Myanmar has always been one of Southeast Asia’s most popular bucket-list destinations but, only in recent years, with visa restrictions being eased for Japan, South Korea, China and select European countries, has the mysterious nation become a viable travel option. Yangon, the country’s former administrative capital, is often considered the gateway to the once closed-off Myanmar. The old capital is quickly meeting demands for travellers who are more interested in the finer things in life.
There are some recommended destinations you can refer when traveling in Yangon:
Visiting Shwedagon Pagoda- a special pagoda in Yangon
One of the most impressive and sacred Buddhist sites in Myanmar. It is a towering structure that dominates the skyline of Yangon, adorned with gold plates, jewels and bells. The pagoda is said to enshrine relics of four ancient Buddhas, and attracts pilgrims and tourists from all over the world. The best time to visit is at sunset, when the golden stupa glows with a magical light. Shwedagon Pagoda is not only a stunning monument, but also a living testimony of the faith and devotion of the Myanmar people.
Visiting Sule Pagoda- a holy space in Yangon
When you visit to downtown place of Yangon, you will see Sule Pagoda. It is located in the middle of the road. The Sule Pagoda, found in the city center, is estimated to be about 2,000 years old. It is certainly a stunning structure, with its golden leaves and shining mirrors reflecting the sunlight during the day and lit up after dark.
Sule is a special pagoda which has great meaning of not only culture and religion but also a symbol of this city. The main reason is that it is located in the center of Yangon and at the intersection of the biggest and most beautiful roads.
Kandawgyi Park- a beautiful nature space
If you are a nature lover and want to travel a quiet destination, Kandawgyi Park is really an ideal place for you. Its area is very large with lake, flower garden, children play’s area, mini zoo and so on. Visiting this park, you will certainly dip into fresh air which can make your soul relaxing and comfortable. Besides going around the campus, you can hire a boat to explore the beautiful landscapes on the lake.
Like many of Myanmar’s delicious neighbors, the cuisine in this country is a fusion of flavors, ingredients, and dishes that have come together to make this country one of the most coveted among foodies. Those who crave a unique main course may opt for nangyi thoke, while those with a palate craving something different may instead try Myanmar’s famous tea leaf salad, that is chock full of nuts, tea leaves, and shrimp sauce, making for one of the world’s most interesting salads.
Nestled on the edge of Southeast Asia, Myanmar is a beautiful, vast country full of rich tradition, delicious food and gorgeous natural sights. Visitors from all walks of life can find reasons to visit and fall in love with this wondrous ancient land.
Although not as famous as Yangon, Bagan is still a popular destination for tourists, thanks to its mysterious beauty and harmony between nature and architecture. It is not an exaggeration to say that the sunrise in Bagan is one of the breathtaking landscapes that you need to admire at least once in your life.
About 9 hours by bus from Yangon and about 145km southwest of Mandalay is Bagan, the city that was the capital of the Pagan dynasty from the 9th to the 13th centuries. This place is famous for possessing a series of magnificent Buddhist temples and pagodas (estimated at more than 2,200 large and small temples in an area of only 100 km2). The temples built during the Pagan dynasty were also a major turning point, marking the development of Buddhism in this country.
Besides many classic and impressive architectural blocks, those who travel to Bagan on their own cannot help but admire the extremely "miraculous" natural landscape, such as the warm sunlight embracing the ancient tower or the endless hot air balloons floating among the floating clouds.
In addition to the temples, visitors can also enjoy a relaxing trip on the Ayeyarwady River, the lifeblood of Myanmar. Cruise from Mandalay to Bagan and enjoy the riverside vegetation, soothing river breezes, and, not to mention, the sights and sounds of riverside life. You'll also be able to admire the fascinating views of Mount Sagaing, Pakokku, Myingyan, and other locations along the way.
The country of Myanmar, with a coastline stretching over 2,000 km, has not been exploited much, so the beaches here still almost retain their original wild beauty. When traveling to Myanmar, there is nothing more enjoyable than resting on the charming beaches of the Bay of Bengal, especially Ngapali Beach, only 45 minutes by car from Yangon.
Although Myanmar cuisine is heavily influenced by India, China, Thailand, and the culinary cultures of many ethnic minorities, the dishes here still have their own attractive characteristics. Not only are Myanmar dishes delicious, they are also sophisticated in preparation and, especially, very cheap. If you have the opportunity to come to Yangon or Bangan, take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy unique street foods such as tea and flat bread, Nangyi thoke, samosa salad, Shan noodles, grilled food, and fragrant curry rice.
Similar to other Southeast Asian countries, Myanmar only has rainy and dry seasons. The rainy season lasts from June to October, leading to difficulty in traveling, few festivals, cultural events, etc., so you should limit traveling to Bagan during this time. From March to May is also not the ideal time to go to Bagan on your own. The cause is prolonged hot weather. To admire Bagan at its most brilliant, you should visit here around November and February of the following year.
Mandalay is the second-largest city in Myanmar. This place is located north of Yangon, about 716km. Mandalay has a lifespan of more than 142 years and a wall of extremely old historical relics. In addition, there are temples that are thousands of years old. These temples have always been protected and preserved intact to this day. Precisely for those reasons. A self-guided trip to Mandalay is always an attractive destination when you set foot in Myanmar.
Mandalay and the surrounding towns are known for the hundreds of pagodas and monasteries found in the area. A few we recommend you visit would be Mahamuni Buddha Pagoda, Kuthodaw Pagoda and the Mandalay Palace. A trip to Myanmar wouldn’t be complete with out checking out a pagoda or two (or ten).
You can also see the worlds longest teak bridge Over two centuries old, the world’s longest teak bridge spans Taungthaman Lake in Mandalay’s Amarapura township. U Bein bridge is 1.2 km long. We highly recommend you check it out during sunset to get the best photos.
Mandalay Hill is a must-do, this 240-meter high hill gives you an incredible view of the whole area. Getting up there is easier than you would expect, they build an elevator and escalator on the foot of the highest of the temple. Note to cover yourself and take off your shoes. The entrance fee to Mandalay Hill is K1000. ($0.75). Don’t be surprised when Myanmese people ask you to take a photo with you. They just want to show this to their relatives.
Near to the Mingun Pagoda is the beautiful white Hsinbyume Pagoda. You can walk up the stairs and explore every level of the pagoda. The Pagoda is not big shouldn’t be missed while visiting Mandalay. This is one of the reasons why you must visit Myanmar.
One of the main attractions of Mandalay is the U-Bein Bridge. The 1200 meter long wooden footbridge is known as the longest in the world. When visiting in February there was almost no water under the bridge so doing a boat tour is definitely not recommended. From Mandalay, it is a small 20-min drive to U-Bein Bridge. Arrive two hours before sunset, see how the locals are relaxing here.
Tourism is slowly yet surely developing in Myanmar, so travelers will want to get there, and fast, before the country loses some of its authenticity to prepare for incoming visitors. Already the country can be seen tailoring to its foreign customers and the country is even aiming to have 7.5 million visitors by 2020.
yanmar is safe in places where foreigners are allowed to visit, with extremely low incidents of crime. However, when using hotel safes for your valuables, you still need to observe the necessary precautions. You may sometimes come across some people trying to persuade you to buy things, but most people approaching you are simply taking the chance to practice their English.

It is fairly easy to book a day tour of the Mekong Delta from Ho Chi Minh city. Usually, you can catch a bus to the region you choose and from there get on a boat or bile and get ready to explore. The Mekong Delta is the agricultural center of Vietnam. Taking a trip along the Mekong Delta is an unforgettable experience that will show you a panorama of the life of the Mekong people. A few hours outside of Ho Chi Minh City, the Mekong Delta can be found snaking through luscious countryside. A world away from the busy streets of Saigon or Hanoi, this sight will give you an entirely different perspective of Vietnam altogether. Surrounded by rice paddies, swampland and green foliage, the Mekong Delta should be at the top of your list of things to see in the country.
If you want to learn about the history of Vietnam's struggles, Ho Chi Minh City will provide you with a lot of fascinating historical stories. This is the home to the War Remnants Museum, the Independence Palace, the intricate system of Cu Chi Tunnels and along with a number of other iconic landmarks, Saigon is perfect for both history buffs and those who need a beginner’s lesson on Vietnam’s rich past. The Reunification Palace, also known as Independence Palace, is today not only a museum, but there are still meetings and events held by the government. It’s also the place where the end of the Vietnam War was decided. The palace is one of the most visited sights in Ho Chi Minh City. On the inside you can take a look at many rooms with the original furniture like chairs or tables. The basement with some control rooms etc. is also worth seeing.
Ho Chi Minh City often comes alive in the evenings, with everywhere from cafés and bars to lakes and bridges filled with night owls. There are so many clubs and bars in Ho Chi Minh City that it would take you a lifetime to visit them all. Similar to Bangkok’s famed Khao San Road, Pham Ngu Lao Street is Saigon’s backpacker district, and it’s where the revelry goes on long into the night. If you’re looking for more urbane options, try a rooftop bar hop of three of the city’s most famous hotels, the Rex, Caravelle, Majestic or Renaissance, where you can find colorful history and impressive view from there.
Like with many countries, there’s an ongoing argument about which end of the country has better food. Although we can’t tell you which cuisine you’ll like more, we can say that Ho Chi Minh City offers an amazing choice of both traditional food and new, innovative concepts, whereas Hanoi favours conventional dishes. So, if you like both traditional phở and intriguing fusion cuisine, you’re sure to find it in the streets of Saigon.
The driest months in Ho Chi Minh City are from December to March, making it one of the most popular times to visit. The temperatures are warm during this time, ranging between 70-93°F (21-34°C). If you can, come during the Tet Festival (Vietnamese New Year) at the end of January/beginning of February to enjoy the colorful celebrations. Prices are jacked up during this time, however.
Hope this list of things to do in Ho Chi Minh City has helped you to get an idea of what to expect and will make it easier to plan you travels in Vietnam!

An amazing place to have an authentic photo shoot session with your Bangkok-based personal photographer.
Visit Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
To see something that is very unique head to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market to the west of Bangkok. Here you can go on a boat along the narrow canals and will have the opportunity to buy items from floating boats nearby, or from the shops that line the side. Many hotels and hostels will be able to offer tours or advise on the best way to book a trip.
You can experience traveling in a Tuk Tuk
On dry land, your method of transport has to be a Tuk Tuk (a three-wheeled taxi). They look bizarre. In fact, they are bizarre. But the experience of riding in one is not to be missed. Just hold on to your valuables! It’s a hairy experience, zipping in and out of the dense traffic.

Regardless of what you enjoy and your reason for visiting, Bangkok has something for you. And if you are looking for places to go on holiday, it’s definitely worth going to see what all the fuss is about…
