Day and night trips to the recently famous Saleaintan Beach in Kungyangon near Yangon are on the increase during weekends and long holidays, according to the locals.
“As this is the dry season, there are regular visitors. More people come to the beach on weekends and religious holidays. Those who don’t like crowded places and families come to the beach during the week. During the holidays, the restaurants sell more due to more visitors.
