Overall, Burma has been probably one if not the most breathtaking country we ever travelled. Despite officially being one of the poorest place in the world, we found very industrious and friendly people.
Yangon: the capital is not too bad to spend 2 days (no more). The Shwedagon Paya at sunset is an inspirational place while walking around in the city center will reveal magnificent and huge colonial buildings, often abandoned. One memorable experience was to take the train to Bagan. What was supposed to be a 14h journey over 600km ... turned to be a 20h journey across magnificent landscape. The very slow speed of the train and the big open windows gave the feeling to be cycling in the Burmese country side.
Once in Bagan, the magnificence of this country came to the peak. The 2,000 temples immersed in a green landscape are amazing. Exploring them is an experience that is at the same time cultural (for the history), mystical (they are still places of worship) and athletical (you can climb on top of the roof on most of them). Buddhist temples are not only places to prey, but their courts are places to meet and spend time with the family. In Bagan, thanks to the help of a group of local women, me also manage to get a ride and navigate, for a little while, the Irrawady river, the main river of Myanmar.
The Inle Lake was our next stop after Bagan. While it’s utterly beautiful, it’s probably the most touristic place in Myanmar and that spoils a bit the atmosphere. Anyway, watching the local fishermen fishing at sunset is something breathtaking. Inle Lake is not the only attraction here. After we were done with the lake, we move exploring the hills of the surrounding area, where agriculture is the main occupation for the population. We even discovered a wine estate producing very good white and red wines.
The last part of our trip was Mrauk-U, a remote rural village at the border with Bangladesh. This was the capital of the Rakhine State and during the 1500 - 1600 AD, was one of the most important cities in Asia. We looked at a painting done in the 1600 and shows a big city with long walls, a quarter for European merchants and a number of vessels and ships trading in the port. Now, the remaining temples and walls are to be found in the wheat fields.
Love to see Myanmar
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩

Thank you bro!
Thank
My country ,my home.Whatever people say,I love Myanmar in my heart deeply.And, of course, I am really proud of being Myanmar.
People don’t have to say nothing. It’s sad that your own people in these villages, that forgotten , probably more hidden due to mankind, feel so sorry for the women and children
I have something for you which you will like: ua-cam.com/video/xzVcqHYCxow/v-deo.html

Your excellent video really touched me, particularly the segment on Bagan and the Ayeyarwaddy River. I am a native of Yangon, Myanmar. I left my home in 1978 to widen my horizons. So far, I have traveled to 45 countries around the world and saw many wonderful sights, embraced different cultures, enjoyed the friendship and kindness of the local people in each place. I consider myself a citizen of the world now, but my heart will always be in my beloved homeland of Myanmar.
Thanks for the kind words
I worked at Myanmar, Its a good place, very good people,
Half of my family is from Burma and the other half is from Thailand. Wish to go back and visit again, really love my home
I AM NOTE LIKE MYNMAR .!! because it cannot humanize humans.! Why are the Rohingniya people being expelled from Myanmar

Hi iam Myanmar =မြန်မာနိုင်ငံ
It was fun at that time. Now those who have died and those who remain cannot be happy with difficulties
Wonderful documentary... great destination!
The balloons in Myanmar are so iconic. I've visited there a few times while dreaming, but unfortunately not yet in real life yet haha.
Wow this is amazing, looking forward to go there Love the baloons
Thank you for this beautiful video. I Knew nothing about this country, even if it exist but now I know at least that they have their own way of living. I love and wish to visit one day. Myanmar is a country in Asia with China on North, Bangladesh on west, Bhutan on North-west, Laos and Thailand on East.
E proprio fantastico! Ho imparato moltissimo guardando questo video. Mi vieniva brividi perche hai schelto musica che propproi perfetto! Addesso sento ho fatto 'film school' grazie a te!
Eh eh - grazie mille davvero!
Thanks 🙏 for visiting Myanmar 🇲🇲.
Thanks for Myanmar 🇲🇲 video.
Thanks for visiting Mrouk U, Rakhing state, Myanmar 🇲🇲.
I am from Rakhing state, Myanmar 🇲🇲.
Thanks for posting this. I felt like I just took a trek to Burma without leaving my recliner. You guys looked like you enjoyed it and you captured interesting points of interest without belaboring it.
Real cool guys...heading to Myanmar later this month and can't wait to just kick back and explore Bagan at ease...my plan is Yangon, Bagan, Inle and Mandalay. Is it worthwhile to do the trip to the cave with the 1000 Buddha figureines.....happy travels, ciao
hey Saurav how was the trip in the end were all four destinations worth it and did u go to the cave in the end?? also what was ur timescale
OMG 9 years ago 😢
i miss the old time in Myanmar 🇲🇲
Yes, nearly a decade ago!
life is good wherever you are! nice work y'all
The quality of the filmmaking in some of these shots is...amazing
+Kylie Putman thanks!!
Enjoyed the video. I visited Burma in 1977 and am thinking of a return visit.
wow - i want to see bagan of course. that watertown with houses on stilts was very interesting and beautiful. I'd love to visit the country.
Thank you
Good job! .I'm sure all of you enjoyed too much for this your trip.
Your shoot and moods make me not only be happy ,to paint some art works.
Thanks a lot.
@Guglielmo Biason Nice documentary ! Loved it

Myanmar is a good country to visit.
Indeed it is, we could not agree more
Nice italian accent ahahah.. great video thou, from the beginning (KESKEEFO is a true masterpiece) til the end! Gonna visit Burma in January, hope to get Mrauk U safe and sound :D
I love the way how do they treat islam
Very great impressions and very well edited! :)
+Florian Fuchs Thanks! Much appreciated

LETS HELP THESE PEOPLE !!!
Do we look like we need help? :/
i am big fan of yours.. please come and visit Bangladesh a wonderful country..
Yes, Wonderful of Trash, Riding on train roofs, Horrible buses ,unemployment buildings and overpopulated
nice trip.. thanks for sharing ...
Myanmar is my country ❤
Nice 👍
Amazing Video
I just came across your channel. You guys have some amazing videos that are really well done! Thank you for sharing all your travels ^^
PatMax Adventures very kind. Thanks
Loved this thank you! I will be visiting in January and can't wait. How long do you think is ideal for Bagan and Inle Lake? Also, if you did your trip all over again would you still do the (very bumpy) train ride, or would you chose to get the bus or fly instead? Thanks!
3 full days at Bagan, 2 at Inle (unless you want to to the trek, then you need more). The train was the best part and would do again and again. It's bumpy but because its slow, you can connect with the outside landscape. In a bus you are squeezed in a seat with air con and closed windows. In the train you can move and make friends
I love myanmer,I am a Gemmologist ,Assam India ,how can I go Mogok myanmer by Road from moreeh
Cool film, love it!
Hi, traveller greeting from Nepal
Hello there!
This is my country
And it's a beautiful one!
is it save for muslims o work in Myanmar?
Uzair Masood obviously not this video is old
@@uzairmasood1550 yes ! Yangon is safe for Muslim and there's many mosques
yes our train is really funny
u can get different experience
thanks for visit myanmar
i like your vlog
Beauty on the surface , but the lack of compassion to own people in the villages
Incredible video
What a magnificent country. When did you go there ? And was it easy to get to Mrauk-U ? (Thinking of the Rakhines' condition there ...)
+Victoria Leroy Thanks! We went there early January 2015. Going to Mrauk-U was a long journey. You need to get the plane from Yangoon, find a taxi and go immediately to find the boat that will take you to Mrauk-U. We arrived around midnight. In theory you should spend a night at Sittwe but you can do in one day if you are quick and organised before. When we were there we didn't see signs of Rakhines' situation that hitted the news during the last year
this is awesome!! we just got back from making our own series on Myanmar too :)
and it was so awesome!
Thanks ❤
You're welcome 😊
Missing our Golden Land !

Thanks indeed

BREAKING NEWS: UNESCO has declared Myanmar’s ancient capital of Bagan as a World Heritage Site, nearly a quarter of a century after the complex of Buddhist temples was first nominated for listing. The Myanmar proposal to list the site was approved at a meeting of the U.N.’s cultural body in Baku, Azerbaijan. The decision recognises the importance of the central Myanmar site - which includes more than 3,500 stupas, temples, monasteries and other structures built between the 11th and 13th centuries - and will likely be a boon to Myanmar’s tourist industry. The Myanmar proposal to list the site was approved at a meeting of the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization in Baku, Azerbaijan on Saturday, July 6, 2019.
3:46 Why is food on the ground next to the train track?
3:50 Are the train tracks really that bad?
Yes, it was food. It was sunset time, so I think were the leftover of a local market that took place on/near the tracks. Yes, the train was particularly bumby, the train tracks were never on a proper straight line. Hopefully they have improved since then
I was there before the accident and after. Dramatic change. I guess it's a bit too late to visit this beautiful place - it's never gonna be the same. What happened you can see in my latest video. Yes, I am telling you about my last video but I do believe that you are ought to know.
great vid, thanks!
How long was your trip in total? I'm looking to do a similar trip this December and would have a maximum of 3 weeks. Thanks for the video by the way I really enjoyed it. The balloon moment was breathtaking!
beautiful video
Ram Sarkar thanks!

My favourite country on the entire planet.
More than a land: Motherland.
Going in there is taking a journey into the soul.
Go to Burma, my Friend, you will not regret. I love that country so much...
I love your words Valentina. I've only visited 7 countries in my short 25 years, but I felt so whole when I visited here. Can't wait to return x
As long as everything works out with my visa, I should be going for a year to work for a school that has hired me in late May, with my wife. Do you have any advice?
bichhhh people marderrr people bichhh country mynmarr i hate mynmar people marderr people draval people

Haven't visited Thailand besides Bangkok, so difficult to tell. I understand there are a lot of similarities, though Thailand is much more advanced
@@GuglielmoBiason thx
Myanmar is my country I live Myanmar town madaya
Sorry to be that guy, I just thought I'd point out that taking photographs with the monks and around the temple is generally considered inauspicious. The temples are considered sacred, and by being in their presence and taking photos it suggests you are missing the point. I want to clarify I'm not having a go, or saying that you've insulted these people or anything, or done anything wrong, just that the idea of asking two monks to pose next to you in a photograph in front of what looked to be a pretty important bell kind of goes against pretty much everything the monks believe around materialism, attachment, ego, and being present in the moment. That said I don't mean to discourage you, I thought the rest of the footage in the temple was great, and captured it really well! I also don't think that the rest of the footage would have been considered inauspicious, as there was no particular focus to it and was of them going about their daily lives from a distance. I really hope this has come across to you as constructive feedback than criticism. I'd have done the same myself, like most people would, if it weren't for the fact I study anthropology, and also spend two weeks of every month living in a Hindu monestary (where they've banned photography for this reason ;p). Unfortunately humans are incredibly ethnocentric, and struggle to have the awareness of these things, so I do hope this helps you, unless you feel there is no issue, in which case that's fine too!
Hi James. Thanks. Criticism is good, especially when written politely, without polemic intent, as you did. I agree with you and we also were quite "shy" in filming the monks or generally people preying as at least you don't want to disturb or have them feeling your "touristic" presence. The funny thing is that in that specific instance the monks came to us and asked to have a pic with us and we filmed this. It's still quite usual in Myanmar for local people to ask to have a picture with foreigners and monks were no different. This will probably change quite soon with increasing mass tourism. As soon as they realise that tourists are happy to pay money to take a picture it will be over. We just came back from Sri Lanka where this practice is so common now that is partially affecting society and jobs. E.g. Sri Lankan iconic stilt fishermen (like the ones in the cover of the Lonely Planet) realised that is more lucrative to rent out their stilts to someone who is presenting to fish only at request of the tourists for a few bucks. It's quite sad to see that - an old tradition of fishing replaced by fake fishing only for tourism. I think it's caused by a mix of inequality (a couple of dollars are big money for locals), (b) the attitude of giving tips by tourists and (c) the generic impulse that we now have with smartphones to take pics and videos of everything and everyone
i love my country.
We too! 👍
Just discovered your channel. Awesome video. Beautiful country & people & I hope I will visit this place soon. Keep up the good work. I just subscribed to your channel.😍👍🏽🌎

Hi, thanks. Have you also watched our video of Sri Lanka? We loved tour country. What you think?
We love u too Sri Lanka
🇲🇲❤️🇱🇰
@@heinhtet2234shut ur mouth ufreak
What camera did you use?
A Canon 650D (with a wide-angle lens) and an iPhone 5
loved your video, u all seem to be funny guys to hang out with. Quick questions please, 1) how long was the boat ride with the local women? I would love to do the same, How can I accomplish that? 2) did the boat bring u back to same spot u boarded? my last question: 3) what month of the year were u in Myanmar>? it seems u had a great sunny clear weather in Myanmar.4) Did u need any permit to visit Mrauk-U? how safe is to visit there now in 2018? Grazie, Chao
Sebastian Ariel Burd hi, so going in order 1a) if you mean the boat with the women in Bagan, this is a short ride, probably 30 min each way. It brings you from Bagan “pier” to a village on the other side of the river where you can climb a hill and visit a monastery. I truly recommend. Yes, the boat brought us back on the same spot 1b) if you mean the boat from Sittwe to Mrauk-U this is a different story. 6-7h journey. 2) see above 3) we went in early January. Best timing is from late Nov to March. 4) At the time Mrauk-U was fine although there were probably less than 10 foreigners in the entire town. I think is still achievable but you need to check with local sources. Allow 24h to get there ans 24h to come back. Feel free to ask more questions if in doubt!
Thanks Guglielmo, I wish I met you guys, u seem to be fun to travel with, Love italians. I will be in Myanmar from nov 3 to 18, crossing my fingers I get good weather, not high humidity and rain so I can enjoy more and take awesome pictures. Crossing my fingers to be able to do the hot air balloon as well. Mrauk U is a must, not this time due to lack of time, but I will def. visit that magical place. Grazie and ciao
Amazing! I totally loved your style of filming.Think I'll subscribe now....
Absolutely! Pls do :)
hi! Thank you for posting this. I'm visiting Myanmar this November and want to travel the same route as yourself. What mode of transportation did you use and how long between the spots? Thanks!
Spent 1 full day in Yangoon, then we took the overnight train to Bagan. We spent 3 full days and then we got to the Inle lake via an overnight bus (leaving Bagan at 10pm, you arrive at ca 5am). We spent 3 full days at the lake an then we took another overnight bus to Yangon and then a full day of travel via plane (Yangon - Sitwe) and boat to reach Mrauk-U where we spent 1 full day + another day to come back to Yangon. Feel free to shout for any question
Most of the people over there may not have the luxury and modern items .But most of them are farmers and more importantly they own land and free of debt.
Ze Khong. I disagree I just saw a report of the poverty of locals that don’t have farms and are deep in debt with their neighbors, being charged 20% and 30% interest rates by loan sharks. This is illegal but the police are not enforcing it. Children have been forced to drop out of school to work collecting cans and bottles for recycling, also children are going hungry. So NO most are not farmers. Where did you get your information?
