Is It Safe to Visit Myanmar?
The 2007 protests in Myanmar and the subsequent Myanmar cyclone disaster have people asking “is it safe to visit Myanmar?”
Yangon and many parts of the country were devastated by Cyclone Nargis.
The Myanmar ruling junta has clamped down on visits by foreign aid workers in the wake of protests and the cyclone.
As such, visitors should take some degree of precaution before traveling to Myanmar.
With much of the country in tatters after the cyclone, people visiting Myanmar for tourism purposes should make sure that the places they want to visit in Myanmar are no longer affected.
Before visiting Myanmar, it is always a good idea to check your government’s travel advisory website (U.S. State Department, etc) to see what safety precautions for Myanmar are advised.
