About Kyun Daw
Kyun Daw is a tiny village at the north end of the Irrawaddy River in Myanmar. It's actually a small island, and Avalon Waterways is the only river cruise line that visits it. It's a comparatively well-to-do village, where fishing is the primary source of income. Catfish -- as heavy as 600 pounds -- are coveted, and you'll see women carrying baskets of fish throughout the village. Neat wooden houses built on stilts line the dirt roads.
A visit to Kyun Daw will probably include a stop at the village schoolhouse, where you'll get a chance to interact with children from kindergarten age to fifth grade. Be prepared to spend a lot of time smiling, laughing and singing along with the kids, who will be as fascinated by you as you are by them.

Pros: This tiny fishing village of dirt roads and wooden houses features a Buddhist nunnery and is truly off the beaten tourist path.
Cons: This is a remote village that sees hardly any visitors. It has almost no infrastructure and few English-speaking residents.
Bottom Line: This island is perfect for travelers seeking a glimpse of an authentic, untouched Southeast Asian village.
