Things tourist sites won't tell you- Factors to consider in Myanmar
1. Domestic flights are available but are very very expensive. Bus/train is the most economical option to travel within cities. intercity train/buses can take more time than planned. Keep some buffer.
2. Cities are not the cleanest- pay attention to hygiene.
