Travel Tips

The best time to visit is during the dry season from November to February. Pack lightweight clothing for warm days and a jacket for cooler evenings. Respect local customs, dress modestly when visiting religious sites, and ask permission before photographing people. Carry cash as card payments are limited. Stay hydrated and use insect repellent. Learning a few basic Burmese or Shan phrases can enhance interactions with locals.
