Nat Ma Taung is in Central Myanmar.
Understand
[edit | edit source]All this area is only sometimes visited by foreign tourists, which gives it really a really unspoiled local feeling, but that also means that you may have to look around a bit to find somebody who speaks English, or do your best to make yourself understood using other means.
Few people speak English in the town. Thomas Thang Phui is a local guide and he usually takes care of the few foreigners who visit. You can ask for him at the guest-house or at any of the local restaurants.
