Thanakha Gallery

TIME : 2016/2/17 15:27:11

Claiming that it’s the ‘Only One Thanakha Gallery In the World’, this sizeable complex has a small gallery devoted to the myriad medicinal and cosmetic uses of the thanakha tree (Limonia acidissima ), from its roots to its bark. It has a small plantation of the trees, around which bounce a posse of cute bunny rabbits, to which you can feed bunches of greens. Really, the place is a glorified shop for the thanakha cosmetics of Shwe Pyi Nann , as well as a good range of other Bagan and Myanmar souvenirs. A restaurant, internet cafe and beauty salon round out the complex.
