Dress and Respect: Burmese society is conservative. When visiting pagodas and temples, it is mandatory to cover your shoulders and knees. You should always take off your shoes before entering sacred spaces and private homes. The 'longyi' (traditional sarong) is comfortable and an excellent option for respectful dressing.

Social Etiquette: The traditional greeting is 'Mingalabar'. It is considered disrespectful to touch someone's head, as it is the most sacred part of the body. Likewise, you should not point at anyone or any Buddha image with your feet, the lowest part of the body.

Money: The local currency is the Kyat (MMK). Although ATMs are becoming more common in cities, it is advisable to carry enough cash, especially in rural areas. U.S. dollars in mint condition (no wrinkles or marks) are often accepted in hotels and for large purchases.

Health and Safety: Always drink bottled water. It is advisable to have comprehensive travel insurance. Due to the complex political situation in the country, always inform yourself about safe areas to travel and avoid regions with active conflicts or access restrictions for tourists.
