Things You Should Consider When Going for a Family Tour
You’ve chosen Myanmar as your next family vacation destination. You’ve bought the guide book and purchased your flights. You’re ready to go—or, are you? Going on a Myanmar family tour is not always as easy as it sounds because there are many moving parts to take care of, especially if you’re traveling with kids. Here are some tips to make your Myanmar travel holiday with your family so much better:
Join a Myanmar tour package
It can certainly be stressful to travel with the entire family, but when you join a Myanmar tour package, everything is organized for you. This means less stress and more enjoyment. You can truly sit back, relax, and just enjoy your holiday at a comfortable but efficient pace.
This, by far, is the most practical way to see Myanmar. You and your group can explore all the classic destinations as well see not-so-common places that will enrich your holiday experience. You can sign up for a regular tour or customize something for your group.
For example, Myanmar tours and travel specialist can design an 11-day itinerary that lets you see Yangon, Bago, Kyaik Hti Yoe, Mandalay, Bagan, and Inle Lake. This vacation package will include hotel accommodation for 9 nights, flights from Heho to Yangon, an overnight train from Yangon to Bagan, air-conditioned vans with drivers for all sightseeing activities, hotel and airport transfers, a travel guide, a sunset boat for Bagan, day cruise in Bagan-Mandalay, public boat and private horse cart in Innwa, private boat trips in Inle Lake and Mingun, all entrance/zone fees, and government/service taxes. All you have to do is show up.
Before you leave
Be sure to print out your flight boarding passes as well as hotel confirmations. You want hard copies of important documents just in case electronic systems fail (or your phone runs out of battery). Ensure that your passports are ready to go. It’s also a good idea to sign up for family travel insurance. And don’t forget to check the weather in Myanmar, so you know what to expect when you arrive.
Have some local currency with you
Bigger establishments in Myanmar generally accept credit cards and US dollars, but smaller mom-and-pop stores and restaurants don’t. It might be a good idea to bring a small amount of Burmese kyat (the local currency) so you can transact in smaller places. About $100 to $200 worth is enough. You can look for an ATM when you arrive at the airport in Myanmar.
