Pilgrims praying to Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda also known as the Golden Rock Pagoda.
Heat resistant floor tiles will be used to replace marbles sheets on the platform of Kyaikhtiyo Pagoda during the closing season of pilgrimage.
The cost of replacing new floor tiles will be incurred by pagoda funds, supporting fund of the Mon government and donations.
Estimation of costs will be calculated by making surveys to implement this project.
The works of fitting heat resistant tiles will be carried out in the closing season of pilgrimage to avoid inconvenience to the visitors.
“We are going to use heat resistant tiles instead of marbles tiles by the suggestion of the travellers.
Pilgrims can also visit the pagoda platform with no fear of the absorbed heat”, said a trustee from the Kyaikhtiyo pagoda.
Visitors to Kyaikhtiyo pagoda are currently increasing and most of the foreign visitors are from Thailand.
