River and Lake Cruise

Its' slow but cheap for local people.


The country has plenty of river and lakes but mostly it's not efficient used. It took the British or rather Scottish during colonial times to get river travel moving. 

When they came to Burma only some small sail ships were around, when they left they had a flotilla of about 600 vessels big and small on all big streams, the coast and between the islands in the Myeik Archipelago.That was the "Irrawaddy Flotilla Company".
