The water festival called Thingyan
For visitors, Myanmar New Year or known as water festival is one of the most amazing times to experience the long reserved tradition of the country as well having fun with the local national wide.
In the Burmese language, the new year is called ‘Thingyan’ means “moving from one year to another”.
According to the ancient tradition, a human has committed sins the whole year and these sins could be only washed away by the water that thrown on others with Thingyan water. People believe that their mind will be purified after this important festival.
During 2 weeks of Thingyan which often takes place from 12 to 17th April, Buddhist’s religious activities are held to bless pilgrimage as well local villagers.
The water festival is also celebrated as Songkran in Thailand and Laos, ChaulChnamThmey in Cambodia. A similar festival is played in India with water and color and is called Holi
Go mad in water fest with water everywhere. You will be drenched in water, fun, and love. Enjoy with the locals, it's amazingly safe. People splash water on everyone including animals
Kids use water guns to drench their friends, and everyone in the range - only monks and the olds are safe.
During the festival, do not miss the chance to fill your stomach with special sweet foods: rice balls with jiggery topped with grated coconut, assorted jelly, bread and sticky rice in coconut milk and many other delicious curries that you will not taste in a normal day.
PhaungDawOo Pagoda Festival
Every year once, by end of October, pagoda festival is celebrated during which the 5 Buddha images are rowed around the Lake in a colorful barge.
It is held on a large scale for 18 days, usually in October (sometimes in September). 4 Buddha Images out of 5 from Phaung-Daw-oo Pagoda are carried on the royal barge and conveyed around 14 villages on the Lake.
The barge is towed by the boats of leg-rowers and hundreds of boats follow the procession. The large crowd gathers on the lake-shores to celebrate this festival. It is really an amazing sight.
Among the dance shows and fun-fairs, the most interesting event of the festival, especially for foreigners, is their boat race - due to their unique leg rowing. It is the one and only place in the world that one can see such marvelous act.
The Buddha images were believed to have been brought by King Alaungsithu of Bagan. King Alaungsithu or Mani Sithu reigned from A.D 1112-1167, one of the longest rulers of Bagan Dynasty. The King was a great builder of pagodas and monasteries and an avid traveler. He spent much of his time on water journeys. Legend has it that the Barge he used was built of the wood that contained a philosopher’s stone. This stone gave the Barge the supernatural power of turning into the water any place the king pointed at. So once, during one of his journeys, he came to the Inle Lake and the royal barge stopped at a place. That place was marked as a sacred place and a pagoda was built. That pagoda is now known as PhaungDaw U Pagoda. Some local tribes from Dawei requested the King for their stay at the lake, due to their liking of the pleasant lake, and also for looking after the pagoda. The King granted their stay and now, there is mysterious Inle Lake.
The PhaungDaw U Pagoda Festival isheld annually for 18 days. It is one of the most famous festivals in Myanmar. Both locals and foreign visitors come to visit this traditional festival in Inle Lake, Shan State. Annually, during the Myanmar Month of Thadingyut, usually between September and October, the 18-days festival is held. The festival is held with the dates according to the Lunar Calendar of Myanmar. It begins on the first Waxing Moon day of Thadingyut and ends a couple of days after the Full Moon. (For 2015, 14 October to 31 October)
A large boat with a Golden Hintha (Hamsa) Bird creation is built. The Buddha Images tour around the Inle Lake from village to village taking the whole 18 days on the way. During the festival, only four of the Buddha Images are moved onto the royal barge. One image always remains at the temple. The decorated royal barge is towed by several boats moving by leg-rowers of Inle. The barge is towed from village to village along the shores of the lake in a clockwise fashion, and the four images reside at the main monastery in each village for the night. The high point of the festival is on the day when the images arrive at the main town of NyaungShwe, where most pilgrims from the surrounding region come to pay their respects and veneration by boats. There are hundreds of floating boats from near and far.
According to Myanmar law, you are not allowed to rent the car without driver so it has to be the best invention ever – it’s a motorbike

How to cross India Myanmar border
Since Myanmar opens its door to the world, more official borders are opening for travellers who wish
to do overland journeys from neighbouring countries to Myanmar. At the present, you can travel from
Myanmar to Thailand, China and India with certain border gates. Up to 2016, there are no international
border checkpoints to enter Myanmar from Laos or Bangladesh.
.jpg)
India Myanmar Border
In the remote north west of Myanmar, a crossing exists between Moreh (India, Manipur state) and
Tamu (Myanmar, Sagaing Division). If you want to enter or leave Myanmar here, you will need to book a
special travel package by filling out this form (you must apply at least one month in advance of your
travel date).
Although permits are required for border crossing, foreigners can now travel in these parts of Sagaing
Division (Myanmar) and Manipur State (India) freely.
The India-Myanmar border in the far north of Kachin State at Pangsau Pass is currently shut to
foreigners.
We offer a range of overland tours to Myanmar, but please note that we are not able to issue border
crossing permits as a stand-alone item - if you book through us you must take a guided tour for at least
part of your journey; this is mandated for tour companies by the Myanmar government and we must
always ensure the safety of our clients.
How to cross-border from Thailand to Myanmar
Thailand Myanmar Borders
If you are planning to cross the border by land, to check that there have been no closures before
commencing your journey. Also, make sure that you have the relevant visas arranged (or are eligible for
a visa exemption if crossing from Myanmar into Thailand).
These are the crossing between Thailand and Myanmar:
1. Mae Sot / Myawaddy
One of the most popular crossing points, Mae Sot is located in the Thai province of Tak. It is
well-connected by bus on the Thai side, and onward transportation when in Myanmar is also
relatively straight-forward. Mawlamyine and Yangon are easy to reach, allowing you to connect
to other parts of the country.
2. Ranong / Kawthoung
This is the most convenient crossing for people who are continuing to Myanmar from Southern
Thailand. Ideal for beach lovers, you can catch onward boats to some of Myanmar’s dazzling
beaches and islands. The boat crossing between the two countries takes around 20 minutes, and
there are regular boat services.
3. Mae Sai / Tachilek
Mae Sai is within Thailand’s province of Chiang Rai. Whilst foreign tourists can easily cross the
border into Myanmar, there are still limitations as to onward transportation.
4. Phu Nam Ron / Htee Khee
Ban Nam Phu, located in Thailand’s province of Kanchanaburi, is a remote town with a border
crossing into Myanmar. Crossing to Htee Khee, the nearest major town on the Myanmar side is
Dawei, which is about a five-hour drive from the border. Arranging onward transportation may be difficult, particularly during the rainy season.

A Great country with multicultural diversity, well you can see lot variety mix like European ,Asian and not to forget about indigenous Australians referred as Aborigines , first immigrants to Australia dating many century ago . I was mesmerized about the culture, art and belief they carried. if you are lucky enough you can find some street music with unique instrument called didgeridoo, I got literally carried away by captivating unusual sound. Their Art is entirely different from regular nevertheless very fascinating must visit Art Gallery in Sydney. I factually spent almost a day in gallery.

Darling Harbor
Darling harbor is an ideal place to hang around .my sister had invited couple of her friends we all ended up in an Italian restaurant for lunch .it’s quite an amazing place to party out , surrounded by beautiful restaurants. Huge bay to walk around and walkable distance to the Sydney aquarium. Definitely place for sea lovers ,be it adults or children’s and very closer view to sea life from glass tunnels one can see variety of underwater species like sharks, octopuses, dugongs, turtles etc. For very first time have seen penguins in real and was totally surprised to see their size as I had always imagined penguins are bigger creature.
Another pleasant place came across was Chinese garden of friendship, beautiful landscape with theme, handpicked tree, plants and miniature mountain. Manmade marvel ponds with connecting small bridge feel serene. Exquisite Chinese pavilions with connecting Path way around the garden are very soothing for any Strollers.
Queen Victoria building is very iconic and spectacular monument turned to be splendid shopping mall with restored Beautiful stained glass ,old fashioned metal stairs and also the display of Great Australian Clock was very mighty ,well designed and functional .
Most awaiting place and always been looking forward to visit was Sydney opera house and Sydney Harbor Bridge. As these both landmarks were representing Australia .Majestic architecture of opera house worthwhile to visit .Glad we visited on right time during sunset it was truly romantic. It can’t be anything more fabulous than watching glorified illuminating lotus petal monument from restaurants while dinning. There were plenty of enjoyable restaurants around. Also I found good time to see night life in city as well.
Thailand has long been the destination at the top of traveller’s bucket lists. The country is brimming with sights to see and a culture to experience, so it’s no wonder so many tourists flock there in their masses every year. If you’re planning on doing the same, here’s what you’ll need to bear in mind during your Thai experience.
Explore to your heart’s content
.jpg)
Source - flic.kr/p/nZWeEx
It’s no secret that Thailand boasts enough wondrous sights and incredible places to last a lifetime. As a traveller, you’ll likely already be up for exploring, but Thailand won’t allow you to hold back for a second – whether it’s exploring the bustling towns and cities or island hopping, you’ll be overcome by the amount to see and do.
Although Bangkok and Phuket are obviously incredible places to see, the former boasting the Chao Phraya River flowing through the heart of the city, it’s sometimes the quieter places hiding the best surprises. Krabi, for example, is one of the country’s most secluded spots – but its jutting limestone rock formations and luxurious beach beckon for you to visit.
Some places aren’t as safe as you think
With that being said, it’s important you don’t stray too far off the beaten track or put yourself in a potentially vulnerable situation. Remain vigilant and careful, and don’t go anywhere you feel you shouldn’t – 1Cover suggests you should use your head and avoid the dodgier-looking places, as well as the shady-looking tuk-tuks and taxis.
So long as you stick to what you know and don’t try to visit an area of uncertainty, you’re in for a safe and smooth trip.
The culture is prevalent
Source //flic.kr/p/Unh1ic
One thing many travellers may not realise is just how important and prominent the culture is. Whether it’s stopping for the national anthem every day in the morning and evening, or taking your shoes off before entering certain buildings of importance, you’ll be expected to respect the cultural norms whenever you’re needed to.
Another important thing to bear in mind is the importance of the monarchy here in Thailand. Disrespecting the King or another royal figure is so frowned upon that it could end in a jail sentence – not a great end to the holiday, I’m sure you’d agree.
Try the street food

Although it may seem daunting, street food in Thailand is some of the safest, most diverse and most delectable in the entire world. Whether it’s a portion of satay in Chinatown – skewered meat and vegetables slathered in the moreish peanut sauce – or the ever-popular khao gang (curry rice), be sure to get your hands on some traditional Thai dishes.
Thai cuisine gives you an opportunity to challenge yourself, too. Snacks such as silk worms and waterbugs are incredibly popular with locals – will you discover your new favourite delicacy?
You need to stay vigilant
As previously mentioned, you’ll need to stay incredibly vigilant in certain areas of Thailand. Despite its undeniable beauty and wonder, within it lies opportunities for you to be stolen from. Bag-snatching is increasingly popular in Southeast Asia, and tourists are often the number one target.
To combat this, consider investing in a cross-body bag so that it won’t be easily removable from your person should you fall victim to attempted theft. Make sure you’re not flashing your valuables in public, too – you’ll stand out very easily to the people who are looking for you.
It’s the place to go to have fun

Overall, though, Thailand is the perfect destination for the fun-seeking traveller. Whether it’s frolicking in the waves on Krabi Beach or partying the night away under the full moon on Koh Phangan, you’re in for an unforgettable experience however you decide to see Thailand. Let your hair down and dive right in – awaiting you is a world of sheer wonder.
