'''Myanmar''', or '''Burma''', is a country in [[South-Eastern Asia]]. Although most people (and especially the stupid "Loney Planet Myanmar" book) connect Myanmar only with its bad government, this is not the whole story and should not be the only fact to focus on. Rather it is much more worth seeing Myanmar how it really is: A beautiful country, with hospitable and friendly people and an incredible rich culture. This country has so much to give, it is awesome.
2019: There are still conflicts around Myanmar and travel restrictions to many areas. Be sure to check whether your intended road is allowed for foreigners, or you might put locals at risk by hitching a ride from them in a prohibited area. DON’T accidentally enter from Thailand into Tachileik: That areas is surrounded by prohibited areas on all sides and from there you cannot access the rest of Myanmar any other way than overpriced (100 USD I think) plane.
BORDERS 2019: Bangladesh: not crossable, India: crossable in 2018 and 19 but situation can change quickly, LAOS: somehow crossable but not easy, Thailand: easily crossable
