Pyapon Town, one of the prominent towns of Aye-yar-wady river delta region. A potential "sea port" City like Yangon.
This town is located very close to Andaman Sea. Potentially promising location to become another "sea port" major City like Rangoon/Yangon City if the future Government of Myanmar has the wise wisdom, visionary concepts.

  • I think with the able and capable futuristic visions of rulers, Pyapon can become an important new sea-port City like Yangon if build and expand the town to city hood. Major plans are needed to construct connections to Rangoon/Yangon by airways (Airport), roadways (bridges) and riverways.
