Many people have the perception that travel to Myanmar is still very restricted, but that’s not the case at all. Tourist visas to Myanmar are as automatically-awarded as most countries in the world and there are no restrictions on independent travelers, although certain areas may be restricted. The tourism and transportation infrastructure is good, although perhaps not as advanced as the other countries in SE Asia. Guides speak excellent English, there are a choice of beautiful 4 and 5-star hotels, and flights between cities are reliable and safe. Check out the private tours for independent travelers that Red Lantern Journeys offers in Myanmar.
