Shwe Yaunghwe Kyaung - Inle Lake Region, Myanmar

This monastery in Nyaung Shwe is by far the most famous in the region thanks to its gorgeous teak design features.

It has a large ordination hall which is known as a thein in Burmese which is punctuated by large windows through which you can take photographs of the monks as they go about their daily lives (make sure to ask first). The monastery is on the way from Nyaung Shwe to Shwe Yaung and if you only visit one religious building around Inle Lake then this makes the perfect choice.
