Health & Clothing
Even though no vaccinations are required for entry to Myanmar, please consult your family physician about immunization requirements such as malaria and hepatitis. You should drink only bottled water and exercise caution when eating from street vendors and small local restaurants.
Cotton clothing and a light wrap for the evenings during the cool season are recommended. Do not wear shorts, tank tops or sleeveless blouses, especially when visiting temples, pagodas and monasteries. Dress modestly at all times; revealing clothing is frowned upon in Myanmar. Footwear must be removed before entering a temple/pagoda.
