Description
Book Introduction
"Myanmar Self-Travel" is a guidebook written and photographed by a couple who run a travel agency specializing in Myanmar and Laos.
Those who call Myanmar their second home have confidently portrayed Myanmar in a way that is suitable for domestic travelers.
In Myanmar, where tourism infrastructure is somewhat lacking, we have selected key tourist attractions, activities, and accommodations to help travelers avoid getting lost and easily travel independently. The shops included in the book also provide basic information such as price, atmosphere, and location.
Rather than just listing the advantages, I expressed the inconveniences I felt from the perspective of travelers and included useful tips I learned through my own experiences while traveling.
The dazzling pagodas and various Buddhist statues throughout the book are enough to create a fantasy of Myanmar along with its mystique.

Into the book
The unique octagonal shape of the Sule Pagoda, which is the benchmark of downtown Yangon and the center of all commercial and cultural activities, indicates that the temple was built before the Bagan period.
It is said that a hair of Buddha is enshrined inside, and as the city was built around the Sule Pagoda during the British occupation, the surrounding area is densely packed with buildings built during the old British colonial period, as well as various Hindu temples, Chinese temples, and churches built by Indians and Chinese who immigrated to Britain at the time.
- 64p Sule Pagoda

Bagan, one of the world's three greatest Buddhist heritage sites along with Cambodia's Angkor Wat and Indonesia's Borobudur Temple, is by far the most impressive in terms of scale.
Countless temples were built across a vast area of ​​42 square kilometers, and although many have been lost over the millennia, over 2,400 still remain.
Additionally, all the temples here are built on the voluntary donations of Buddhists to accumulate blessings in this life, and even though they are small temples, each one is filled with sincerity.
- 100p Millennium Kingdom, Bagan

The scene of rowing a small boat on a lake with transparent shadows reflecting on it is like an oriental painting.
Myanmar's vast land is home to numerous lakes, but Inle Lake is particularly special because of the Intha people, whose every appearance exudes a mysterious aura.
The Intha people, who are said to have originally lived in southern Myanmar, first immigrated to this area in the 13th century and, with their industrious nature, built houses on stilts on the wide lake and cultivated fields.
Various garments made from threads made from lotus stems and tomatoes grown in floating fields are of the highest quality, and decorative items such as paper umbrellas and silverware are also famous.

Publisher's Review

The last destination in Asia, Myanmar!


Myanmar is a country where innocent, unspoiled people and pure nature, deeply cherished in their beauty, coexist.
It is full of captivating attractions, from the huge golden pagodas and numerous Buddhist statues to the devout alms processions.
Perhaps that's why? Myanmar was even selected as a recommended travel destination by CNN in 2014, and is attracting global attention as a must-see tourist destination.
Myanmar is currently experiencing one of the hottest periods in its history, with Aung San Suu Kyi's party winning a landslide victory, raising expectations for democratization.


"Myanmar Self-Travel" thoroughly introduces major regions such as Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, Inle Lake, and Ngapali Beach, and is packed with information travelers need, including transportation, fares, and the best time to visit.
Let's go to Myanmar, the last remaining travel destination in Asia, right now!
