1 Shwe Myint Wan (the Golden Pagoda) (2-3 minutes from the border checkpoint by rickshaw). Very picturesque site with several big Buddha images enshrined on its grounds, one of which is a replica of the golden Buddha image of Mahamuni Temple in Mandalay. Locals claim that this pagoda is more than 1,000 years old. (updated Feb 2020)
2 Myikyaungon Temple (the Crocodile Temple) (6-7 minutes from the border checkpoint by rickshaw). Very unusual temple on the back of a gigantic crocodile statue. There is also a library on top, but women do not have access. An anti-clockwise series of pictures explains the life of Buddha.
3 Giant Standing Buddha. This complex houses a 20-m-high standing Buddha and a large golden bell shared tower.
4 Kyan Khinn Monestry.
