Pyin U Lwin (Maymyo)

Also known as Maymyo - May Town - during British times, when it was a popular hill station thanks to the cool climate. Strangely the local taxis are mini stagecoaches.

You can keep abreast of my travels by visiting my website, including my cyber journal from Myanmar here.

Some of my photos are now available to buy in a variety of sizes and finishes, or as digital files, at Serenity Photography.

I was from Maymyo too and left from there when I was 16.Since then I never had a chance to visit there again.Sometimes miss so much where I used to live the house on circular road near catholic churches and convents.Thank you very much for the photos.

I was born in Maymyo (Pyin U Lwin) in 1932. My family came over to India in December 1941 soon after Pearl Harbour. I revisited Maymyo in December 2006 with my wife and my son. The town is unchanged. We found our house, Ruby Cottage, not only intact but lovingly maintained by the present owner whose father had purchased it from my father after the war. He led us into the house. The house is just as it was when we left over sixty years ago. My mother used to say that (she was born in Maymyo and left it when she was over 30) always used to say that there is no better place then Maymyo. I can now understand why.

Hello Serena., my heart lurched as I saw your photos in the internet this afternoon. I was born in Thaton and brought up in Maymyo, where I lived till I was 28, and then came to Tettnang in South Germany. My sisters are in the US and 2 school friends here in Germany...Where do you live?...
