意思
Capturing an image with a camera.
文化背景
When taking photos at pagodas, ensure you are dressed modestly (shoulders and knees covered). Never point your feet towards a Buddha statue while posing for a photo. Like many Asian countries, the 'peace' or 'V' sign is the most common pose for photos in Myanmar, especially among young people. Locals often post photos of their donations or religious visits to Facebook to allow others to say 'Sadu' (Well done) and share in the merit. It is considered polite to ask an elder's permission before taking their photo. A slight bow of the head while asking is appreciated.
The 'Pay Par' Rule
Whenever you ask someone to take a photo, always use 'yaik pay par'. Without 'pay', it sounds like a command.
Sacred Spaces
Some inner chambers of temples forbid photography. Look for a camera icon with a red slash.

Burmese people are very friendly. If you take a photo of someone, showing them the result on the screen is a great way to build rapport.
