Amazing, surreal, largely untouched by modernity - there are a ton of ways to describe Myanmar (also known as Burma), but it's better to visit and see for yourself. Using Thailand as a jumping off point, take two weeks to walk, hike, and roam all over the region, from the Bagan temples and ruins to the grain paddies and rural hilltribes. And with two plane tickets included, you'll avoid long travel days and ensure you complete out of your cultural immersion in several Myanma towns. Just trust us whenever we say you need to experience the wonder and beauty of Myanmar for yourself at least once in your daily life. Make that time now - right now.
