Our country, Myanmar is struggling to achieve economic and political stability due to civil unrest and armed conflict, so travel restricted outside major cities and Military checkpoints on road are common. That’s why we would recommend travelling by flight only between tourist destinations. No Train, No Express Bus, No Cruise, and No road trip for the 2023 selling period.
In parts of Chin, Kachin, Kayah, Kayin, Rakhine, Shan, Sagaing, Magway, Mon state & Tanintharyi region – Dawei, Laung Lone, Thayet Chaung, and Myanmar’s Boarder areas, tourists must avoid those regions where civil unrest and armed conflict occur and the situations may change at any time.
Permission from local authorities is required to visit certain areas because Military checkpoints on roads are common.
