Over half of the country is covered by thick tropical forests, beautifully golden pagodas and preserved temples fill the countryside.Here some quick guide about Myanmar we suggest:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Myanmar attractions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Yangon: Shwedagon Pagoda and Shwemokhtaw Paya (Pathein)<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">South-east: Temples around Mawlamyine, caves with Buddhist art almost untouched and the Golden Rock at Mt Kyaiktiyo.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Bagan and Central: The temples of Bagan, the Nat shrine at Mt Popa, Shwesandaw Pagoda (Taungoo and Pyay) and Shwemyetman Pagoda (Shwedaung).<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">East: The mountains around Kalaw and the serenity of Inle Lake, with the unique leg-paddlers, make this area amazing for outdoor activities. It\u2019s also the region to taste authentic Shan food.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mandalay and Around:\u00a0 The Royal Palace in Mandalay and the many craft and antique shops. It\u2019s particularly interesting to see the gold pounder workshops. + + Don\u2019t miss U Bein teak bridge in Amarapura and teak monastery in Inwa.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">North: Trekking to tribal villages in the hills. There are almost no foreigners here. Also try traveling the local way in a public boat down the Ayeyarwady River.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">West: Beautiful white sand beaches lined with palm trees. Ngapali, Ngwe Saung and Chaung Tha are the most well-known beach destinations. Don\u2019t miss the amazing sunsets over the Bay of Bengal.

Independent travel agencies and guesthouses can help you. Journeys usually take longer than you\u2019d think because the bad quality of the roads.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The best time to visit Myanmar is between November and February. From March to May it\u2019s really hot and from the end of May the rainy season starts and lasts until October.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Don\u2019t forget travel insurance. I like WorldNomads, the insurance company recommended by Lonely Planet, Rough Guides and National Geographic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Dos and Don\u2019ts:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Remove shoes and dress respectfully (no shorts, short skirts or exposed shoulders) on entering a Buddhist site. <a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/people-Myanmar.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-628 alignright\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/people-Myanmar.jpg\" alt=\"people Myanmar\" width=\"329\" height=\"209\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nMonks and nuns that you will see in the streets should not be touched.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t touch somebody on the head (including a child)<br \/>\nCouples should avoid public displays of affection.<\/li>\n<li>Before coming inside a house take off your shoes.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Don\u2019t point your feet at anyone or anything and apologise if you brush someone with your foot.<\/li>\n<li>Ask before photographing anyone. Check responsible photography tips.<\/li>\n<li>Shake hands or pass money with your right hand, with left hand holding up your right arm.<\/li>\n<li>Eat from the spoon and hold a fork in the left hand to push food onto the spoon.<\/li>\n<li>Talk to locals and be nice to them. They want to know and are curious about life outside Myanmar.<\/li>\n<li>Don\u2019t speak politics with locals unless they start the subject first.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_88 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/myanmar-quick-guide.html\/#Conclusion\" >Conclusion<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-4' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-4'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/blog\/myanmar-quick-guide.html\/#Contact_Us\" >Contact Us:<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/\">Lux Travel DMC<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Vietnam\u2019s first luxury tour operator since 2005 offering bespoke holiday within\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/destinations\/vietnam\">Vietnam<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/destinations\/laos\">Laos<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/destinations\/cambodia\">Cambodia<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/destinations\/myanmar\">Myanmar<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/luxtraveldmc.com\/destinations\/thailand\">Thailand<\/a>.\u00a0 Plan your own tour packages and expect the best of luxury services from the most reputed travel agency in the region.<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Contact_Us\"><\/span>Contact Us:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Address No.456 Lac Long Quan Street, Tay Ho District, Hanoi, Vietnam<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Phone: (+84)-4-3927-4120<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Email:\u00a0sales@luxtraveldmc.com<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hotline: +84-986-980-060<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Myanmar is a delightful country, where eternal landscapes and ancient civilizations fill its vast land.
