The Republic of the Union of Myanmar is located in Southeast Asia between Thailand and Bangladesh and bordering on the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea. The population is about 55 million people. Although Myanmar is the country’s official name, the opposition, as well as some other countries, still use the name Burma since they question the authority of the ruling military and present government to change the name of the country.
From 1962 to 2011, Burma was ruled by a very suppressive military regime. In 2010 the first general election in 20 years took place. Although there were allegations of widespread fraud, the election was seen as a very important step towards democracy. In March 2011, a unitary presidential parliamentary government took power. A president is the chief of state and head of government. In 2012 parliamentary by-elections were held. The pro-democracy opposition party and its leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, won a landslide victory and parliamentary seats.
Myanmar’s economy suffers from years of stagnation, isolation, and government corruption. The country is rich in fertile soil, precious gems, teak, and offshore gas and oil. The general population, however, does not benefit from these resources. Myanmar is beginning to encourage tourism, mainly in Rangoon, Ngapali Beach, Inle Lake, Bagan, and Mandalay. Tourist facilities are limited or nonexistent in many parts of the country.

Myanmar (Burma)中的安全性
人身安全
Crime rate has increased since the February 2021 coup d’état. Petty theft, mugging, and burglary do occur in Myanmar. There have been some reports of violent crime toward foreigners. Always be alert and aware of your surroundings. Ensure that your personal belongings, passports and other travel documents are secure at all times
Have two photocopies of valuable papers, such as passport, tickets, etc., and keep one copy in a separate location. You could be required to show a passport and visa to authorities when travelling by air or rail and staying at hotels.
Avoid carrying excessive cash. Avoid showing signs of wealth to minimize the risk of becoming a target for theft.
Get permission from the Myanmar tourist authorities before travelling outside Rangoon, as there are officially-designated tourist areas. Travel is strictly controlled in this country.
Transportation can be dangerous in Myanmar due to aggressive driving, badly maintained roads, lack of street lighting, and people and animals on the roads. Avoid travelling by road at night. It is illegal to drive in Myanmar without a valid Myanmar driver’s license. Air, rail, and public transportation often do not meet international safety standards and can be dangerous. Fatal accidents have occurred.
For sports and adventure activities, ensure you have proper safety equipment. The safety standards in this country may not meet expected standards.
Only use taxis with red license plates, as these are registered taxis.
Penalties for drug-related crimes are severe and include the death penalty.
It is against the law to photograph military installations or military personnel.
Never touch or pat a child on the head. This is considered offensive.
Medications sold in Myanmar may be counterfeit. Ensure you have adequate supplies of your prescription medications or other medical supplies you may need. Keep your prescriptions and medicines in the original containers or packaging.
極端暴力
Since the military takeover, the incidence of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and attacks has increased, resulting in a highly volatile environment where violence occurs across the entire country. Civil unrest and acts of politically motivated violence may occur anywhere and at any time, particularly leading up to and during days or events of national significance. Such attacks usually occur in major cities such as Yangon, Mandalay, and Nay Pyi Taw, targeting public venues frequented by foreigners. Other regions include parts of Chin, Kachin, Kayin, Rakhine, and Shan states, as well as the Sagaing and Magway regions. There is also a high risk of clashes between armed groups and the military in major urban centres.
政治動盪
There is the potential for political violence. As the political scenario in Myanmar is unstable and unpredictable, there is a higher likelihood of opposition attacks and an increased presence of security forces. Some areas in Myanmar are under a state of martial law; others may have curfews or’stay at home’ orders. In the case of Yangon (and a few other townships), there is a curfew from midnight until 4 a.m. Demonstrations take place regularly across the country, particularly in Yangon and Mandalay. Security forces have been using excessive and lethal force against protesters in several locations, which has resulted in many casualties. National dates of significance may see rallies and silent strikes, and there’s a higher likelihood of opposition attacks.
應避免的區域
Travellers are advised to avoid unnecessary travel to the border areas with China, Thailand, India, Bangladesh, and Laos due to armed conflict, banditry, and areas with landmines. Due to ongoing violence and volatile situation, many casualties along with disruptions in road and rail travel have been reported in parts of Chin (Paletwa Township), Kachin, Rakhine, and northern Shan States.
