Myanmar (Burma) — Drinking Water on the streets of Yangon (Rangoon), Myanmar (Burma)

Where to get a drink in Myanmar?

March 2015

A common sight when I was wandering around Yangon (Rangoon) were little covered ‘shacks’ on the side of the road, usually containing clay pots.

These ‘shacks’ are drinking stations that contain pots of water from which anyone can have a drink. I saw many people using them.

With the hot climate of Myanmar, it seemed a very sensible way to help people stay hydrated.
