Welcome to Pyay

Pyay is a town and district of the Bago Division in Lower Myanmar, located some 161 km, or 7 hours north of Yangon by road, or an overnight boat trip south of Bagan. The British Irrawaddy Flotilla Company established the current town in the late 1800s on the Ayeyarwady River as a transshipment point for cargo between upper and lower Myanmar. It is also called Pyi by the locals.
