Nampan Hotels with Wi-Fi

We spent nearly a week in this great place on Inle Lake, for a number of reasons. Of course there's the lake itself, one of the most beautiful in the world if you ask me. And then there was the beautifully wooden cabin we stayed in; it was exactly right. Big enough to wile away the day, small enough to make you feel cosy and comfortable. Views over the water are default. The (young) staff is one of the other reasons to stay longer than planned; sweet people who'll do anything to make you feel at home. This is Myanmar in a nutshell. Locally there's lots of stuff to do: amazing markets that rotate around the lake, pagodas and temples and of course the famed fishermen, who still fish in the way of their forefathers. Staff can help you with getting there and away. They also have a nice pool for those other days, when cocktails seem like a better idea ;) One thing: it's a busy lake sometimes, and the boats have outboard diesel motors. I gotta say that we didn't mind; we are guests in an area where real people live real lives. It's not my place to be annoyed. But if you're prone to this kind of disturbance you could ask when the market is close to the resort (every 8 days or so), and decide to go before or after that date. They also have earplugs or cabins more in the back if you ask. Anyway, we basically just registered the sound and went on with our lives. It's up to you. One day, I'm sure, electric motors will take over the diesel slurpers, also for environmental reasons. Enjoy!
