Htwe Oo Myanmar Traditional Puppet Theatre

Top choice in Yangon


Book ahead for this utterly charming cultural experience by Htwe and his family, who stage traditional puppet shows in their front living room. They've travelled the world and won awards for their shows, which last around an hour. The shows include English explanations and you can inspect and play with the beautiful puppets.

If you'd like to buy one of the puppets – far superior in quality to those found in Yangon's tourist markets and shops – Htwe can arrange this with the master puppet maker for around US$60.
