What to Bring
What to Bring when you decided to visit Myanmar
You don't need to bring much thick cloths for Myanmar holiday tour trip. Even at the height of the cold season you'll rarely need anything more than a sweater while on the plains and probably only for the nights in Bagan Myanmar, where it can get a little chilly or upper north of Myanmar Kachin State . It can get rather cold up in the hill Myanmar country, so if you're going to Pyin U lwin Or Inle in Myanmar, bring a warm sweater or light jacket. In Myitkyina and Bhamo in the Kachin state which lie above the tropic of Cancer, it can get downright cold in the winter months; consider buying a heavy jacket in Mandalay before heading up there during Myanmar holiday season. A light sleeping bag might also be useful in other parts of the Shan State in Myanmar, especially in Kalaw and Taunggyi where the one or two blankets per person supplied by Myanmar guesthouses is not always enough during the cold season. Otherwise it's normal tropical gear lightweight, but "decent", clothes. Myanmar is a prim, conservative country so shorts (particularly when worn by women) or short skirts are inappropriate for women in Myanmar.
