View full guideBurmese 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.
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.
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.
