Major city · Myanmar
Thazi
Use Thazi as a one-night rail stop, not a sightseeing base; onward trains connect to Mandalay, Yangon, Kalaw and Shwenyaung.
Thazi is a small town in Central Myanmar and a useful transport hub. The supplied guide lists no sights or activities, so plan on a quiet overnight stop rather than a sightseeing day. The town is small enough to explore on foot, with simple food options near the guesthouses.
