Thazi

Thazi is a small town in Myanmar, useful because of its location for transiting around the country.

Understand
Location

Get in

There are afternoon or evening trains from Mandalay to Thazi. Two trains from Rangoon run, one leaves in the morning arriving in Thazi in the evening and two run overnight.

If arriving from Inle Lake and heading for Mandalay you'll arrive around 19:00 so plan on food, an early night and then the 05:00 train. Everyone here is used to this so expect your horse and cart driver to prearrange a pickup. Alternatively plan to spend a quiet day in Thazi and get the evening train or to navigate via bus to Meiktila.

gollark: Wow, regex lookbehind/ahead is highly.
gollark: Well, obvious mathy ones are pi and e.
gollark: Oh, so you still write the code and whatever in UTF-8 but (for this specific palaiologistic thing) can ship your code in the new codepage and have it smaller?
