Support Homegrown Burmese Business

The owner of this tour company/internet cafe/free computer school is self-taught. An amazing fellow. At the beginning of the year he was ripped off in a very clever work visa scam in which the scam artists performed corporate identity theft of both a well known hotel in London as well as a visa company. These scam artists prey on the desperation of people in countries like Burma where many people have no hope to make a living for their families and have to find work in places such as Singapore, Dubai, Malaysia...and are generally treated very poorly.

In this case it was fortunate for his home town of Nyaung Shwe which is the gateway to the mystical Inle Lake of Shan State, Myanmar (Burma). Inle Pancake Kingdom offers not only the best fresh strawberry and chocolate pancakes to be found anywhere in Burma, but also uses it's facilities to teach the local children computer skills and English.

With the dramatic drop in tourists coming into the country Inle Pancake Kingdom is moving into a new realm of virtual tourism and is creating videos of traditional culture to bring the true spirit of the people of Myanmar to the world.
