- While walking around Yangon in Myanmar, visiting Sule Pagoda, travelling by bus, eating local food and visiting Shwedagon Pagoda, I'm talking about some sensitive subjects. Myanmar is undergoing a civil war and I can silence about this.

🌟 Want to help me to help others?
My mission is to make more people aware of the situation while trying to help as much as I can. Up until today, not one NGO can be transparent about the activities they are doing within Myanmar, so I had to be creative how we can help some of the people in need. We can not stop the war, but we can help people in need who are effected by the war.

Thanks for this. I would like to suggest if you could blur the whole body of the local guide gentleman on Shwedagon pagoda. It's because he could get into trouble simply by talking to you about the situation in Yangon. The military or police could arrest him any time they like if they saw this video. The suppression is unbelievable in Myanmar.
yes really sad
Thank you 🙏 I just took action on your feedback and blurred his body too. It will take a few hours to process before you’re able to see the changes I’ve made 🏆 thanks so much for looking out for us 🙏
The man you met in Shwedagon pagoda said it's not safe to share too much information about military but he still did tell everything from power cut-outs, inflation to the fleeing of our people to foreign countries Plus some warnings to travel
I feel him as i am also a burmese myself
When someone is interested in our country situations we are very wiiling to share how horrible and scary our daily life is It gives a sense that we're not forgotten
Anyway , love your contents Chai
your daily life is horrible and scary that's why you can comment freely here and talking overreactions and feelings of your nonsenses
@@user-xc8eo1td3x Overreactions lol You said it cuz you are not living near the war zone Internet can be cut out at any time & if u don't have any intentions to say something positive, u better shut up , Airhead 💨
@@user-xc8eo1td3xlooks like a military junta meat-rider
I have always wanted to visited Myanmar but due to its political tension, I will just wait a little longer I guess. Hope Myanmar find peace and prosperous soon. Love from Cambodia
Good idea to wait to for things to settle 🙏 hopefully it will be good again soon 🏆 thank you so much for watching
Omg i have tears in my eyes. How much I love and miss Myanmar.
❤️ hopefully things will settle soon and you’re able to revisit without any worries 🙏
@@Chai_Travel, Yangon is safe, It’s just that, The military could take over yangon and declare for war. One of my mom’s brother was took away by the cruel military. This could happen in Yangon, in the future, But, I hope not.
Thank you for loving my Country Myanmar 😍😍
I can't wait for things to change for the better 🙏🙏🙏
I love Myanmar. Visited in 2016. A pic of Mt. Popa has been my screensaver since.
I was looking at one more video of people visiting Yangon during this special period, roof top cocktails, shopping malls, A video where it s almost not mentioned what locals are going through. And then i found your video today, quite the opposite. simple, just a phone to film, and a great insight of what is Yangon now. You try local food , betel nuts. You have an hotel with aircon, but you do mention locals who dont....loved it.
Thanks for showing your appreciation, :) that's very nice to read ❤️
Lively city. Reasonable good infrastructure. Sad that there is war good on. Pray for Myanmar to get peace soon 🙏.
I think it's a beautiful place.. the people, the food.. the architecture. Another great video.
Thank you 🤗
I really like your Channel, its contents and your superb mastery of the English Language. Cheers.
Thank you very much! 🙏🤗 that’s nice of you
Thank you friend Chai for sharing the update of the atmosphere today in Myanmar. Although worrisome for the risk-taking tourist, Myanmar has a lot to share with the visitor. I followed a Burmese vlogger student studying in Chula-Thai, and I had been briefed on the crisis situation in the country's politics after the coup d'état. 🤔 Stay safe.
Thank you too 🙏🏆 I have to say I’m publishing the videos outside of Myanmar as I don’t think it would be safe enough for me talking about the war at all 😕 thanks again mate 🤗
The golden light from the Shwedagon Pagoda at night is stunning. 🥰
This is Great guys. Thank you and blessings for sharing your adventures. Yangon is very normal I can see apart from Electricity cut outs. Sule Pagoda is central magnet for every tourist in central Yangon. Myanmar Hta-Min (RICE) and Hin (CURRY) is a MUST for every visitor.
10,000 kyats entrance for SULE PAGODA and 20,000 Kyats entrance for Shwe Dagon Pagoda are quite huge but you are helping with donations. Thardu Thardu Thardu
@@TimK2646 These donations go to swell the 'trustees'' bank accounts.
This is the first video that I have watched of Myanmar. Very interesting place. I hope for peace there soon. Be careful with those road crossings on foot. That one busy road looked pretty sketchy. I think there was a pedestrian bridge not far from where you crossed.
Haha yeah, my bad for crossing there 😅 Thanks for watching :)
you are the hardest working youtuber ever. Thanks for sharing and be safe!!!
Stay safe, please raise care..,
Being very careful what you do, where you go and even what you say. I'm so pleased at where you are at knowing that each video uploaded all is well. As you say you want to promote all that is good with day to day life and the wonderful friendly people which is clearly evident in this video whilst also touching on the struggles as a result of restrictions in place. The food certainly looked interesting. Top video champ. Cheers! 🤩 BTW congratulations on cracking the 60K subbie total. 10K more in just over 3 months. Pretty good. A lot of hard work and some exceptional videos and very well deserved. 🍻
Thanks Steven! Yes all safe and sound here thanks. About 9 more vids in the pipeline coming at you. 60k 🥳 Thanks for being part of the journey 🤗
Thanks for filming the Yangon. I left my home city "Yangon" 2 months ago and now I am living at abroad. I really miss my home and your video can take me back to Yangon back for a moment. Those roads you walked in the videos are full of my foot prints. Thanks for filming Yangon. It bring back my old memories ❤❤
Thank you so much 🙏 I’m pleased you feel this way and at the same time I sad the situation is like this at the moment. Hopefully you’re able to find your way home safely in the near future again ❤️
@@Chai_Travel Its true. Myanmar is once a very safe and enjoyable place. But suddenly, due to those military coup things, our country becomes the worst place to live. Many people lost their lives, lost their homes due to the burmese military. Many young burmese people including me had to separate with family and leave the country to avoid the military recruitment by forced. It is unsafe for burmese boys to travel in Myanmar. Because military can just kidnap into their recruitment without any reason. Hopefully when everything are over, I will be back to my country again.
Stay safe and never trust the words of military or police.
Wish you have a wonderful times in Myanmar ❤
*** Thank you for showing the reality of Rangoon today (May 2024). Your video is pretty informative so the World knows what's going on inside of the Capital.
Thank you too for watching :)
Thank you for a real insight into Myanmar.
Thank you too for watching 🤗
Good job, Chai 💐🥰 Thank you for showing us ❤️👌
Thanks again :D You're the best haha
it's been a year and half since i left Myanmar, it's very nostalgic looking every scene. Hope u had a safe trip.
I was there 14 years ago. That pagoda is the only place I was ripped off, wanted $20 after showing me around the temple, gave them $10. More than a days pay for most people in Burma. Other oddities were right hand drive cars driving on the right hand side of the road. The Generals decided to swap from left to right sometime in the 60s. The same Generals banned motor cycles on that side of the river on account of them getting in the way of their own personal cavalcade. The other side of the river is very interesting. I went over and was shown around by a young couple on a pedal Trishaw, he peddling and she tour guiding. Would love to have seen more of the country but the rainy season was particularly bad that year. Will go back one day but only if the politics changes.
Thanks for sharing:) hopefully things settle and you’re able to go back some day soon 🙏
Thank you for Stand and Save our Myanmar 😍😍
Thanks for your visit🙏💙
Can tourists get heroin easily out there
thank you❤ from myanmar
Thank you too ❤️
Great series. Thank you for bringing attention to this part of S.E.A.
Glad you enjoy it!🙂
Even though it’s an extremely tense place from the outside - I think people are living their lives & smiling . Really good seeing this and hopefully many can watch - Thank you my friend ✌️👋👍🙏
It is very special. So much poverty and people are still very lovely
Wow!
Excellent work!
Thank you
I am a Burmese living in the Netherlands and really great to see the updates of Yangon. Thank you very much.
Nice to meet you :) I hope the Dutch people are nice to you ❤️
big respect for that one guy on Shwedagon pagoda

Thank you for seeing me this way ❤️ this actually means a lot to me
Forgot to share this video (as I did with your others). Making up for it now. These are the only honest travelog Myanmar videos and deserve the widest possible sharing. Love and Peace to Myanmar and yourself.
Thanks so much! It really help when you do so 😊🙏
မဂ်လာပါ
Ok
Thank you for visiting myanmar
Hi Chai, thanks for showing us the current situation
Thank you too ❤️
What a good video. I feel sorry for the average people living in a civil war torn country. I wish peace and love for all.
Thank you 🙏 we’re wishing the same. Thanks for watching and have a good day
I love Yangon, and it is a great busy vibrant city, you are lucky it is safe now, Thanks Chai for sharing, appreciate it 🙏❣
Away a pleasure Fioretta :) thanks so much for watching again!
Thanks lovely Chai.Most of the people around the world they thought Myanmar is back to normal. Actually all of our people are struggling, surviving , repulsing and still against the junta. You are amazing. God bless you 🙏
Thank you. We all wish that is true 😔 hopefully things will be normal soon again and Myanmar can rebuild a peaceful society ❤️
Been 2015 , in love with country, met one awesome friend who gay and open school on Yangon, they food somehow hit me great and many things that i love in city and other town ❤

Prachtig! Stay safe
Bedankt! 🙏🙏 as always 🏆 groetjes 👋
Thank you for visiting Myanmar
Thank you for watching
Hi hello! Thanks so much for taking the time to visit Myanmar even when it's in bad conditions, we all appreciate you so much ❤I hope everything is going well for you, and for sharing the situation about Myanmar, you truly have a kind soul! Although I'm just a young teen and I may not know everything about this situation myself, my parents told me it's very dangerous even if it doesn't feel like it. And you could barely get a decent paying job these days, so my sister and dad are going to Thailand, and next year, my mom and I will go with them too! I wanna know if you ever visited Thailand, how is it like?
Hi hi, thank you for your introduction. I’m sure better times will come again. At the moment it’s important to trust the decisions of your parents. I’m sure they are very wise and strong. I am quite familiar with Thailand and many people from Myanmar are working there. I hope to make a few videos in Thailand for you that might be useful for you 🙏
Thank you for sharing. It is good to see street views. You showed respect to locals.
Thank you for watching :)
Thank you for visiting Myanmar which is a beautiful country and millions of innocent and friendly people live there. It is a country with rich of unique own culture and heritage. Myanmar people want to live peacefully. Every country all over the world has own laws that to be complied with by locals or foreigners. Myanmar is one of the world's sovereign and independent nation too. Sadly, Almost all western media express the country information with only negative side. The crisis can be resolved on the table peacefully and later via parliament after the new election held (assuming by next year) but the the rebel groups avoid it. They just bring troubles to the people. People have been suffering not because of the local crisis only but also because of the sanctions that obstruct the foreign investment that can create millions of local jobs. No matter what, Myanmar has many safe places which are free from rebels and people are still living peacefully there . People need to move forward in daily life.
Hopefully Myanmar and the people will gain peace all over the country soon.
What do you mean rebel group avoid it? What do mean rebel group cause trouble to people? Are you seriously? OMG I know you are from military organisation which kill many innocent people and destroy our country since 2021. We, the real people will never never accept those fake election which military will hold, it is not about rebel group, it is us, the Myanmar citizen. We will never accept military rule and that government never and never. People are not save in rebel group area. Yes it is true. Do you know why? It is because your military organisation always do air attacks and kills all people because that people don't accept them😂. How childish and disgusting your military group like you. Go away , Ball ma
Thanks for visiting myanmar 😊
Thank you too for watching 🙏
Very lovely people. Stunning architecture. Another UA-camr in Myanmar right now is posting videos that only show tourist attractions and food and not mentioning anything about war or how bad things are. They might be wise because the gov't might see your videos and come arrest you. That was sweet that you thought of Noona when holding the flowers.
Yeah I think when you’re posting and stay away from the real problems Myanmar faces right now and only show the tourist areas, don’t film in conflict areas, government buildings, army, and police, filming is not a problem. :) Noona is always on my mind 😅😊🥰
😂i laughed a lot when you eat fish paste😂 however i enjoyed all your videos from Myanmar 🇲🇲
Haha thanks 😝
big and beautiful temple
Great work brother 🎉❤
Thank you!
Good work Chai , i traveled through Myanmar from India and into Thailand back in 2015 , 4 months of unforgettable adventures , it really is a human tragedy whats happening there , please be safe
Thanks mate. I’m glad you had such an experience 🙏 unforgettable ❤️
Incredible look inside this wonky wartorn beautiful culture.
Thank You for visiting our country!!!!!🙆
No problem❤️ Thank you for watching
Hey Chai, I’m Jochen, Austrian/Dutch working for Sonne Social Organisation in Yangon, supporting communities in the slums and refugee camps. Please get in touch with me. Stay safe
Ey mate, a shame we haven’t met. For my own safety I’m posting this outside of Myanmar. I do want to get in touch with you. Maybe via email? info@chai-travel.com I’m traveling today and tomorrow so I’ll be a bit slow with my reply 🙏 cheers
Welcome to Myanmar, Be safe bro
Thank you ❤️
Hello Chai 👋
I’m a Burmese who lives now in Yangon City. As a burmese citizen
I want to ask for help to the Western citizens (Foreigners) like you. We are now under militery coup since 2021 1st February after 2020 Gov election. Its has been over 3yrs. We suffer so much violence especially in the undevelop area like abroad. In our country there has 8 National Races.
“Races
1. Kachin
2. Kayah
3. Kayin
4. Chin
5. Burma
6. Mon
7. Rakhine
8. Shan “
All races are suffering violence like Air Bombing. So many people across the country try to escape and run from these junta. We need helpppp.
So please share this situation “What’s happening in Myanmar”
to the humanitarian organizations as much as you can.
And I want to request you that please be safe my words and don’t tell anyone.
Love You Chai❤
The city has changed a lot since I was last there (2012). Back then all the cars were much older and falling apart (some missed a door or all the interior lining was missing).
Really sad for this situation . stay safe from Cambodia .
It is indeed :( Thank you
Hope u enjoy your travel in myanmar and thanks for sharing ur adventure :D
Thank you! 😃
Next time you should try visiting Taunggyi, it’s a really peaceful city, plus it’s a lot colder than Yangon and stuff! Went there on a trip before, it was refreshing!
it looks AWESOME there🤯
I really enjoy your videos, I admire your energy and willingness to do something different than most UA-cam channels,CRACK ON!!!!!!!!
Let's crack on! Hahah you know it ;p Thanks!
The iPhone footage looks impressive tbh, very stable, and you're walking pretty fast too
Thanks! Haha I try to keep it steady :P thanks for watching
I'm Myanmar. I lived in Yangon. Its not safe. Be careful
Thank you ❤️
Excellent video very interesting 👍 👌 👏 xx
Thank you :)
stay safe
Now I know more about Myanmar 🇲🇲 Chai
Thank you Thyda :)
I miss my place and hoping that to come back very soon.
I'm seeing this video with falling tears.
❤️ I hope things will get solved rather sooner than later 🙏 thank you for watching
19:41: I feel hungry too when I was watching your video there 😂
Yangon is so much beautiful !!
Such great food in Myanmar! 🤤
Hello chai good luck
Hi hi, Thank you
Thank you for visiting our country ❤and also thank you for speaking out our country’s current situation 😢 .
Myanmar 🇲🇲 our country was a peaceful freedom improved developed country yes it was 😢 . Yes it was in the past but now it is the opposite 😢😢 We are not happy. We don’t have enough electricity and the inflation rate is so high 😢. You should visit between 2015-2020 Myanmar was a peaceful beautiful country 🇲🇲
I wish you all the strength ❤️💪
Thank you 🙏
Be safe bro....Our country look likes too safe to visit. The safety situation always changes on the military coups. Every minutes are too dangerous to everyone. Thanks for ur soul for our country.
Thank you 🙏 hopefully it will get safer soon
I love how they have many sidewalks.
shout out to that gentleman who spoke the situation in Myanmar😭
Omg hii!!
I Love yangon🤩
Stay safe !
Thankn you
Love from Pakistan ❤
Love back ❤️
🙏 Hope that Myanmar could find a peaceful resolution.
Support our Mother Daw Aung Sann Suu Kyi Please
Yangon is very cool, colonial architecture and the food is awesome! Loved my few nights there years ago!
Cheers mate. It’s a gorgeous city 😍 hopefully things will settle soon
They don't look They are in war great attitude strong culture. I pray for this nation to get peace soon 🙏🏽
I'm born on Sunday too brother. Cheers
Nice one brother
@@Chai_Travel it's great to watch you walk around. I literally walked the same route last Wednesday. 😄
I’m glad that you’re not only gonna stay in Yangon but visit other parts and cities which few tourists have dared to go.
Be careful on the roads though! The journey to other parts of the country (especially the upper parts of the country; above mandalay) might be a little too dangerous and scary
Thank you 😊
Maybe it goes better, MAYBE ! No tourist go to Myanmar, so nobody knows that kind of food. Interesting Video to see. 🙏
Along the way u go to Shwedsgon Pagoda there’ve a roadside food place to have lunch also my favorite Myanmar restaurant too😅 every time when I visit Pagoda I would go there to have my food. ❤
yes bro
i remember i suggested Myanmar and you said it was on your to do list...such a coool place and people
try to get to Inle lake if its possible!!
Thanks mate :D haha yes it's a great place. I have to skip Inle Lake. I have been in 2013 and loved it there though. Thanks for watching again
Thanks for this help Our country has become very poor because it has come under the rule of the military. We love the military but we hate the military dictators. The army we accept must be an army that protects the people. The army must be under the people. The people must not be under the army.Our leader is Daw Aung San Suu Kyi. She is the queen of our country. She is over 79 years old very worrying.😢
Hi Chai, please be careful there, for your own safety and for the people you speak with.
Panna 🙏 thank you. Yes I’ll try to be as cautious as possible ❤️
Be blessed by Buddhas and your Gods!
I am a son if a burmese policeman.Some of the roads are just guarded with military or police in city/town entrances yeah the officers like CP alway chek tha gates if they are taking money on some gates without permission.Good cop Bad cop but some policemen are funny and friendly so don't get too worry about it😅.
last time when i was there I tried Betel....i did not feel any stimulating effect. only burning feel in gums, like strong spice. but teeth and mouth was red!
I have burmese friends who can cook and I can tell their foods are really good
I miss my home town Yangon 😢
❤️ I hope you're able to return some day soon
Very funny !😅 I'm taxi driver in Yangon.
Maybe they should switch to metric, life is better in meter. Love to see people wearing sarongs, that's what i'd wear if i ever have the chance to visit one day.
glad u finished the filming without getting arrested😂🎉
Man, was thinking about Myanmar/Burma the other day, and what would be the risks to go at least to Yangon and you made a video 😮 it's a lovely video, different than the usual, how much is the total cost for your trip, or is it still ongoing? And how much money did you exchange at the airport 🤔
Ey, the money exchange in town will give you better rates but it’s good to leave the airport with some local money in your pocket. Hotels starting from 20usd, food can be cheap as 1.- USD per meal. Please when visiting try to tip as much as possible 🙏 I hope this helps
That man really talk about myanmar current situation Coup force 18 to over 50 man to serve in military and some time they even arrest young man to serve in military without permission please shout out >>>>>>>>🌏
It’s so sad this is happening right now. Hopefully things will stop and go back to “normal”
