Tips for Visiting Myanmar (Burma) Safely
Myanmar has been in the news lately, and not all of it good. While the country has been heading toward a more democratic government, it has also come under fire for ethnic fighting in the outer provinces, which remain out of reach for tourists. There is much worth seeing and doing in Myanmar, but as travelers I think we owe it to the countries we visit to spend wisely, travel safely and try to learn as much as possible while we are there.
Leave that tank top in your suitcase
Eat curries at lunchtime and join locals in grabbing mohinga soup for breakfast on the street
Remember that your shoes come off in houses and temples, and that you ought to never touch anyone on their head
Stock up on any medication you might need before visiting
Don’t do an oxcart tour in Bagan – opt for your own bicycle (but bring band-aids!)
Be aware that there is a considerable amount of ethnic fighting going on, so it is important to learn about the history of the country before you go.
Bring extra US Dollars (new, unworn, unbent) as Myanmar does not have working ATMs
