Why You NEED to Visit Myanmar! | Irrawaddy River Cruise from Bagan to Mandalay 🇲🇲
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 гру 2019
- During our final days in Myanmar, we took an Irrawaddy River Cruise from Bagan to Mandalay. A slow boat that takes around 12 hours from sunrise to sunset. The perfect way to reflect on a life altering trip.
The Irrawaddy or Ayeyarwady River flows from north to south through Myanmar. It is the country's largest river and most important commercial waterway. But it's the incredible sunrise views that we really wanted to see.

MESSAGE FROM 2021: During my time in Myanmar, I saw plenty of amazing sights, but there was one constant: the people. Always smiling, always kind and always welcoming. I’ve never known hospitality like it in all of my travels… But these kind people are currently being denied basic rights by an evil military junta who refuse to recognise democracy. Protesters are being detained and everyone is under a full internet blackout. I stand with the people of Myanmar against this oppression 🇲🇲
I have been to Myanmar 3 times. The people are the finest you will meet anywhere in the world! You are right they are always smiling, kind and welcoming even though they have been through so much horror in the past! Now the military are back to ruin the country again and we MUST not stay silent!
Stop the coup, free Aung San Suu Kyi, restore the NLD government and jail the coup leaders.
THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING!
And that's it for the Myanmar series! 🇲🇲We had such an incredible time here and this is probably the 6 episodes that I'm most proud of on this channel so far. The sights, the sounds and the people of this country really blew me away - so THANK YOU ALL for watching!
The next video is going to be a pretty special one... In fact, it's a bit of a Holiday Special! See you then! 🎅⛄️
PS we're less than 150 subs away from 5000... Can we do it before the new year?!
Holy cow! That was one amazing sunrise! We never take politics into consideration when we visit a country. You aren't going because of that, you are going because you want to meet the people, learn about the culture, the food, the languages and of course see the historical places. People and Politics are not the same thing as you kind of say in the video when you are talking about the Myanmar people.
There would be so many countries that we couldn't visit if we only thought about the politics. In fact probably all the countries around the world at the moment haha!
Anyway, great edit as always and the story comes together very nicely! Thanks for making such a beautiful series about SE Asia's most underrated destination!
Timezone Junkies thanks guys. Whilst I do see what you are saying, I think it's important to always be aware of the politics of the country you visit. With so much going on in the media, I thought it would be irresponsible not to acknowledge that as a filmmaker
Glad to hear you enjoyed your time over in our beloved Country of Myanmar. Thanks for coming over
Thank you for welcoming us!
Thank you for making beautiful videos of our country
Thank you so much for welcoming us! We will be back one day 😊
My favourite sunrise of the whole trip captured so beautifully
Mine too!
@@OneShotAdventures Haha you guys are cute. Talking to each other in the comments :)
@@maike2356 Haha

Absolutely! Have watched them all 😅
Great video .I was travelling in Myanmar 2019 and it was so nice and one of my favorites country and hope I can go again to see more of this beautiful country , My first time I have been in Myanmar and fly from Kuala Lumpur to Yangon and fly to Mandalay and I took boat same you did to Bagan on Irrawaddy river and fly to Yangon again....I LOVE MYANMAR after mt 2weeks trip
Just finished binging your entire Myanmar series. As a half Burmese person living in Myanmar, I need to thank you for showcasing the wonders of my country. Both the rohingya genocide situation and the current dictatorship(not to mention the mainstream media only showcasing the worst of my country) have been making me feel hopeless and embarrassed and ashamed of my culture and heritage. This series has brought me comfort during these trying times. Thank you
Thank you so much for sharing this. Burmese people are very special to us, everywhere we went people made us feel so welcome. We hope to be back one day. Happy new year!
Thanks for your visiting Myanmar. Now I’m away from my country. I really miss my own country.
Amazing 😍.. Thanks for visiting our country Myanmar.. 🙏🙏Have a luckiest day..
Thank you for welcoming us!
Thank you so much for the video ❤️
oh my god these colors 😍 the sky looks sooo magical. what a great adventure you had, you make me want to book this cruise as well!
The water of the sun reflecting in the beach is so impressive. Wow, that was at 4:30AM, so early in the morning but it was a great trip, wasn't it? That freezing cold would keep me from waking up that early, haha.
That's very unique way to travel. Glad I'm able to tag along the journey with this video.
This is amazing. I was born in the ayeyarwaddy division. The river is a symbol of the country. And the division is the “ rice pot” of the country. It’s beautiful isn’t it? There’re something called zay thin baw which means market boats. These boats begins from north, picked up local products along the shore at its different stops, while selling the already picked up goods from stops before. It’s like exchanging goods at every stops along the shore. U can literally buy any goods from north to south coz of these market boats/ships. I dont know if they still have it or not. But it’s my childhood pleasure to buy small pottery kitchen utensil to buy as a toy, and bamboo claps. I love them so much when i was little girl. I had an amazing childhood.
That must've been an amazing journey! Thnx for sharing. Loved it. As always :) see you guys!
Thanks Maike!
Many thanks come to visit our country and say to the world 'This country is Safe and nice"
I always watching every upload your video file on UA-cam
Thank you
What an amazing video, everything is good about it, so good, I actually subscribed to the channel, I want to see more. Cheers
Thanks!!
Amazing how you described Myanmar at the end kinda makes me wanna go there, even though it isn't on any of my wish lists... Who knows, maybe someday. Great job!
Cheers again!
Those colours are lush man! Nicely composed shots.
"Taking the longer line round can be insanely rewarding" agreed!
Thanks man!
Your videos are stunning, I've taken a lot of inspiration from them to develop my own videos so thank you! Really looking forward to the Malaysia series! :)
Thanks again guys!
Loved it, Liked it and now commenting even though I'm still half way through 😊. Have always enjoyed your work. Would love to co-create someday. Cheers 👏👏👏
Thank you so much!
5 in the morning! Glad the view was worth it all, can be a gamble sometimes... but that sunrise was so picturesque 😍
yeah it was amazing
What a great way to travel…by boat! Wow…such an amazing adventure! Your videos are so good…seriously, I’m guessing you’ll have your own TV show before too long! What a great way to end your time in Myanmar…gorgeous shots! Nice to have free coffee and food provided 😎 Bummer you got sick, but it’s bound to happen when you travel full time. Thanks for sharing your adventure!
Thanks so much guys!
fantastic video and editing!
Thanks James!
What a beautiful journey of reflection on the Irrawaddy. Definitely not about getting from point to point the fastest way, though I made my epic journey after Mandalay. I'm so with you on thoughts on Myanmar. Honestly one of the most inspiring and pleasurable places I've ever travelled in. 😀 Can't wait to see what you make of the country where I grew up!
Spoiler alert: we love Malaysia 😜
@@OneShotAdventures Yay! Can't wait to see the ins and outs of your Adventures
Way to find that escape, and have that moment to soak it all in!!! Reminds me of a ride I did into Laos once. Glad you had a great journey.
Thanks man, the sunrise was amazing!
@@OneShotAdventures Happy Holidays Ryan, Can't wait to see how you rock out 2020!!!! Give er this New years EVE!!!!
@@21Swayzee Happy Holidays to you brother, your family too! Can't wait to see what you guys get up to in 2020!
I can never get over your amazing storytelling and editing skills. That sunrise was simply gorgeous and with free coffee, what more could you want? Myanmar is actually next on my list in terms of Asian countries. How did you find traveling around Myanmar? Was it easy or hard? Did it feel safe? Maybe I should just watch the rest of your series, hehe 😂
Haha you might find the series useful! Honestly though it's a very easy country to travel around. Transport is brilliant, people are super friendly and welcoming. Never felt unsafe at all. Feel free to to message me on fb if you want any tips!
@@OneShotAdventures Awesome, thank you! Just watching more of your series now 😎
Love your video.
I really like how you show all the sides of our country instead of the tourist sites.
Would be nice if there is more about the food culture?
Foodie here😁😁
Thank you for inviting us to Myanmar 😄😃😃
Welcome to Myanmar 🙏😇😇
Great and enjoy, Thank you
Thank you for watching 😊
What a beautiful boat ride. Sometimes you do need to just have some time to yourself and relax, as traveling can become very tiring with early daily starts. I like to slow travel as well and I would have opted for the boat as well. Sorry to hear you got sick!
Totally agree, slow travel is the best!
Nice one! Was the night version view done in post? Very cool. We opt to not go to Myanmar due to the same reason during our south east Asia trip, especially with kids. Thank you for showing what I have been missing. Hopefully one day we have the opportunity to visit.
Yeah I added the night vision effect in post. It's a beautiful country and we never felt unsafe.
Ryan you are incredible. This video blew me away, the colours are amazing and your eye for detail is fantastic. I know you're currently having a ball in Thailand (I follow you on insta, I'm not a stalker 🤣) but just wanted to say I'm eagerly awaiting your Thailand vlogs. Thanks for all your efforts making these fantastic videos. 👍
Wow thanks so much for the kind words! I am getting very close to finishing the next Thailand vlog - I know I have been very slow with it!
Thanks for visiting Myanmar.
Thank you for welcoming us!
I agree. Waking up early and freezing weather is totally worth it when the views are so incredible! I have spent 8hrs on a river cruise in Germany with my toddler! Not easy, but yeah, the views are totally worth it! Did you manage to spot any of those local dolphins? Its a beautiful wrap-up of your trip!
You're brave to do that with a toddler! We didnt spot any dolphins that day which was a shame
Oh yea! Those views! What a way to start the day with those colors! I am so happy you followed your heart and took
the trip! Are you getting sick from the food?
I'm not actually sure how I got sick... Luckily I was better pretty quickly!
@@OneShotAdventures Good!
That sunrise! You sold it to me right there! Also, traveling by boat is so different, I personally really enjoy it (did it in Cambodia). Did you get food poisoning at the end of the trip? Hope you got better quickly.
Yeah I'm pretty sure it was food poisoning, although i'm sure where I picked it up. I was fine after a few days rest!
The view is amazing. I like your narration, which is very confident and assuring. Were there a lot of mosquitoes on the river?
None at all!
Your video really treats to the eye, so beautifully done, Love the sunrise view, Bagan is really nice. Which editing software do you use? is it premiere pro?
roamonurown com I use Final Cut X 😊
@@OneShotAdventures ahhh, I use filmora, unfortunately don't own mc book that's why can't use FCP :(. Love your editting and the shots
Honestly I really don't think editing software matters that much. Final Cut may have more flexibility than Filmora, but you can make great videos with both
Good thing they had a handrail to hold onto while getting onto the boat; I know April would definitely need it, hahaha! That sunrise is absolutely amazing! Especially with the reflection in the river...Incredible! Reminds of that line from Forrest Gump... What kind of books does Emma enjoy reading, April wants to know? Did you see any dolphins on your journey? Seems like a fun way to get from one place to another--was there anything you didn't care so much for? Did the boat have any charging capabilities? Another very well done film, Yoda!
Thanks guys, as always! Emma mainly likes reading fiction - anything really! The boat was actually really comfortable, only bad thing was the sunburn haha. You don't notice when the wind is on you...
April is a reader, but not really in the past few years--especially since she became so involved on the channel. Lol, you two are wayyy too fair-skinned to think you can go without sunscreen! 😎
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap Hahaha so true
You didn't say, were you able to charge electronics while on the boat?
@@GoTravelOnTheCheap Oh yeah sorry - I'm pretty sure there were some power points... But not 100% sure
Excellent excellent excellent just finished all of your Vlogs... really enjoyed the narration the videoing and the editing… I’ve got a feeling that you were in that game at some point in your life… I think I watch most travel vlogs to get tips on when I’m going to travel the world… Your V logs do stand out a lot I think it’s because you just seem to be a bit more professional than most.. What I would like to see more of though if you could be bothered is… More information on the gaffs that you rent.. how much they cost etc etc .. I always find it interesting of what people pack and bring with them what is essentials... I know it’s corny but maybe do a V log about your bag and what you use camera wise and what you bring with you that’s always quite interesting... and the last thing is… I take it your girlfriend is a tad shy… But it’s always more interesting when it’s a couple… Overall very good though really is mate well done and thanks
Thanks for the feedback, it's really helpful. I could definitely make more videos like those and I have been meaning to. My only issue at the moment is that I have a backlog of about 30 videos to make before I get onto filming some new ones haha. I'm sure I can get onto making different stuff in the new year. Thanks again mate, really appreciate the compliments
One Shot Adventures
lol, holy shit, 30 vids behind!!! Pull ya finger out son!!! Must be really hard thou , trying to enjoy your travels but vloging all the time..right pain in the arse..HOWEVER, if you get enough subs it will pay for your travel and more!!! thought it was a bit strange when you said you are in Myanmar at the end of 2018 ..thought it was a speech typo..lol ...well.. I think you’ve got talent , and you could just make it as a travel vloger.. good luck
Haha I really do need to pull my finger out, probably enjoying the travelling a bit too much haha. Thanks again mate, really means a lot!
How much it cost for a single trip?
How much for the boat trip? Great channel you have superior to most of the fluff crap out there. You deserve all the subscribers you can get.
We paid about $25 USD each, which included food, drinks and taxi to the boat
