Must-Try!

Fermented-tea-leaf salad mixed with nuts and crunchy toppings; a popular snack or side dish found in many teashops.

Fish fried with garlic and served over steamed rice; common in river-adjacent eateries and home kitchens.

Coconut milk–based chicken noodles with a touch of curry, frequently found in local noodle shops.

Along the waterfront, these stalls offer quick bites, fried street treats, and beverages in a relaxed setting.

Dress modestly, remove shoes before entering temples, and speak softly in religious spaces.

Give monks space, especially women should avoid physical contact; observe local customs with reverence.

Ask permission before taking photos of people or private homes; avoid intrusive shots of sacred sites.

A respectful, patient demeanor goes a long way; small talk often centers on family, harvests, and daily life.

Tipping is appreciated for guides, drivers, and restaurant staff but not obligatory; small amounts (a few thousand kyat) are common for good service.
