Mandalay Palace

After forty years, Myanmar is now opening up to the world. What once was a secondary destination for our travelers is often now a first choice for those eager to get off the beaten path and experience a completely unspoiled country in this well-traveled region. Only a one-hour from bangkok, this is one of the last travel destinations still largely undiscovered by mass tourism and provides a spectacular glimpse of how life was for much of Asia decades ago.

Visitors are uniformly surprised by the wonderful scenery and sights and especially by the friendliness and warmth of the Myanmar people. As a primarily Buddhist country, there are many pagodas, (thousands in fact), and also many tranquil monasteries, but there is much to see beyond these religious centers, though they are the central core of life in Myanmar. Sightseeing is filled with interesting villages, craft shops, historical old colonial buildings from the British period, large rivers, scenic farm lands, vast hardwood forests, colorful markets, pristine beaches,interesting ethnic groups and much more. In addition the infrastructure is wonderfully developed for such a new destination.

When to come? Peak season is October though March, but Myanmar can be enjoyed nearly year round. Let us plan your trip to this remarkably untouched place during this special window.
