Monywa: See
Boddhi Tataung (4 km from Thanboddhay Pagoda). Two big statues of Buddha and a golden pagoda which makes for a pretty amazing sight. One Buddha is standing and the other is lying on its side. You can enter the inside of the standing Buddha which consists of quite a few storeys. The images on the walls mostly depict visions of hell.
Thanboddhay Pagoda (About 20 km southeast of Monywa, or about 30-45 min via tuk-tuk). Built between 1939 and 1952, the unique feature of this pagoda is its small sculptures of Buddha (said to be more than 500,000). There is a little tower just opposite the pagoda which can be climbed. USD3.
