I
plan to visit Myanmar this year. As traveling in this country, which emerged
from decades of isolation just recently, is a bit troublesome, I would like to
look for a few partners to share the burden. If you are interested please
contact me.
A bit of background information
Myanmar
has the so-called ‘Big 4’ destinations, namely Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan and Inle
Lake. Yangon is in Southern Myanmar, while the rest are in the Central Region. Visiting all four of them would take more than a week. Air Asia flies to Yangon only.
Myanmar is largely a 'cash only' economy, with very limited use for credit cards. Advanced booking of domestic travel must be done through local agents. All foreign visitors need visa to enter the country.
My initial plan is to go there in June, and will spend most of the time in Yangon. Duration is 4 or 5 days. However, if I can find travel companions, I may decide to visit more places...
P/S This will be a budget trip.

Going there is also in my bucket list. I am going broke soon. I will be visiting Singapore, Bangkok, Anhui and Shanghai within 3 months.
ReplyDeleteI like the Myanmar workers here as they are mostly polite and hardworking. They told me to visit their country which everything is cheap and nice!
Oh going to Myanmar? Interesting! Hmmm, shall I go? : )
ReplyDeleteA friend visited Yangon two CNYs ago with her family and they enjoyed themselves.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, KS!
