-- Our Myanmar travel culture and business country guide
with great photo, panorama pictures and videos show you the country as it is today and as it was in the past.

Myanmar or Burma is a great country with a big ethnic and cultural diversity, just have a look into our Myanmar books in the e-book section for big pictures. In our Myanmar e-books you will see plenty of great pictures in full size. We also offer plenty of Myanmar or Burmese videos in the video section.

The people are dedicated to Buddhism. Myanmar Buddhism is visible everywhere you travel in form of Pagodas. Pagodas are a Myanmar classic since more than 2000 years. Myanmar and the rest of the world sometimes don't understand each other, but this has political reasons.

If you travel to the country today you will still find the same old Myanmar picture as it was before colonial times, not much has changed, some similarities from colonial times are still with Penang Georgetown in Malaysia.

On a travel tour the main focus is usually on Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan and Inle Lake. This places are visited by almost everyone who come to Myanmar or Burma for travel and tourism. Within your Myanmar travel tour you will stay in excellent hotels at least at the major tourist destinations like Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan, Inle lake, Ngwe Saung Beach, Chaungtha Beach and Ngapali Beach. In our website you will also find some Myanmar Maps reflecting Myanmar or Burma today.

Internet is available in all bigger hotels but the speed is a little bit low. Myanmar travel opens spectacular panoramas over the paddy fields in the Ayeyarwady or Irrawaddy delta and elsewhere. You will see the great pagodas and temples of Bagan in the dry zone of Myanmar and the spiritual capital of Myanmar which is Mandalay in the center of Myanmar.

Here is more about in Myanmar. Some time ago
the capital has been moved from Yangon to Naypyidaw, they are currently - 2009- building a good road between the old -Yangon- and the new capital -Naypyidaw.

-To visit Myanmar is very easy,

 first step is a Myanmar visa which is very easy to obtain, just go to the Myanmar embassy at Pun Road Bangkok, a branch road of Silom road just where the huge Hindu Temple is. Apply for the Myanmar tourist visa in the morning 9-12 am and you can pick up the visa the same day in the afternoon after 3 pm.

You have 2 possibilities to tour Myanmar or Burma. One is to make all the travel arrangements already outside Myanmar via the internet or just take a flight to Yangon and make your travel tour via a local tour operator, they will handle everything with 2 or 3 days. During that time you can explore the old capital which is Yangon or Rangoon.

Travel to Yangon is your entry for your travel. Yangon is not the capital of Myanmar anymore, now the capital of Myanmar is Naypyidaw is here: a former remote village in central east Myanmar.

But Yangon and Mandalay are still the main centers of Myanmar. Without travel to Mandalay a Myanmar travel tour would be missing something.

--Geography - Myanmar or Burma is the largest country in

Southeast Asia. Myanmar runs some 2090 km (1300 miles) north and south, from the lofty mountains of Tibet to the rolling tropical waters of the Indian ocean. Breadth wise, Myanmar draws out 925 km (575 miles) from the Naaf river on the Bangladesh border, to the Mekong river that separates Myanmar from Laos.

A horseshoe of hill-offshoots from the Tibetan Himalayas forms the strong natural frontier of Myanmar
with Bangladesh and India in the west, with China in the north and northeast, and with Laos and Thailand in the east and southeast.

The country has one attraction no other south east Asian country has and this is snow and high mountains with a great Himalayan flora and fauna, just now

discovered as a great. The right Myanmar travel agent for this is Myanmar Explore.

Snow-capped Hkakaborazi (5885 meters or 19296 ft.), the highest peak in Myanmar and South East Asia, lies in Naungmong township, Kachin State, at the northern most tip of the country. Just a few miles to the south of the tip, there is the famous  Diphu Pass, the strategic point where the three borders of China, India and Myanmar meet.

Mountain streams from these Himalaya slopes flow south to make the legendary twin-rivulets Meikha and Malikha, which later  conjoin (just above the Kachin capital Myitkyina) to form the famous river Ayeyarwady - Irrawaddy  in Myanmar - Burma.

The Myanmar Himalayas mountain streams offer the perfect environment for adventure tours/ trekking. Myanmar's part of the famous Himalayan are still real genuine since no foreigners until about 7 years ago have been there, with the exception of some British adventurers during colonial times.

It is necessary to mention that it is not that travel to the Myanmar Himalayas was not allowed. It was not possible because there was simply no infrastructure for travel in the Myanmar Himalayas.

During colonial times the British implemented a basic infrastructure for travel in Myanmar Burma for administrative and military purpose, but when the British vanished from Myanmar also the travel infrastructure did. There have been several excellent books from Mr. Kingdon - Ward, a British botanist and others published in the 194x ties on travel the Myanmar Himalayas, but all are not available anymore.

Myanmar Himalayas are for the people who have been everywhere, seen

--Rivers- The Ayeyarwady or Irrawaddy valley constitutes Myanmar proper.

Running mostly from north to south, three mountain systems in are cut through.- the Western or Rakhine Yoma, the Bago Yoma and the Shan Plateau - divide three parallel river valleys, the Ayeyarwady or Irrawaddy, the Sittaung and the Thanlwin.

The great Ayeyarwaddy or Irrawaddy river flows down three different climatic region of MyanmarBurma: the wooded Kachin heights in the temperate north, the dry belt that starts from the old capital Mandalay to the ancient Pyu capital Pyi (Prome), and lastly the vast flatness of the Ayeyarwaddy or Irrawaddy river delta. 

These river valleys, with their tributaries and distributaries, all help to form the famous granaries of Myanmar, ancient and modern. more on Myanmar rivers.

At one time the paddy fields of Kyaukse and Minbu had fed old Bagan, Innwa (Ava), Shwebo and Mandalay in old Myanmar - Burma. Nowadays, Bago / Pegu, Hinthada, Pathein and Myaungmya fields in the delta region are the top producers in Myanmar - Burma.

On the delta’s eastern flank in Myanmar - Burma and the southern extremity of  the deep forested Bago Yoma stands Yangon, the largest city in Myanmar and the main port of the country.

The total area of Myanmar - Burma covers 676, 577 sq. km (261,789 sq. miles), about the size of Great Britain and France combined together,


--One outstanding travel attraction is Myanmar adventure travel
,

it doesn't take to much effort since it is possible to reach almost any place in Myanmar by Myanmar airlines plus train, bus and local taxis.

The premier travel destination in Myanmar is Bagan, you wont hardly find another travel destination on the planet with such great panoramas and cultural background.

Myanmar Bagan is one of the richest archaeological sites in Asia with about 2200 monuments still standing and some 1000 in ruins, there were originally about 4500.

As many as 600 Myanmar Bagan monuments disappeared over time into the Ayeyarwady - Irrawaddy river during the

Don't listen to the "western media" who tells you cant go here and there and everywhere, this is pure nonsense of people who don't know what they talk about.

Just look through this Myanmar website, all the places I went on my own over almost 20 years now, never ever anyone told me I cant go to a certain place, if there where problems on travel in Myanmar it was always in terms of the almost non existing infrastructure.

What always get manipulated in the "western media" is that when a journalist travel to Myanmar he or she is more or less on working and for working in a other country one need a special visa, this is granted or not.

This is the same in any other country in this world including USA, Europe etc. and I know that even the USA wont grant a visa to a German journalist when he or she try to make a certain investigation, that means all the blame to Myanmar authorities just doing the same like anyone elsewhere is bad and manipulated "western" propaganda. Some time ago I followed a case at LA Int. Airport where the US immigration detained a German journalist since she came in on a tourist travel visa, but the US immigration didn't believe her and were sure she came on writing about something related to the US. They detained her and put her into the next airplane back to Germany. The source for this is the News Magazine, der Spiegel, the biggest in Europe. Now nobody is interest in this, but when the Myanmar authorities just do the same, the whole "western media" screams, especially the US guys and the British colonial masters of the past. A bunch of hypocrites, nothing else.

--Myanmar has great People of about 130 different ethnic groups. A country is among other what the people present and that means Myanmar is a great country because it has great people.

Don't think Myanmar or Burmese people live behind the mountain, because they live in a very isolated environment have a look here. There are more than 130 different ethnic groups in Myanmar or Burma, we will mention the  main groups her, as there are the Burmese, the Shan, the Mon or Talaing.

Plus the Myanmar Karen (there are also Thai Karen), the Chin, the Kachin, the Salon and plenty more. About other Myanmar people ethnic groups pls. have a look through the website. Here you also can find the great Myanmar photo.

Of these Myanmar people the Burmese are the most numerous. It is the Burmese idiosyncrasy that gives to Myanmar its fascination and its charm.

Of the other Myanmar people ethnic groups the smallest and most backward are the Salon, who inhabit the islands off the southern coast, mainly in the Mergui or Myeik archipelago, further south in Thailand they are called Moken.

They are probably the oldest inhabitants from southern Myanmar all the way down to the Tarutao Islands on the border between Thailand and Malaysia..

More on Myanmar or Burmese people is here.
Myanmar people came in by three waves of immigration from the north. Of these the earliest is represented by the Mon or Talaing, who also stretched all the way down to present day Phuket Island in southern Thailand, the right extension to your Myanmar vacations.

The second and third wave of Myanmar people were the Burmese and the Shan.
The Karen stand in a category
somewhat apart.

The Kachin are of the same Myanmar people ethnic group as the Burmese, but their descent into Burma came later.

The real problem of the Myanmar or Burmese people are the former colonialists, the British who suppressed any development of the country unless it would serve their colonial purpose. Before the Brits came, Myanmar was about on the same level as Japan under the Meiji dynasty of the same time.

After the Brits did their bad colonial job, it didn't end there, they exiled to India the Myanmar or Burmese king who was the integration figure for several hundreds years, the result was that Burma somehow fell apart, on top of it the Brits manipulated the Karen and others to stand up against the Burmese, to feed their colonial purpose, like the old Romans did, divide and conquer.

If this was not already enough, the Brits and USA  brought the 2. world war into Myanmar together with the Japanese and Chinese, now the helter skelter was perfect.

Today this European and US warmonger scream against the Myanmar government because they give a damn what the European and US are telling, the present Myanmar government learned the very bad lesson from the past. The Brits and US buttheads never learned anything as everyone can see in the Iraq. This is a very short historical monologue, more on Myanmar golden Myanmar is here.

Myanmar also has a great exotic flora and fauna with beautiful flowers, lush tropical jungle and other.

One of the most attractive flowers are orchids. Myanmar orchids are sold at many orchid nurseries but they are not as sophisticated raised and shown as Thai orchids.
