Myanmar's Top 3 Tourists Destinations

From time to time, a few people would found my blog somehow and ask me about traveling in Myanmar although I don't write much about Myanmar travel. Most of them are unsure of how to get the entry visa and some want to know about places to go. Sadly, I don't have any first-hand experience traveling inside my mother land as I moved to Thailand in my late teenage years. But I do know pretty well about Myanmar travel destinations because I am making a travel plan for myself. I've always been dreaming about going back and travel inside Myanmar. Now, let me share 3 destinations in Myanmar that tourists must go.

Bagan

Bagan is magnificent. It is the land of Burmese myth and folklore. You'll see stupas and pagodas every where you look at. Most of them were built around 11th century. I've been there once when I was a kid and had my share of excitement.

Located in the central planes, Bagan is almost desert like in nature. Its dry and dusty. Maybe, that's what makes the sunset in Bagan so beautiful. I'll definitely go there again someday.

Inle Lake

Inle is an amazing lake formed in the mountainous land of Shan state. People living around the lake speaks their own language and practice a distinct culture. The most notable thing about them is the leg rowing style.

Ngapali Beach

If you'd like a break at a quiet tropical beach, Ngapali is for you. You can enjoy the white sand beach, crystal clear water and the wonderful local fishing community. It is less spoiled than any other tropical beaches in the South East Asia. Ngapali definitely sits at the top of my list.
