Myanmar is located in Southeast Asia and has a tropical climate. Travelling to Myanmar means traveling to traditional Asia. The country is nestled between neighbouring countries Thailand, Bangladesh, China, India and Laos. During its military regime, there was little to no tourism in Myanmar, however, in recent years this destination is becoming increasingly popular, and rightly so. Myanmar offers beautiful natural scenery. Think of vast lakes, white sandy beaches and spectacular limestone caves. Also, the country is known for its many temples and Buddhist shrines.
