High biddings for Thingyan pandal permit auction
Sis permits for the construction of pandals for next month’s Thingyan festival around the Mandalay palace moat were auctioned by Mandalay City Development Committee for a total of over K236 million, with one fetching as high as K54 million, said committee member U Kyaw Zaw Aung. Rules were also issued for the pandals, but the prices of tickets for water playing at the pandals have yet to be fixed, he said. The auction of eight permits for pandals on 66th Street to the eastern side of the palace moat started on March 23.
