| Clothes, shoes, what to wear in Myanmar during your trip in Myanmar - Burma |
 |
Clothes
- Light cotton or linen clothe, easy to carry and to clean.
The best is to buy a Burmese "Longyi" (few dollars) and the
Burmese will really like it.
- In winter time , take a sweater and trouser for the mountain area and all the Shan State, it is cold
at evening time and during the night (between 5C° and 15C°), especially in
Pwin Oo Lwin and at Inle Lake.
- Do not forget a hat and sun block cream for Inle Lake and Golden Rock.
The sun is hot and you are above 3 000 feet.
Not proper (not correct) clothes
As we already write in "",
it is absolutely not correct for MEN and WOMEN to swear short or too widely open tee-shirts.
Please respect us !

Special comments for Inle
In winter, at Inle lake (November to middle February) it could be very very cold on the boat early morning, especially with the wind created by the boat. Temperature could be as low as 5 C° + wind effects.... you need something really warm until 9 Am (and something to stop the wind).
Hotels on pile at the lake could be very very cold at night. If you are sensitive to cold, choose a confortable hotel.
Mindat and Chin Hills
It is very very cold in winter in the Chin Hills (altitude varies from 1500 to 3000 m).
Mindat is very cold and windy, hotels have no heating system and most of the time no hot water....
If you do a trek in Chin village (between 2000 and 3000m), you will sleep in local bamboo/wood house. It is really really cold at night.
You must take shocks and warm clothes for sleeping.
Shoes
Take shoes which are easy to remove. You have
to remove your shoes very often in Myanmar, to enter the houses,
to enter the pricint of the pagodas.
To also avoid heat or moisture problem, it is better to use
open shoes. If you can during the rainy seasons, it is very
important to use open shoes, not tennis or closed shoes. The
humidity level is so high that you are sure to get fungus
problem with tennis shoes.
The best is to do like the Burmese, use sleepers, it is perfect and you can buy very good and very cheap one every where in Myanmar.
