Ten years after my first time in Myanmar (Burma) I went back. I decided to not go to any places I have been in 2006, but just stay in the south. Still very few tourists. The road all the way south was closed to foreigners until 2014.
I walked most of the time and hitched many rides with the super nice locals. I still love this country.
