In the early 11rd Century, much earlier than the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, King Anawrahta unified the country and founded the First Myanmar Empire.It was in essence the Bagan Empire which covered areas of the present-day Myanmar and the entire Menam valley in Thailand and lasted two Centuries.

As one of the richest archaeoligical sites in Asia, it is a sprawling cultural treasure trove, majestic and awe-inspiring. Legend puts the number of edifices at around four million, but that would be too much of an exaggeration. Four thousand would be a moderate estimate, or 2,000 more realistic, the number that is being restored in their original style and grandeur.

To much the ancient cultural wealth, devotees have lavished funds to prevent the ruins from vanishing, and be it sunrise, or sunset over the Ayeyawady, Bagan offers the ultimate. A modern touch is added by the numerous inns and hotels, and ' Ruby True ' is no exception, for it lends individuality with all modern conveniences to satiate even the most fastidious, yet with a moderate price tagged for money's worth. You'll be surprised how much we care for our guests!
