Thongs (Flip-Flops) are the standard footwear in Myanmar and many other Asian countries. They are very comfortable and are perfect for use outside or around the house. Over the years they have become very popular in the West as a cheap and affordable item of footwear especially around the house as the thong by its very nature ensures that the foot doesn't harbour germs as in the standard slipper.

Our traditional lacquer thongs are made in Mandalay which, together with the surrounding areas is the main craft centre of Myanmar.

MANDALAY - by Rudyard Kipling..........By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookin' lazy at the sea, There's a Burma girl a-settin', and I know she thinks o' me; For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the Temple-bells they say: "Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay!" Come you back to Mandalay, Where the old Flotilla lay: Can't you 'ear their paddles chunkin' from Rangoon to Mandalay? On the road to Mandalay, Where the flyin' fishes play, An' the dawn comes up like thunder outer China 'crost the Bay!
