Less well-known than Cambodia‘s Angkor Wat, but perhaps even more impressive, the Bagan Historical Park is filled with over two-thousand ancient stone pagodas dating back to the 9th century, and ranging from small shrines to massive temples.

From beautiful palaces to ancient and mysterious temples, Mandalay has it all. Don’t miss a walk amongst the world’s largest book and the chance to spot a rare pink river dolphin.

The train from Yangon (Rangoon) to Mandalay may be rough, but nothing can beat a perfect day spent on a relaxing river boat cruising up the legendary Irrawaddy River from Mandalay to the ancient capital Bagan.

Visit Yangon to see it for yourself before it begins to become popular with tourists. These are 10 of the very best sites in the city.

Once again, I open the pages of my ever-present travel journal to bring to life the story of one of my greatest adventures; my incredible journey across the mysterious, golden land of Burma.

This gallery contains a collection of photos from my trip to Burma. If you’ve read my latest book, Across a Golden Land, you can see some photos from the places that I have described here!

Is it really all that bad? Last Baht reviews the Burmese (Myanmar) night train that runs between Yangon and Mandalay.
