Entering War-Torn Myanmar in 2024 🇲🇲

[@travelescapesOFFICIAL]

I visited Myanmar years ago, some of the friendliest people in the world, which is why what's happening there is so horrible. Mainstream media practically ignores it, and it doesn't get the international attention it deserves. The Burmese people deserve much better. Thanks for covering this topic!

[@LukeDamant]

Yeah, such a terrible situation going on there. People in power need to go

Glory again??😅 Mayanmar and whole Southen East Asia 🌏 was controlled by India's core royal families even modern Indian's doesn't know these but I know because I born in a royal family in Bangladesh but sadly some ☪️ ancer people destroyed our country 🤦 and we have to leave Bangladesh and go to India ....and we find much similar to Thailand and etc countries sanatani culture 🤨if I could change history then that whole part of be one country 🤔and central Asia was already under empires control so, it would be an huge and super power Country but it's also impossible because half of world population live in that place

Hey Luke, it's me Samuel from the video. Again, thank you for visiting our country during such a dangerous time. 🙏 And for clarification, the embassy fees was not just $1. It was something and 1$ (eg. $251, $431, etc), and the bills my cousin had were only 100s, so the embassy could not return the change. And in the video, I went to him to buy a single $1 bill - which means that I'm paying for it. However, he gifted me $20 instead. My dad literally told him that I would pay for it even though he said it was a "gift" - at 27:34 . But Luke said, "No, no, you take it."

I am so excited you visiting Myanmar as I ever wondered watching your series in the region. It is good to be cautious meanwhile there are many territories are autonomy areas.

I hope you safe and sound during the visit and the flood is something significant within some part of Myanmar. I wish I would be there to help you with better tips. Anyway, I suggest to stay tuned for breaking news regarding flood and battles. Be safe Luke and hope for the best.

When people say a country is dangerous that doesn't mean you get unalived the moment you step foot in it lol the chances of anything happen almost anywhere Is slim. it is more likely to be dangerous if you spend a lot of time there

[@EddieManning]

Agreed. Or go to areas that are currently under siege. Yangon is totally fine. The Burmese are such lovely gracious people. We went to Yangon last year (March 2023) and had a lovely vist - my 3rd time. Sure, things are very different from my last visit in early 2020. Difficult for the locals with blackouts and sanctions and internet restrictions. Still, totally safe in the city for visitors. I studied travel advice from the UK, EU and USA before travelling. We also had a daily guide for going to some really off the beaten track places. Very few westerners there. I have a lot of great video but never edited it into a film. Looking forward to my next visit. Sorry to see Luke's sensationalism of the perceived danger. If it was that bad, he would never have been permitted to enter.
