Swe Taw Myat Pagoda in Rangoon

Pay respect 10 Bayan Trees within a day

Very attractive and very clean

Located in a quiet surrounding. Not much visitor. A peaceful place for early morning prayers.

Its quiet place to venerate the Buddha and chant Buddhas Dhamma but currently the security concern is in high level and the visitors need to give the name, contact number and residing address.

Worth the visit! Its very calm in the morning, not too many people around. Inside theres the tooth relic, but no description of what youre looking at, so I didnt even know there was a sacred tooth. The intricate details on windows and doors are just super nice. The road to the pagoda is also very beautiful, lined by trees and you pass by a small lake. The official entry fee for foreigners is 3000 MMK

Peaceful and quiet

No touristy crowds here. Early morning and evening are the best times to visit.Keep in mind that this is a religious place, and not a tourist attraction.

Not listed in the tourism destinations, it is a good quiet first introduction to Buddhist worship.

A pagoda out of touristic routes. Beautiful. Tooth of Buddah!

Good place to visit!

The Swe Taw Myat paya or “Buddha tooth relic pagoda” is one of Yangons recent places of worship.

Entrance fee apply and you don’t get to see what you paid up close.

This Pegoda is bit far from the central yangon, its quite near the airport. But its worth seeing. I would suggest best time to go is in the evening when you can see the day light and well as the dawn from the Pegoda. The lighting inside the Pegoda is mesmerizing. It is said Buddhas tooth is placed here. I loved it I hope you guys will as well

Swe Taw Myat Pagoda away from downtown Yangon but close to Yangon International Airport. Admission fee 3,000 Kyat. Is a curved pagoda, inside the 8-sided pagoda have Buddha Tooth Relic snd the birthday Buddha statue of each day to pay respect.

This beautiful pagoda has a duplicate Tooth Relic of the historical Buddha as its centrepiece. It is architectural stunning pagoda housing eight Buddha statues in different mudras. A good place to do a quiet contemplatve meditation.

To enjoy peace and calmness, one should visit this place atleast once to have an awesome experience of spirituality and connection

Very Beautiful Pagoda.

The place to find peace and Mitta. Night time is the best.

This place is not too crowded; peaceful and cool inside. Its not too hot like other temples. So I just stopped by for a while to make a homage, pray and do meditation.

It was commissioned to enshrine a sacred Buddha Tooth Relic from China, believed to be from the Gautama Buddha.

Wellcome to Visit for Myanmar

Wonderful place. Its a bit far from the main town.

A peaceful place. Best to visit at early morning or late evening.

Everywhere shinning gold.

That is a nice place.The stupa design is base on Arnanda pagoda of Bagan and added new design of present.

* Buddha Tooth Relic Pagoda *It is located on the Sware Taw Myat road between Junction 8 and Junction Tadalay.The pagoda represents the Arnanda Temple in Bangan which was built by King Kyansinthar about 1000 years ago.The original secred Buddha Tooth Relic from China was brought in 1994 and placed together with the copys of tooth relic made of ivory for 45 days to pay homage by the Buddhists.Then a copy of Buddha tooth relic was enshined in the pagoda and can be viewed by public. This is the special chance because most relics from other pagodas are enclosed in the stupas and cannot be viewed.The atmosphere around the pagoda is the same with other pagodas in Myanmar.

What a peaceful place!Wanna visit there again. You will hear the sparrows chirping when you enter the building.

Pay homage to Buddhas tooth relic at this pagoda. A nice place for your inner peace. You may find Birds and Sparrows noisy sometimes.

Beautiful temple. You can immediately feel a humble peace flowing in to you as you walk up the stairs.Do take your shoes off before going up the stairs.It is said place in the middle of temple is a relic from Buddha.Great place to do meditation or simply to enjoy a moment of inner peace.

Exquisite. Carefully preserved tooth relic of Buddha, kept in a majestic temple. What was touching, though, was the reverence displayed by a security guard who came forward respectfully to help in taking a photograph of the relic. The respect and veneration shown towards monks by the people of Myanmar is exemplary. In no pagoda are monks charged for tickets.

Beautiful Place if come on evening

Beautiful Pagoda ... Must visit...

1 of the famous pagoda in Myanmar, Yangon with BUDDHAs Tooth relic.

Very nice Pagoda here is my first Pagoda in Yangon

One if the wonderful pagoda it is..I very much like to do meditation inside the pagoda and read some dhamma books out side the pagoda on steps... I really like it...

This Pagoda is newly made after 2nd world war. The shape is inspired by the Arnanda temple in Bagan. This is the most beautiful pagoda in my opinion. We can enter the pagoda and watch a pillar which Buddha tooth located. It is not crowded and good place for meditation. too

Beautiful temple

If youre a tourists, visiting the exterior is sufficient. Inside is more for prayers and nothing to look at at all

Peaceful place. The air is cool and fresh. Morning time is recommended for travelers.

Been to this holy pagoda, which believe to have the tooth relic of The Buddha. Nice and peaceful place.

Nice, peaceful pagoda that’s off the main tourist path in Yangon. Not huge but architecture is impressive, and the inside is beautiful. Went on a Saturday afternoon and only had a few visitors, all seemed to be local Burmese. Worth a visit if you have the time and willing to venture out.
