Hi guys, I’m planning on heading to the golden triangle and I’d love to visit Myanmar for a day or 2. Is it ok for me to cross the border (and pay for visa there)? Are the surrounds towns/areas generally safe for a foreigner? I’ll be travelling on an EU passport. Thanks

I keep getting the same goddamn blank here. I have the pdf file for the QR code but I can't recheck the schedule

So many events has been going insanely currently -Middle east War -Russia Vs Ukraine -Russia Vs NATO

• protesters in Georgia cuz its government resisted to join NATO

-Tension in South China Sea -Myanmar civil war -Wa and Thailand military tensions

• South Korea Vs north Korea (South Korea has even declared martial law)

Is world war III approaching? Do you think we will survive?

My girlfriend from Myanmar plans to visit a country in Asia (won't say which country for privacy reasons) early next year just to visit me using her PV passport. The country she's visiting doesn't require a visa and she's not going for work as she will be returning back to Myanmar within 14 days after the tourist visit. She is within conscription age but she has the money to bribe if necessary. How likely is she able to leave the country? Also, someone told me if she went through the airport lounge instead, she won't have to deal with the police and immigration officers there but I'm not finding much information about that. If chances of leaving are slim, then what are the other ways to leave? Can anyone with knowledge/experience confirm with me? Thanks.

I may ask this question again in a few months just to be sure if anything changed or not.

I read in "The King In Exile" by Sudha Shah, and that Burma was close to becoming a monarchy and Bogyoke Aung San commented: "I have to admire these royal relatives. I am not a man obsessed with the monarchy as other. But I despise the act of the British who dethroned our Burmese king. The meaning of independence will be complete if we can re-establish the dynasty. We can switch to the Presidency if we no longer want a monarchy. Now the public is expecting a future king, and these royal relatives are the sole heirs of the throne. I can't do anything if these relatives don't want back the throne. But they must not make any complaints after the establishment of a republic.". Prince Taw Phaya and his brothers rejected the throne, and Prince Taw Phaya said "communist and socialists ... these chaps have guns, and one bullet is enough to keep you quiet.". Anyways, what do you think if history took a different turn?

I inherited this puppet from my grandfather who travelled to Myanmar in the early 90's. Sadly not in very good shape. Can you tell me anything about it? Is it supposed to represent a certain character in a play?

Can someone please translate this for me. A girl I talk to sent me this. She sent a picture of me to her friend and I have no idea what it says. Translate to basic English if possible

I've seen some taxis plastered with their name around Yangon, so I figured they are a taxi hailing service, but how is it compared to Grab?

The electricity went out quite often in Insein, and I feel hot in my home even in the winter season. Is there any good library in Yangon that I can go and chill by reading books? Any recommendations?

In comparison to its nearby neighbouring countries, who invented Indic-inspired terms for the concept. Even the languages of India, a country where the British legacy is more visible than in Myanmar, didn't borrow the English word.

Hello. Why is the land prices in Yangon (generally all over Myanmar) is very expensive?

For an under-develope country which doesn't fall into the developing countries category (as of now due to the current government situation) so there aren't much opportunities for the business or lifestyle developments, the land prices are extremely high for unbelievable prices.

Are there any possibilities that those unrealistic prices of land will go down to normal or will it get higher in future?

I simply don't understand the logic behind it. Can somebody explain to me?

I feel like I've seen every ethnicity in Myanmar represented here except for them (even the ethnic Chinese, though they never said they were either Kokang or Wa)

Hey! Posting for a foreign teacher I had from high school. She’s coming back to work in Yangon and needs assistance with finding a live-in helper that can speak English since she’s bringing her kids too. Standard domestic duties like school runs, laundry, etc. She’s a wonderful teacher and person, who is nothing if not fair and kind, and would definitely compensate for a lot more than the standard! Wouldn’t have to be fluent, but an understanding of basic commands and small conversation is what she’s looking for.

If anyone might be able to help, or know of any places/forums that might help, please PM me!

(i am deeply aware of the ramifications of what’s going on in myanmar and the harm it can cause for foreigners to move without considering what is happening. i’m not here to argue, i also have qualms about foreigners moving there, believe me, and i have qualms about her too, but if anything, i am glad it is someone like her and not random Americans or British people with no real experience or qualifications or grit. she has made the decision already, and the most i can attest to that is, she’s a powerhouse of a teacher. overqualified, literally has a knighthood, and the community she will teach and interact with will benefit so so much by her being there. so if you know anyone or anything that might be able to help, again, reply or shoot me a message!)

where do you find out when there’s cosplay events?? like i keep seeing cosplayers in the yangon convention center or in like myanmar plaza and i don’t see the announcement for the event idk where to find it
