50 pictures of Myanmar (Burma) that will make you decide where to go for your next holiday
I don’t know if it was the people I met there, or the places I’ve been, or my positive attitude towards this country, but the truth is that Myanmar made me leave a piece of my heart among its borders.
With these pictures I’ll try to show what Myanmar has meant to me these last 50 days of travelling here 🙂
Myanmar is simply, incredible
It’s beaches
It’s mountains
It’s waterfalls
It’s rivers
It’s rice fields
But Myanmar is simple charming streets too
Myanmar is pagodas
Many and different pagodas
Some of them impossible
Myanmar is thanaka
Myanmar is tradition
It’s craftwork
But it doesn’t anchor to the past and looks to the future
Myanmar is progress
Although due to some disgraceful ones, it’s excess too
Myanmar is faith
Myanmar is untameable
Although it might be fragile
Myanmar is a continuous challenge
It’s wandering in search of its hidden wonders
But there’s always a reward 🙂
Myanmar is meditation
Myanmar is continuous inspiration
Myanmar is colours
Myanmar is new flavours
Myanmar is spicy, but sweet at the same time 🙂
Myanmar is generosity
Myanmar is a sunset
Another one
And another one
It’s a sunrise too
Myanmar is innocence, curiosity and shyness
Myanmar is young
Myanmar is its people
Myanmar is amazing
And already, part of me.
But no matters how many pictures and words I write, the brilliance of this country can’t be understood without living it. Those who have been there, will understand and those who haven’t, I hope you have the chance to understand it soon.
I can’t forget either some of the great people I met in the trip and have contributed to this article with some of their pictures. Special thanks to: Anthony Kao, my two favourite German girls and my Polish friend. Thanks so much guys 😉
And that’s all from me! If you liked the article, make sure that other people have the chance to see a little bit more of this amazing country by sharing it with them!
By the way! Don’t miss “Diary of Myanmar” with more pictures and tales about the journey and SIGN UP down HERE to take part in a really really special draw, more details soon 😉
If this is the start of the coming Myanmar Diaries, I would definitely look forward to the upcoming articles. There is always a place in the world that we fell in love with and it breaks our heart to leave that place. But the nice thing about it is that you can always go back and explore the place that you love. Nice snaps socio, better that those of the previous one and you are getting better and better. Now I couldn’t wait to read the stories behind those pictures. Take care and enjoy your trip.
Thanks so much mate! Wait for it Jmaxnow, there will be more nice pictures and many many adventures 🙂 Thanks so much for the support. As always, we really appreciate it! All the best and glad you enjoy the pictures 🙂
Awesome pics Sergio..
Looking at pics and discussion on fb .. I am also intrested to visit south.
Just wanted to know hitchhiking camping is possible that side.
I can’t spend too much on expencive places ..
Thanks so much Sheetal! The south is great and very unexplored, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it a lot 😉 It’s not the cheapest place to go though. While hitchhiking is possible, it’s forbidden for foreigners to camp in any place of the country :/ You can always try to do it but if the police catch you they will send you to a hotel straightaway, and probably not the cheapest one… :/ Let me know if you have more questions mate! 🙂

Do you mind if I share those photos on our social media and website?
Hello Min, no problem! Feel free to use them, I would appreciate a dofollow link to the website though 🙂
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures- I will be travelling to Myanmar in August with a friend and we intended to take the same route as you and follow your itinerary!
Thanks so much Hannah! Glad you find my adventures useful 🙂 Just one piece of advice, be careful with the rain, August is deep rainy season :/ North of the country will be better than South. Enjoy there and let me know if you have questions! 😉
