Miscellaneous: There are NO ATM's in Myanmar. Take plenty of preferably US$$$ - to get you through your holiday. We met people who didn't know this, or ran out of money, and they had no choice but to pay up to 30% commission in hotels which took cards - if you could find one. It is a CASH country.

Malaria tablets, sunblock and insect repellants are a necessity.
