Although Myanmar is just next to Thailand and I knew there were a lot to see in the country, I somehow didn’t visit Myanmar (except for some daytrips to the border) until I almost visited all the Southeast Asian countries. This was partially because there was no way to enter the main sites in Myanmar from Thailand overland and I was hoping it would be one soon. The recent political developments in both Myanmar and Thailand proved it’s just a dream. So I booked the air tickets and visited this neighbor during the New Year break.
