Yangon: Hla Day

Up a winding wooden staircase above Sharkys and next to Rangoon Tea House, Hla Day is a vibrant treasure trove of beautiful Myanmar-made housewares, paper products, clothing, jewelry, gifts and more. It’s a non-profit institution, and all the products are crafted by local cooperatives, so you can buy confidently knowing that your purchases are benefiting the right people. The store stays open until 9:30 p.m. most nights, so it’s possible to stop in before or after dinner at Rangoon Tea House.
