🇲🇲| I JUST LEFT MYANMAR! What Can YOU Expect visiting Myanmar in 2024?

Is Myanmar safe to visit? What can you expect visiting Myanmar in 2024/2025? Do I recommend going to Myanmar right now? What should you be careful of? I hope to answer most of your questions here. If you do have any questions, feel free to leave a comment 🤗
🌟 Want to help me to help others?
My mission is to make more people aware of the situation while trying to help as much as I can. Up until today, not one NGO can be transparent about the activities they are doing within Myanmar, so I had to be creative how we can help some of the people in need. We can not stop the war, but we can help people in need who are effected by the war.

Thank you Chai for visiting to our country. I would not recommend the tourist to go to our country during this uncertain time as a Myanmar citizen. After all this is not eternal, the light will be brighter after the darkness. Might is not always right. Right is mightier than Injustice.

[@Chai_Travel]

Thank you! I really hope better times will come soon ❤️ everyone should try to visit Myanmar at some point after all this is over 🙏🏆

[@user-oz2do3tk1i]

As a Burmese, you well said about visiting situation as a foreigner and I think you are fair enough. Thank you for visiting Myanmar 🇲🇲. You are helping Myanmar citizens a little bit better. Thank you, Chai. 🫰

[@Chai_Travel]

Thank you so much for saying this ❤️ I hope I can leave a footprint and keep on supporting 🙏 hopefully I’m able to return one day soon again

[@aungmyintoo4635]

Thank you for showing Myanmar to the world during this time when no body dare to come visit Myanmar.

[@Swampzoid]

I very much enjoyed your Myanmar series. I want to visit someday. I'm glad you made it back safely. 😀

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks Swampzoid! 😊 me too! Hey hopefully the situation calms down soon and we can all go visit this amazing country again ❤️

[@WinminMech]

Welcome from myanmar.

[@ericpineiro2427]

I am a foreigner living in Mandalay, but I will leave soon due to the situation! I applaud your efforts to raise funds for those who have been affected by war. Little do sanctimonious keyboard warriors know how much Myanmar people are struggling! I feel that Myanmar is not my country, so I shouldn’t stay. I want to return to Myanmar after the war and help them rebuild. Myanmar people are always grateful when foreigners make an effort to help their country. They don’t deserve what’s happening… This video accurately represents what being a tourist in Myanmar is like and the ethics of the matter well.

[@Chai_Travel]

Mate, sadly because of them keyboard warriors I appreciate your comment even more. I hope you're able to leave Myanmar safely and more I hope you will be able to return to Myanmar soon again and see it as your home again ❤️ Thank you!

This series was good. I think you’ll look back at it in a few years time and see the influence it will have had on your career as a creative. Enjoy KL!

Thanks Armand! I've received your donation btw. Thank you so much for helping out. That's very generous of you. I'll add it to the list asap and slowly, we're able to help the community over there even more than we've already did ❤️ Stay champ

[@uppnattm2008]

Well Done, brother. You described the situation very well. It’s fluid now and not in a good way. I lived before and after the coup, teaching in Lashio, Mandalay, Magway and Kalaw. I feel as though the people of this beautiful country touched your heart as they did mine. I returned to the US in late June 2021 when I saw nothing good coming from the developments. Of course I brought my lovely Myanmar wife, to get away from certain struggles that have now been realized. We both look forward to returning to live when the injustice is vanquished. Peace to you, my new friend. I will continue to follow your journeys. 🙏🙏🙏

[@Chai_Travel]

Thank you! Hopefully things will get better soon again and you and your wife can go back to visit or even to live again 🙏 Thanks for following my journey. Stay in touch

[@mitsunori222000]

Thank you, Chai. People watching this series will appreciate your efforts to be as fair as you can be, and encouraging visitors to help the Myanmar people where possible. Every little counts and keeps hope alive.

[@ayechit4630]

Your purpose of visiting Myanmar is respectable. If other foreigners feel the way you think, tourism will help the economic activities of the locals somehow. Thank you for all your videos while visiting Myanmar.

[@1xm_mx1]

I am from Myanmar. You're safe as long as you do touristy things and go to touristy places: the junta wants tourist dollars to run their military machine to stay in power. However, if you are a journalist who wants to get the truth about the junta and the civil war, you will not be safe at all. That said, I'm glad you enjoyed the trip and back safely.

Thank you so much for showing your appreciation ❤️

[@stevens8785]

Nice summary Chai and an excellent way to close this chapter in your travels. All good intentions clearly. Back to KL, nice one mate. So caught up in the Euros I've been a tad slack viewing KZbin. Go the Dutch, you were robbed v France. Should have been a 1-0 result. All the best champ. 🤩

[@Chai_Travel]

Thanks! Man, I've just noticed! We totally forgot about the mach! Fingers cross we do better next game. Happy Saturday!‘

[@KyawtThuza]

Actually Myanmar has 3-4 gas fields for good production but last 25-26 yrs ago the government at that time (also military regime ) had agreed with Thai government to sell the gas from Myanmar ! The government sell all gas production to Thailand and Myanmar ppl has no electricity ! They sell 1-2 millions dollars per day to Thailand! So that Bangkok and other industrial zone have electricity but we are in the dark! Sad for my country

[@kcchung3309]

thank you a lot from Myanmar, of course, Myanmar is not definitely safe. we need help from the world. As you mentioned, we young people between 18 and 35 have to serve in the army as solider without long-term training and practice.in other countries, Soldiers are heroes and defend from danger but in Myanmar soldiers are killers.

Can you walk into a bank to exchange even when you don’t have account with them ? I used to do that when I visited Mexico.

[@Chai_Travel]

Yes you can. But I wouldn't go into a bank as the rates are probably not great. I'd go to a small exchange shop

[@daniel385]

No big deal but at least in the US we pronounce junta with a silent "j" so it sounds like "un-ta." Also, the word "coup" has a silent "p" at the end, so it sounds like "coo" or "koo." Don't forget, it's "at war" and not "in war." Otherwise, great job. Thanks for another interesting video.

[@Chai_Travel]

Aw haha that’s actually really nice of you! That’s for the correction. I actually know but I don’t seem to learn😅 thanks again 🙏🤟🏼

[@Wizerud]

The cringey grammar police are here. No one had any doubt what Chai meant in any of the examples you gave. How they pronounce anything in the US is irrelevant. He’s not in the US nor is he American.

Which is the safest place to do money exchange in Yangon

Not all people in the army and police are horrible that's right but the thing is these not so horrible people will do everything they are order to do so from the above. They are friendly to tourists but it's a different story for everyone who are against the junta. They will treat you like a terrorist after watching your videos for sure.

I'm afraid so :(

[@jonasjohnsson4429]

Thanks for the video. But can you show any real proof that Myanmar is selling electricity to other countries!? I doubt that! What country would trust a steady delivery of electricity from Myanmar that has had a kind of independence war since Great Britain left them?

[@Chai_Travel]

Fair question. My understanding it has always the case but, at the moment the power cuts are way longer. Prove no, not hard evidence. This would be very difficult to get.

[@OzScalemodeling]

Your creating content for your channel to attract new viewers and keep them watching ! That's what you do as a You-tuber. What your showing is just like its been there over at least the last 15 years I have been visiting. Sure the war has been in the media more and it flairs up now and then but it no less safe to visit Burma and all the amazing tourist sights.... But But But you say... just like your other videos of Burma your dramatizing it for views. The people need tourism as much as they always have. Your other videos were turning people away...

[@Chai_Travel]

Hi there, sorry you feel this way about the efforts I put into this Myanmar series. My main focus was to have a positive impact on my stay and I believe I am accomplishing this, just a little. There are only a handful of people who are considering going to Myanmar at the moment and this is NOT because of hyped media or “KZbinrs” like me who are (in your eyes) dramatizing the situation. This is because the country is very unstable at the moment due to the military coup. I think I understand why you feel this way if you just watched this video of Chai Travel 🙏

[@jim.pearsall]

I’ve been to Myanmar before the current situation. I don’t agree with your decision to visit the country during this civil war and support anti-democratic junta. North Korea next for you? CRINK. 👎🏻🤦🏻‍♂️

My visit was clearly NOT a pro junta mission. I guess you never watched any of my Myanmar videos, either this one. I understand why you judge this way 🙏 This channel is only active in South East Asia.
