Day 2 KENGTUNG - MONG ZINE ( KHUN VILLAGE ) - KENGTUNG

around seemingly doing nothing but sales are transacted quietly. The market
is situated on the left hand side of the road, leaving Kengtung for Taunggyi
in the south of the town. The twice-weekly market excites considerable
interest, because water buffalos are not found in many countries. Then take
