One of the more iconic structure of another form if you cast your sight far and wide in this area of Old Bagan. I love how majestic the building looks even when it appears to be run down and with refurbishment underway. A good photo opportunity spot for the trigger crazies too.

The Thatbyinnyu Temple is a Theravada Buddhist temple in Bagan (Pagan), Myanmar. The temple is recognized as a monument in the Bagan Archeological Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Completed in 1150–51 during the reign of King Sithu I, the temple reflected the Bagan period's "innovative architectural and artistic creativity" and "an expression of the self-confident Burmese spirit of nationhood." At the pinnacle height of 66 m (217 ft), the five-story Thatbyinnyu is known as the tallest temple in Bagan, alongside the tallest stupa in Bagan, the 100 m (328 ft) Shwesandaw. The temple was badly damaged by the earthquakes of 1975 and 2016. It is undergoing restoration work with Chinese technical and financial assistance; the restoration work is expected to last until about 2028.

Just another spectacular temple in Bagan! This one is surrounded with food stalls so you can grab a bite or ice cream to cool down whisky you’re exploring. There is a small Hindu temple nearby which provides awesome, framed views of the complex

It is quite a large temple and high up as well. Located close to the famous Ananda temple in Bagan. It is in a square shape. Climbing to the upper floors is no longer allowed. All the four directions has buddha images inside the temple. It forms part of the Bagan archeological zone, so foreigners will have to buy a ticket before entering the zone..
