Exiting Myanmar vacation.
Myanmar vacation are exotic and different to any other vacation destination on this planet. A
Myanmar or Burma vacation is mainly focused on
cultural themes like
temples, pagodas,
monasteries and so on. Slowly Myanmar is emerging as a
vacation destination for beach vacation, adventure vacation
and
exploration vacation, aside of the usual
culture and pleasure trips, but if you rather prefer action and
nightlife on the beach better travel to
Patong Beach in nearby Thailand.
One of the best vacation trips is Myanmar
diving,
it starts in Phuket Thailand via a live aboard
scuba
diving trip with a yacht into the Andaman islands of the
Myeik Archipelago could be the trip of a lifetime. This is pure
Myanmar adventure travel, they opened
this area up only a couple of years ago and the last Europeans etc.
there were the British at colonial times. The ships of the British East
India Company also stopped there on the trip from
Penang Georgetown to Madras India.
Myanmar travel brings you to more than 2000
km coastline
with
beautiful beaches,
plus the
Myanmar Burma Andaman Sea
with hundreds of pristine
islands and
a lot of pretty scenes in the country give for sure a attractive
holiday destination. You can find holiday packages on this page also all inclusive vacation in
Myanmar Burma.

could be to a beach, cultural oriented, maybe adventure fun etc.

You
plan your holiday; you already
know where to go. But, perhaps try
something new for a change,
something for pleasure and something
for culture, an ideal combination.
We talk about Myanmar; we talk about
Myanmar beach and the ancient
Buddhist Pagoda City of Bagan. To
sum up your budget won’t make you
sweating.
In
relation what you get in exchange on
a Myanmar trip its
worth it and on to of it you can
have some real talks afterwards to
have been in a country, only very
few people, traveler and adventurer
have been visiting. Plus in
difference to the blab la what the
“western media” propaganda you will
be able to go anywhere you
like except some border areas at
Myanmar Thailand where insurgents
make trouble from time to time and some
military owned areas which are off limits in any country on
this planet, so it’s nothing
special. |

Pagoda City of Bagan |

|
Myanmar is for sure not a big name
destinations such as
the Bahamas, France or Bali
but the country can easily
match all the above
mentioned and other, it’s a
keeps secret almost nobody
know it. |
|
Myanmar is in a remote corner in
south east Asia, bordering the Indian
Ocean, the Himalayas, Thailand,
India, Laos, China and Bangladesh,
sound already exotic or ?
Myanmar is for sure not very
developed, but it’s exotic, very
safe, has a great culture, ancient
monuments, a great Buddhist religion
and very nice people.
Myanmar vacations are for sure
different but could be just your
dream vacation, either culture
vacation, beach vacation or
|

Myanmar Himalaya |
|
maybe island vacation in the
Mergui or Myeik Archipelago
in the Andaman Sea.
You
can do your travel either by a
Myanmar vacation package or go
on your own. If you want to do a
trip for one
or two weeks maybe and want to see
the most common and interesting top
destinations of Myanmar
better take a package tour. |
|
|
Here
you can find information on vacation
in Myanmar plus great videos and
dozens of pictures showing you a
real dream vacation destination.
You
can choose from Myanmar culture
vacation,
adventure
travel, scuba diving islands
vacations out of
Phuket
Thailand by life aboard.
Vacation packages for Myanmar
are available with many specialized
travel agencies. If you cant find
one
try this.
This is a Swiss operated
travel & tour company who bring what
they promise.
Exotic Myanmar tourism vacation
in a remote country can be all
inclusive vacation or individual
vacation but still all inclusive.
Travels vacation this days are very
much the same no matter where you go
but Myanmar Asia vacation are
defiantly different.
Just
book a vacation package
with the
above mentioned travel agent
maybe including a Myanmar river
cruise, a Myanmar beach vacation,
maybe a
Myanmar
adventure vacation, or
Myanmar culture vacation to have a
look at all this ancient monuments
and great
pagoda and
temples.
Exotic Myanmar beach vacation might
be just the right for you in a
corner of this planet where others
never have been before, but you can
get just the same luxury vacation
like in Thailand, Hawaii, Tahiti,
Fiji, just name it.
It’s probably the best to
visit Myanmar on a
vacation package tour.
If
you are out for Myanmar adventure,
rather soft |

adventure, do your vacation trip on
your own. Just look through our
website, there is a wealth of
information right here.
Buy a good map
and maybe just go to
Google Earth and check it out. Great
vacation wait for you, trust me.
Pls. don’t mix this up with
politics, vacation is one subject,
politics are a other and both have
nothing to do with each other. Every normal
citizen in Myanmar or Burma is
happy when you come because this
will bring them urgently need
substantial support in form of
money,
they already have enough problems
and money can help to come over
this.
Myanmar’s are political educated but
are not politicians at every minute.
Myanmar's need money to buy
food, to live and can get a better
life, now, not in 10 or 20 years,
they already suffer to much for too
many years to be victim of abstract
political gambling, by the influence
of the British colonialists with
disastrous |

of pictures.. |

results and the USA who pushed them
into WW2, Myanmar's had nothing to
do with WW2 before.
The
more tourists on their vacation
trips are coming, the faster and
better the situation will turn into
positive territory which will
finally the change for better.
Escorted vacation on your Myanmar
vacations travel could also be a
alternative to travel the country.
Go to Yangon, go to a travel agency,
hire a tour guide, male or female
and they will go with you. Escorted vacation in Myanmar is
probably the best way to travel and
it’s quite affordable. If you
consider to spend about US$ 120,-
per day for a car with a driver and
a tour guide you can get this
easily. You must not think about
them in terms of hotel and other
related, they will take care about
themselves.
Add
Myanmar hotel costs, lets say $
35,- for a good hotel anywhere in
the country, but be aware there are
many places with no hotels at all,
in particular if you are on a trip
in the northern mountains, they use
tents, do some camping in the
Himalayas plus maybe $ 10,- for your
food. Myanmar vacations are something
special. And,
very important, don't think your
Myanmar travel guide has
anything to do with the ruling
party and don't start to political
talks with him or her, they have
heard this hundred of times before
and most of the tour guides are not
very interested to do it once again.
They wont tell you..leave me alone
since they are nice people. |

Going
on vacation you can experience Myanmar hotels from
colonial times like the famous Candacraig Hotel at Pin Oo Lwin or
Maymyo pictured at right. There are
not only this old style
Myanmar hotels
plenty of new hotels are around at
the tourist spots in Myanmar, local
guesthouses and other accommodations
are available. Many small family
hotels can be booked in almost every
city, but don't expect that
everything is in the way you knoe it
from home or maybe from your
Thailand
travel, Myanmar is
different, more about
Myanmar
Thailand is her.
A
Myanmar trip could lead to your dream
vacation offering excellent beach vacation suitable
as family vacation. The
Myanmar
Andaman sea
is the place for exotic island vacation
in a tropical vacation environment.

There are
not many big and commercialized vacation resorts or Beach
resorts around in Myanmar, also no
nightlife like in
Thailand
but many people just like quiet
vacations and Myanmar is for sure the
right place for this. You will have a good time, great beach vacation
and marvelous outdoor adventure
vacation. Most of the beach
hotels are closed during monsoon times
since the weather is simply not
appropriate for excellent Myanmar beach
vacations.
Myanmar vacation are not cheap
vacation since they
are very much for the
individual traveler. There is no domestic
scuba diving
vacation, if you are addicted
to scuba duba and want to live your

you can expect.
A tropical vacation destination like Myanmar with the warm tropical waters of the Indian Ocean, endless beaches and the Andaman Sea just in front, hundreds of pristine islands and a rich cultural heritage over around 2000 years is the right stuff for your great vacation.
Maybe have a great
beach vacation on
Myanmar's west coast in
particular at Ngapali
and Ngwe Saung. Have a
Myanmar adventure
vacation by trekking
in the Myanmar
Himalayas. or exploring
the forgotten world of
the Mergui Archipelago
in Myanmar's south where
the Salon or Moken Sea
Gypsies still live on
their boats in their
tradition of hundred of
years. There are about 800
pristine islands
around and on most of
them never anyone placed
his feet on. |

Just enjoy a picture perfect vacation, Myanmar has it all, the majestic Himalaya mountains, cool rivers opening up into the great Irrawaddy or Ayeyarwady river, tropical rain forests and white to yellow beaches where the environment is still intact and you can watch the fisherman doing their job.
There is a great fauna and flora in Myanmar with exotic orchids and national parks in the north where nothing has changed since colonial times. The Myanmar pictures at the

The great Inle
Lake area
with the
huge
lake,
the
floating
gardens, the
lake monasteries
and the splendor
of a real natural
environ invites
to trekking in
the nearby Shan
hills where
the Pa-O people
live. Myanmar is
not a trendy
destinations,
it’s a serious
vacation
destination were
you really get
the special
touch.
Myanmar's
Inle Lake is
a micro cosmos
by itself, the
life goes on in
the house built
on piles and
stilts since
hundred of
years, just like
in Venice, but
its less
decadent than
Venice and they
wont charge you
US$ 20,- for 3
ice cream balls
like on the
Marcus Square.
This Italians
lost their
corrupt mind
long time ago.
Against
countries like
Italy and France
Myanmar is
refreshing and
much less
corrupt in the
everyday peoples
mind.
Enjoy the
life on your Myanmar
travel which
actually hasn’t
change since
colonial times,
the local night
life at Yangon
and Mandalay and
the excellent
restaurants of
the hotels and
beach resorts.
There are bars
and discos with
dozens of exotic
Myanmar girls
who are very
open-minded.
Go shopping
in one of the
most exiting
shopping mall in
Asia called
Bogyoke market,
where you wont
find all the
European luxury
stuff but great
native items.
This oriental
bazaar is
still the same
since colonial
times and they
have the real
Myanmar things
plus antiques,
not this
exchangeable
shopping mall
items you can
find anywhere
between Shanghai
and Jakarta.
There are exotic arts and
crafts based
on teak wood
carving,
precious, but low priced
jade, ruby,
lacquer ware as
well as locally
produced fruit
and vegetables
from oranges to
papayas and
flower markets orchids to
lilies, roses,
gladiolas and
plenty of
others.
When you are
on Myanmar
vacations
you must visit
Bogyoke Market
at Yangon the
premier non
tainted bazaar
in Asia with a
colorful indoor
and outdoor
market.
With exotic
Myanmar
restaurants
and also plenty
of other
restaurants like
Italian, French,
Korean, Thai,
Chinese and all
the varieties
from the
different tribes
its just the
right time to
enjoy.
Don’t listen
to
what all this so
called “western
media” tell you,
they have no
idea what they
are talking
about, they
haven’t been
there so they
only scream
negative
nonsense or take
selective texts
from the
opposition. Myanmar is a
very safe
country,
probably the
safest in Asia
and no person
either in
uniform or not
in uniform will
ever make any
problems to you
if you just
behave normal
and thing you
must go on a
crusade.
Trust me, I
stay, with
some
interruptions,
in Myanmar since
20
years now and
never
experienced any
problems from
anyone. The real problems are the
electricity cut
every day and
the very poor
infrastructure
but a tourist
wont be bothered
with it. |

A vacation to
Myanmar lets you
see beautiful
and very diverse
scenery,
a lush green
vegetation on
the mountains
of the North and
almost
everywhere else
in the country
with a rich
flora & fauna,
except the
central plains,
also called the
dry zone.
A Myanmar
beach vacation
could lead you
to one of the
golden beaches
of the more than
2000 km
coastline plus
exotic beaches
on the islands
of the Andaman
Sea, mostly in
the Mergui or
Myeik
Archipelago.
Around
the islands the
salon or sea
gypsies still
live in a way it
was done since
hundreds maybe
thousands of
years ago. Salon
live most of the
time on their
houseboats and
come ashore only
|
|
sometimes
during the
monsoon season.
A vacation in
this southern
Myanmar area is
real adventure
travel.
But keep
in mind
there
are no
accommodations
on the
islands
one need
to ask
permission
to stay
in one
of the
beach
houses
the
salon
and the
government
sometime
built.
You could try a
Myanmar camping
vacation on the
beach,
but if
you do
so camp
somewhere
where
people
are and
ask
permission
to stay
near
them
since
they
also
will
feel
some
kind of
.

Don’t just go on
a Myanmar vacation trip
in this area purely by your

you

since ages and
people might be
happy if they

|
Bagan, on the eastern
side of the Ayeyarwady - Irrawaddy
River, was long time
ago the capital of
Myanmar and is now the
top vacation destination
in Myanmar.
A
Myanmar vacation without
a visit to Bagan
actually is not
complete.
Even today
Bagan is dotted
with thousands of
ancient pagodas,
stupas, shrines,
ordination halls, temple
and monuments.
On your Myanmar
vacation
visit one of the
monasteries
and get ideas how the
monks and novices live.
Have a boat cruise
on
the famous
Ayeyarwady - Irrawaddy
River
-video is here-, or see
the ox carts moving
around the pagodas and
temples.
To Bagan by air from
Yangon, Mandalay or Heho (Taungyi) is around
one hour or less, Bagan
can also be reached by
road from
Yangon, a
distance of around 683
kilometers.
Buses make the trip in
about 16 hours,
adventurous traveler can
reduce the time by 2
hours by taking a car
since the roads are not
very good and the
traffic
neither you better don't
do it.
In any case a
holiday or vacation in
Bagan is something real
exceptional.
You can
also play a round golf
at the
Bagan Golf Resort,
visit one of the cottage
industry manufacturer of
exquisite
Myanmar lacquer ware
or have a drive to
Mt. Popa.
Bagan is the ideal
location for your
cultural Myanmar
vacation.
In general, vacation
in Myanmar are
different to any other
vacation destination in
this world. Myanmar is
also a
very safe country,
whatever the media tells
you, don't listen I am
living partly in Myanmar
for 20 years, I never
had ONE problem by any
means, be it crime be it
government or whatever.
Myanmar
could be the real dream
vacation
destination for you.
There is something for
everyone, it could be a
culture vacation,
visiting the incredible
culture and golden Myanmar
spots, like Bangan,
Mandalay, Mraunk U and
plenty of other Myanmar
tour destinations.
Maybe you like to
enjoy a somehow "Venice
of the East", this are Myanmar's floating
villages and gardens
on the Inle Lake in Shan
State, as you can
imagine now Myanmar
vacations have many
facet's. |

Beach Ngapali Myanmar |
- Scuba
diving vacation in Myanmar or Burma
included
in live aboard trips into the
emerald waters of the Andaman sea, a
part of the Indian ocean are some
very popular vacation targets.
But since there is no
infrastructure for scuba diving,
means no scuba diving supplies, tank
filling stations, tank rental, whether
at the beaches of the peninsular
nor on the islands its almost
impossible to do a diving trip from a
Myanmar base. There is no scuba supply
available, there are no dive
|
|
stores or similar. Almost all Myanmar
diving is done on liveaboard trips
mainly out of Phuket, There have been
some attempts to start Myanmar diving
trips in the country one
Myanmar scuba
diving operator is here.
The motor
yachts on a scuba trip usually come in
from
Phuket
with all scuba diving supplies and
diving equipments on board, crossing the
Myanmar Thailand
border at
Kawthaung
in
southern Myanmar
and proceeding on into the Mergui or
Myeik archipelago further north. To do
this book a Myanmar scuba diving
vacation in Phuket, Thailand, this makes the whole
quite expensive. The
Myeik-Mergui
Archipelago is off the southern West coast of Myanmar, comprising of about 800
tropical islands within the warm tropical waters of the Andaman
Sea. A excellent warm weather
all year around and sun for sure
between November and April.
Myanmar beaches at the islands
are sandy and sometimes dotted
with granite or limestone
boulders.
Around are some of the best
snorkeling and scuba diving
places on earth, just the
right environment for a scuba
diving vacation in Myanmar. But this type of a Myanmar
vacation trip its worth it,
its definitely the trip of a
lifetime, no yoking.
This Myanmar Archipelago
contains myriads of coral banks,
whale sharks, turtles, sting
rays and more, the ideal
environment for superb Myanmar superb
scuba diving vacation.
Andaman vacation diving is
something special, real diving
adventure is out there
within diving live aboard packages. Diving trips into the
Myanmar Andaman Sea are only
available as live aboard scuba.
The scuba cruise from Phuket
brings you into Myanmar waters.
All scuba dive gear is on board.
The area around in the
archipelago is also a
ideal place for some exploration
in the island jungle during
scuba diving tours into Myanmar.
There is plenty of scuba reef
diving and shark diving.
Wale sharks are commonly seen
and also sting rays, among
other big underwater game. |

Asia Plaza Hotel at Yangon, they are
budget hotels for about $ 30,- per

good furniture, bathtub, restaurant
etc. and those hotels are in the
very center of
Yangon. Doing so will reduce most last minute stress. It

Island Vacation in the Myanmar Andaman Sea
|
The Salon or
Moken also called Sea Gypsies are the people
of the Andaman Sea in Thailand and Myanmar
or Burma. Facts about the
Salon were first discovered in the
travel diary of a Frenchman
published in 1675.
In
Maurice Collis
"Siamese White" they were called
Silita. In 1891 census report of Kawthaung
Township, they were called Silone.
Many years
ago, they lived in Malay Peninsula and
now, on the islands of Myeik, Botepyin and
Kawthaung District. They are
called Besing by the Malay. Thias called
them Chao Talay or Chao Lay ( men of the sea
), Chao Nam ( men of the water ) and Chao Ko
( men of the island ).
From the end of British colonial times
until recent days no foreigners have been
allowed into the Myeik / Mergui archipelago,
the area off the Myanmar Tanintharyi /
Tennasserim coast. |

English names of the islands to native
names.
Go
hunting with the salon in the jungle of the
Andaman Sea Islands. A hunting group is
usually comprised of five men and five dogs
and you could be the sixth person. Salon
don't use bows and arrows or cross-bows or
arms. They use only harpoons. While the dogs
are attacking the wild boar, deer, barking
deer or monitor lizard etc, the salon
hunters harpoon
the vulnerable spot of the prey and
the dogs are of great help. When they got
their prey, they offer the Nat
spirit first and foremost at a big
tree in the forest, with the heart
of the prey as a gift. Hunting dogs
share some intestines of the prey. |

Edible bird nests can be found on
several island
and they are closely guarded by the
guys who bought the license to
harvest them from the government.
This edible bird nests are glued
together from the vomit of the swift
lets. These birds live in their
nests in the inmost caves of the
rocks. Salon hunt for edible
bird-nests during the months of January
to May, at the risk of their lives.The
birds nest are sold mainly to Hong
Kong and Singapore since the
Chinese
like
them, they think they do it better,
you know what, after eating them.
Chinese pay thousands of dollars for
this edible bird nests.
There
is fish, squid, mollusk,
oyster, coral, ambergris, and
tortoise eggs for hunting and
eating, the
turtle eggs are only rarely hunted
this days. Salon search for honey in
the forest of the island. Women also
do their jobs such as collecting
mollusk and weaving mats. The
islands in the Mergui or Myeik
archipelago are a extremely remote
area on this planet and that is one
of the reason to make them
interesting as a real exotic
vacation destination. There are no
vacation resorts only some beach
huts made from wood and palm leaves
and on the evening the fishes and
other seafood is grilled at the
beach grill, sounds like romantic
vacation, yes it is. Its only
difficult to go there.
You could start this exotic
vacation trip by a flight from
Yangon to Mergui or Myeik, have your
vacation, after use the regular ship
down to Kawthaung and enter Thailand
via Ranong from there Phuket is only
300 km to the south and Bangkok by
road travel 600 km to the north.
