Try to stay at Melià, Lotte, Pan Pacific, Wyndham Grand Yangon hotels for like one night.

    Educate yourself. Show some respect to Myanmar people, who are suffering. What a colonial behavior. Thousands dead. 18 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, a whole generation sacrificed and you dare come to Myanmar with your cheap dollars? What a disgrace. A country at war is not a touristic destination. Shame on westerners visiting Myanmar. That’s exactly what the junta wants. Normalizing the situation.

    It is unfortunate to see that you have received a lot of criticism for drinking Myanmar beer, but don't take it to heart. Myanmar is in a civil war so many people who stand on the side of anti-government warlords will criticize you. I am not Burmese so I have no interest in this. From an objective perspective: Myanmar needs peace and development the most now, and promoting ethnic equality and democracy should also be promoted as peacefully as possible. Many rebellious warlords just want to seize territory, they do not have the strength to unify Myanmar, and will only make Myanmar more chaotic.

Note that locals who strike up a conversation with you may not be all that they seem. And do not upload recognizable video of anyone critical of the current administration. It could get them arrested and much worse.
