Foreigners must pay 10000 kyat to enter and there is also a small camera fee if you wish to take photos. Because of it’s massive size, a virtual tour or 360 degree photography is a perfect way to capture the buddha and the atmosphere in the pavilion.

I’ve also added sound I recorded at the spot where I captured the virtual tour which adds another dimension to the experience.
