The train ride-loop is about 2,5 hour, but we jumped of after 1h. You get the feeling of the local life and you really get to interfere with the locals. They share their fruit with you gladly. Jump of when everybody jumps on, there's a huge local market. Take a taxi back to the city for nothing above 10000 kyat!
