Myanmar
Tourism infrastructures are still under way. Many parts of the country are still off-limits to the travelers for security reasons or geographical remoteness, bad road infrastructure and accommodation issues - or all of the above. People, culture and traditions are still authentic. We don't see much high rise buildings or many signs of modernization in Myanmar. But it is moving toward the democratization and with increasing foreign investment, new road construction, new airports, new hotels, and such wonderments as ATMs, WiFi, and interesting food.
Travel to Myanmar, where thousands of ancient pagoda and stupa temples rise of out the plains, holy men and commoners dress in sarong like longyi, women and children paint their faces with the paste from the sandalwood root, and authentic floating village life exists in the waters of the lake. Explore Myanmar today to experience another time while it still exists.
