WARNING: A nationwide state of emergency remains in force, with nighttime curfews enforced in many cities including Yangon. Avoid facilities and vehicles linked to security forces and military administration, monitor local media closely, and keep in regular contact with your embassy.
Ethnic armed organisations are waging a large-scale offensive in Northern and Eastern Myanmar from the Chinese-Myanmar border. Martial law is imposed in part of Shan State, and border crossings along the Chinese-Myanmar border are suspended. There are reports that the prices of many necessities is soaring. Many governments advise against all travel to Myanmar, though the main tourist circuit comprising of Yangon, Mandalay, Bagan and Inle Lake is far-removed from the violence and generally safe to visit — corroborated by the UK government's travel advice. |

Myanmar (မြန်မာ myanma), or Burma is a country in Southeast Asia. The country features awe-inspiring ancient temples, lively local markets, and captivating landscapes, such as unspoiled beaches, picturesque hills, and verdant forests. The genuine warmth of the Burmese people, combined with delectable cuisine, creates an ideal destination for gastronomes and culture aficionados alike.
Since the 1960s, the country has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. For a considerable period, Myanmar has been afflicted with political instability, sectarian violence, corruption, inadequate infrastructure, and a prolonged history of colonial exploitation that paid scant attention to human development.
