Check weather before you go:
Before planning for a Myanmar tour, do not forget to check timing and weather. Myanmar is located in the monsoon region of Asia with three seasons in a year: the cool, relatively dry northeast monsoon (late October to mid-February), the hot, dry inter-monsoonal season (mid-February to mid-May), and the rainy southwest monsoon (mid-May to late October).
Fun Facts for your best Myanmar holiday:
There are no family or surnames in Burma
The giving of a name depends on the day of the week a child was born. The name must include one or more of the birth day's consonants. There is one group for each day of the week (which incidentally has 8 days, Wednesday being divided into two days for astrological purposes).
Around Pagodas there are shrines for each of the 8 days and it is auspicious to worship at ones' relevant shrine. The Burmese lunar calendar has exactly 28 days in each month
Festivals take place according to the position of the moon - usually the full moon day. Better you can arrange your Myanmar tour in this time.
Pagodas (stupas) or Temples were conceived as visual monuments to Buddha. Generally, they don't have an interior. They are cosmic symbols, their presence benefits mankind and their construction will benefit a donor's rebirth (merits) … to eventual enlightenment. This is why Burma's landscape is littered by millions of them
Burmese people put great faith in nats (spirits)
Every house (note every) has a family shrine to the Lord Buddha and household nats.
If you have two weeks or so, the very first Myanmar tour package should be for 'the big four' of the country, situated nearby one another in the center of Myanmar: Yangon, Bagan, Mandalay, and Inle Lake. Each one of these, though, is worth a private visit of several days.

The temperatures also change by altitude so the hill stations, lakes and Himalayan foothills are far cooler than the southern lowland and coastal regions.
Others are in the rainy season, especially, sometimes at the peak of this season, some regions become inaccessible and some beaches have to suffer the high winds and heavy rainfall that batter the coast annually.

What food do they eat in Myanmar?
In Myanmar, the culinary style of the coastal region differs from inland areas. The coastal region, including Yangon, fish sauce and ngapi (fermented seafood) are more favored. For inland provinces, they often use more meat and sometimes fish and shrimp. Rice is the main course of their meals.
