http://www.hotsia.com > Traveling in Myanmar on Your Own > Mandalay > Chewing Betel Nut in Myanmar Information about traveling in Bagan or Pukam, Mandalay region. Visit Bagan Pukam, dress in traditional Burmese royal costumes, have Burmese girls apply thanaka. Stay at these two hotels: 1. Grand Empire Hotel 2. New. Chewing betel nut with Bagan Pukam girls. Ancient Thai people used to chew betel nut. My grandmother also chewed betel nut, I still remember when I prepared it for her. When I traveled to Laos, older people also chewed betel nut.

In Myanmar, both young and old people chew betel nut, but I did not see Burmese girls chewing it; they mostly apply thanaka. At Backpacker Alley, Burmese girls sit selling betel nut while using their mobile phones, maybe on Line or Facebook. I tried buying some betel nut to try. It tastes bitter and astringent. I felt a bit dizzy, unlike drinking alcohol or beer. It adds a unique flavor to the travel experience. mr.Hotsia, Travel with Passion, February 2015. Burmese girl selling betel nut.
