Is It Safe to Visit Myanmar?
The 2007 protests in Myanmar and the recent cyclone have people asking "is it safe to visit Myanmar?"
With Yangon and many parts of the country devastated by the cyclone and the Myanmar ruling junta clamping down on visits by foreign aid workers, visitors should take caution before traveling to Myanmar. With much of the country in tatters after the cyclone, people visiting Myanmar for tourism purposes should consider rescheduling their trips.
Before visiting Myanmar, check your government's website (U.S. State Department, etc) to see what safety precautions are advised.
