Chiang Mai (Mizzima) – Burma’s military supremo Snr. Gen Than Shwe’s pampered grandson, Pho Lah Pyae, apparently had the time of his life, while participating in the revelry during this week’s Water Festival in Rangoon’s Innya Lake Street.

According to sources, Pho Lah Pyae would pay daily visits to the stage, which he hosted on the Innya Lake Street, opposite the University of Economics. The stage was heavily guarded by security officials.

Besides, his pandal would be provided with water half-an-hour before the other pandals.

A prominently Buddhist country, Burma between April 13 to 16, celebrates the Water Festival, while welcoming the New Year, which falls on April 17 this year. The Water festival is also held in Thailand and Laos.
