Yin Myo Su (Burmese: ယဉ်မျိုးစု; born 1972), also known as Misuu, is a Burmese businesswoman and cultural promoter.[1] She founded the Inthar Heritage House and is the managing director of the Inle Princess Resort in Shan State and the Mrauk-U Princess Resort in Rakhine State.[2] The Inthar Heritage House is a traditional building dedicated to promoting Inthar culture and heritage.[3][4]
Through her attempts to preserve local ethnic Intha traditions and the natural environment of Inle Lake, she has been called the "Lady of the Lake". She has played a significant role in reintroducing the Burmese cat – a breed believed to have originated on the Thai-Myanmar border – to Myanmar but has since transformed into a foundation for preserving Inle Lake's nature and culture.[5][6][7]
