Myanmar
Images of Bagan (top few) initially are what dragged me into Myanmar as a place to visit in 2016. I’d been to Northern Thailand a few times already, so this wasn’t unfamiliar. With a tumultuous past and equally rocky present day, Myanmar isn’t exactly the most stable nation on earth. With the recent genocide of the Rohingya muslims in Rakhine state, the world press has a microscope on Myanmar and it’s actions.
While this has affected tourism, there is a clear cut path of where tourists should visit - generally everything is done in an up and down formation from Mandalay down to Yangon with stops in Inle (shallow lake images of fishermen), and Bagan.
