Many Singaporeans have not been to Myanmar in the past few
years. There is a mistaken perception
that it is a dangerous country to visit and that the domestic
airlines are not safe. The travel books like Lonely Planet had
advised boycotting of certain airlines in
previous issues.
However, travel in Myanmar is safe for tourists if they don't
visit the border areas or restricted areas. In
the past, every major town has "security checkpoints"
monitoring the arrival of visitors. However, the
people are friendly towards tourists.
