The 10 Best Food & Drink in Shan State, Myanmar
Shan State (Burmese: ရှမ်းပြည်နယ်, pronounced [ʃáɴ pjìnɛ̀]; Shan: မိူင်းတႆး [mə́ŋ.táj]) is a state of Myanmar. Shan State borders China to the north, Laos to the east, and Thailand to the south, and five administrative divisions of Burma in the west. Largest of the 14 administrative divisions by land area, Shan State covers 155,800 km², almost a quarter of the total area of Burma. The state gets its name from the Shan people, one of several ethnic groups that inhabit the area. Shan State is largely rural, with only three cities of significant size: Lashio, Kengtung, and the capital, Taunggyi. Taunggyi is 150.7 km north east of the nation's capital Naypyitaw.

It is always great to find somewhere on holiday where you can try your hand at creating some if the local dishes. It's even better when you know that you are supporting a very important community project as you enjoy the experience.

We actually didn’t do the cooking classes, however, friends who had previously visited recommended contacting Min as he offers a lot of other activities around Inle. He organised everything from kayaking, biking, hiking, visiting the local floating village markets, meeting local families for the most amazing traditional lunch, meeting REAL fisherman (not just the fake ones you see in the insta photos). His wife cooked us lunch one of the days also beside the cookery school- which was amazing. He even arranged our airport transfers. He is a local man and his passion for the local area really comes across. More importantly though, his understanding of the fragility of the lake and the environmental impacts climate change is having is really inspiring. I wish him and his wife every success for their business in the future!
