Myanmar Travel Guide
- Taunggyi Hot Air Balloon Festival: Taunggyi is the famous Balloon Festival that takes place in Myanmar every November to mark the end of the rainy season. Several weeks before the festival begins, locals in the Shan region build hot air balloons from scratch and then decorate them with paintings, candles, and fireworks... yes fireworks! It is a brilliant display of colour, light and sound.
- Thingyan New Year Water Festival: If you are planning to visit Myanmar mid-April, you can join the Burmese New Year Festival! This Buddhist festival is celebrated over a period of four to five days and is an important public holiday in Myanmar. On the second day, people throw water at each other from boats and other vessels to symbolise the cleansing of their sins throughout the year.
- Thadigyut Festival: Whilst in Yangon, enjoy the Festival of Light in celebration of the Buddha's descent from the heavens. Buildings and houses across the region are covered in coloured lights and candles to welcome Buddha to Earth.
