In-Depth Information
Newly opened again to the public is this melancholic, suburban-English-style 'palace'
where Mr Donald, nephew of the last
sao pha
(sky lord) of Hsipaw, and his wife are your
charming hosts.
Spot estuarine crocodiles, rare Irrawaddy dolphins and masses of birds cruising through
the mangroves around this island sanctuary a day's travel south of Yangon.
Opening Up the Country
Four cross-border checkpoints with Thailand can now be used to enter or exit Myanmar;
there's a chance in 2014 that the crossing into China at Mu-se will also be freely open in
both directions without the need for permits. This, in conjunction with an easing of re-
strictions on some of the places you can travel in Myanmar, is expanding the range of it-
ineraries and adventures to be had. See
