Incredible photographs from over a century ago in British occupied Burma.
The remarkable images, taken by German photographer Adolphe Philip Klier in around 1900, give a fascinating insight into Burma and how its people lived at the turn of the 19th Century.
Blessed with panoramic views and steeped in Karen lore, Thandaung Gyi and its grassroots approach to tourism offer a model for other communities emerging from conflict.
Tourists from Italy, Spain, Germany, Russia, Switzerland and Australia will be given visa on arrival starting on October 1st!
The day the first train pulled out of Yangon Central Station
May 1, 1877 saw the launch of Myanmar’s first railway line creating a better strategic connection with British India, European markets and unconquered parts of the country.
"Starting two months ago, they have taken over the trees and made them their own. This is the Girl-Led Placemaking Area, a city space designed by girls for girls."
It is strange to see urban space with mango, coconut, fruits and other trees in an otherwise concrete township. Eight teenage girls are running among the trees taping up posters. On each one, a bold design. There are not advertisements. Only representations of what the authors like. That is their wa...
There are no rides or performances for visitors at an award-winning elephant care camp in the Shan hills where the animals’ health is the top priority.
"For thousands of years, people in Myanmar have been using thanaka to protect and care for their skin. But this ancient beauty habit is changing as the country opens up and modern make-up has become more available."
People in Myanmar have been using thanaka on their faces for generations, but habits are changing.
A fascinating exposé on the complexities of Yangon's famous Chinatown and some of the people who live there.
After the anti-Chinese riots in the 1960s and years of discrimination, Chinese immigrants are now celebrating their identity and heritage through food. Chinatown’s food evolution illustrates the changing times of the country.
A wonderful and well-captured photo-essay of Myanmar's exotic, southern coast.
In this first edition of The Irrawaddy’s destination guide series we visit the deep south, the seaside scenes of Myanmar’s lower leg of Tanintharyi Region, Mon and Karen states.
The 6th installment of Wild Waters: The Blue Pond is "one of those places where you can see the very best of Myanmar in a microcosm: it’s harmonious, community-orientated, family-focused and fun. Tellingly, the pond is consistently kept trash-free. It’s clearly a source of local pride and quite rightly, too."
We venture into Kayin State to clamber down mountain streams, discover deserted waterfalls and enjoy one of the best wild swims in Myanmar.
TRAVEL WARNING: Due to an outbreak of armed conflict in the area, all but essential travel to Mrauk-U should be avoided.
Our Mrauk U page will be updated as soon as the situation changes: https://www.go-myanmar.com/mrauk-u-Mrauk-oo
Young people in Yangon, Myanmar demanding serious and immediate action on climate change ✌️
"Yet in the narrow triangle that tapers to the country’s southern tip, there are dreamy landscapes of karst mountains and caves, along with deserted Andaman Sea golden-sand beaches, and historic towns and traditional processing settlements that have changed little since Kipling visited Burma a century ago."
The recent opening up of southern Myanmar means intrepid travelers can now venture south, where quaint trading towns are untouched by tourism and sandy beaches are local secrets, as Keith Lyons discovers. For most visitors to Myanmar, a day or overnight trip to Kyaiktyo, better known as Golden Rock,...
"Dat Taw Gyaint...trickling rocky slides that lead to secluded natural pools, that enormous main fall—the tumbling waters pummeling whoever happens to be paddling beneath them. All foregrounded by a golden stupa perched besides the rocks."
One of Myanmar’s most beloved swimming holes, I thought I’d seen everything that Dat Taw Gyaint had to offer: trickling rocky slides that lead to secluded natural pools, that enormous main fall—the tumbling waters pummelling whoever happens to be paddling beneath them. All foregrounded by a go...
To cut down on her carbon footprint, a traveler ventures overland from Chiang Mai, Thailand through Myanmar to Manipur, India. Great blog on responsible travel and overland adventure!

🎥 by Sebastian Bretz, https://www.facebook.com/sebastian.bretz.1
It was an unique experience to travel in this adventurous and natural country. Kind people, stunning nature, ancient temple - there is so much to discover! D...
"The view from the Kyauk Pyat Thut Pagoda—rolling green mountains pockmarked by patches of exposed red soil of active gems mines and wooden houses teetering on the slopes—is a great prelude to Myanmar’s Rubyland."
Mogok is an emerging destination for travelers in Myanmar looking for a glimpse of the legendary ruby trade in a town complimented by impressive vistas and a chilly climate.
OH 🐟 YES 🍸THEY 🇲🇲 DID
Happy Friday 😎
First they came for lahpet thote (not once, not twice, but three times), then they came after Ohno Khao Swe, and now … now, they — those F&B hipsters who can’t stop, won’t stop with their food Frankensteins — have turned Mohinga into a cocktail. For those who may be unfamiliar with Mohinga...
Myanmar’s first Elephant Museum will open in Yangon on March 3—World Wildlife Day—to raise awareness of the nature and behavior of elephants and the threats they face today, as well as the measures being taken to protect them 🐘
Located in the Yangon Zoological Gardens, the facility will educate the public about the threats facing pachyderms, and celebrate Myanmar people’s ancient relationship with the species.
The story of Myanmar's first and only craft brewery:
"The new flavours include Nagarni gala, which is made from dragon fruit; beers made from Myanmar tea leaves; and Myanmar toddy-palm wine."
After a successful debut in Yangon in 2016, Burbrit Co, Myanmar’s first craft beer maker, is now expanding the variety of beers in its stable to cater to local taste buds with the aim of turning a profit within the next five years, U Maung Zaw, one of the company’s four directors, said in an int...
If you like horseback riding, Inle Lake and/ or sustainability, the Inle Horse Club is absolutely for you!
“We need to change our generation to be more educated and more responsible. We are a business role model in Shan State,” said Swe Swe Lwin, who is also proud of the club’s “one customer, one horse, one tree” plan."
An enterprising woman turns a life-long passion for horses into an award-winning business on the shore of Inle Lake.
A stunning video chronicling Myanmar's beauty, tranquility and magic.

"Travelling by canoe through Pauk Par village past buildings perched on stilts is a pleasant, soothing experience. There’s a kindergarten filled with children’s laughter, and further out in the lake, the golden Phaung Daw Oo pagoda. Travellers can also be paddled to another of Myo Min Zaw’s innovations.
With permission from the authorities, he has built a floating post office at which tourists can send postcards. He is also building a museum devoted to the various types of fishing nets used in the lake so that visitors can develop an appreciation of the importance of fishing in Intha culture."
Frontier meets enterprising tourist guide Myo Min Zaw, who went to Italy for professional development and returned with an altruistic idea.
