Getting to Gwa entails quite a journey either 10 hours over rolling hills from Yangon or for the car sick people like me the easier way of flying to Thandwe and then 4 hours along a winding but not sickening coastal route. You also need a permit as it is in Rakhine State but that's pretty easy to obtain. Once there it's wonderful, Pure Burma.
The lively morning market in Gwa township last from 6am - 11am. Many small thatched stalls selling an array of fish, vegetables, and meat with the center of the market housing the Mohinga stalls. All around a pervasive smell of dried fish and fresh flowers.
