About Myanmar
Myanmar formerly Burma is a Southeast Asian nation of more than 100 ethnic groups, bordering India, Bangladesh, China, Laos, and Thailand. Yangon, the country's largest city, is home to bustling markets, numerous parks and lakes, and the towering, gilded Shwedagon Pagoda, which contains Buddhist relics and dates to the 6th century.

During March and April where temperatures will rise considerably, especially in central areas in and around the former capital city of Yangon. The hot weather is a prelude to Burma's monsoon season which takes place from May all the way through the summer months of June, July, and August. Rain tends to fall in the afternoon and early evening with several resorts along the coast, including Ngapali Beach, closing down completely. September and October are still soggy, particularly in central and southern areas, whilst Mandalay, in the north, will start to see less rain and steadier temperatures.
