fishermen spreading out fish to dry in the hot sun, and see them preparing the delicate nets they use for fishing.
You can pay a short visit to the factory which makes table-mats and learn about the way locals weave bamboo strips to make the mats.
No matter which village you go to, you will definitely glean a better understanding of local life and your village trip may be one of highlights of your vacation at Ngapali Beach.
