Let me start with this. Ngapali in Myanmar is one of the most beautiful beaches I have been to. It’s a great place to unwind and relax, take a stroll along the beach and watch the world go by. But I’m not sure I would return to Laguna Lodge. We came for 5 nights to relax and unwind after traveling…

One of the questions I get asked the most about my journey through Myanmar is “How are the trains?”. While overnight bus coaches seem to be the most popular choice of transport for its cost and reliability, there is still a charm and a real sense of the golden age of travel by taking the train in Myanmar. While the trains…
