Probably one of the weirdest things I have seen in Myanmar, the snake pagoda houses three fat pythons who are worshipped as sacred animals.
As I took off my shoes and walked into the pagoda, I did not notice anything special compared to other pagodas. There were donation boxes, people sitting on the floor to pray, kids running around, and of course the necessary amount of Buddha and other statues. But when I then approached the main Buddha image and walked past a small crowd, I saw them lying curled up next to the Buddha. Two giant pythons, resting and seemingly lazy, with money on their skin. You could stroke them, and hear them breathe.
