Myanmar photos

The Myanmar photos show some of the beauty of Myanmar or Burma. There's a lot to see and a lot of good people to meet. The political situation however is not so nice.

The elected Aung San Suu Kyi is still living under house arrest in Yangon. Although she firmly discourages people to visit Myanmar (Burma), I think many of the ordinary people I met like foreigners to visit their country. It makes sense. The country is beautiful, there's a lot of culture, very friendly people and it also gives the world an opportunity to see in effect what is going on in Myanmar.

The following page gives you an idea how beautiful the country is.

Myanmar is a Buddhist country with a long and rich history. Like in Cambodia and Thailand most of the ancient buildings are religious of nature. This page may load a bit slow as it is photos only so please be patient.
