Many things have changed in Myanmar since so called "Democracy" and since the 2010 elections many places have been opened up to travellers and tourists previously inaccessible before 2012 (unless with expensive govt guide driver and permits etc,) as the country suddenly filled with tourists who previously would not go because of UN sanctions etc , However the NEW 2014 lonely planet guide is just a rehash of the poorly updated 2011 version and a shameful discredit to its author Simon Richmonds reputation . Burma /Myanmar is now become open to backpackers ie overland entry and exit via Kawthung and Maesot . Also overland exit via chin district to India previously unattainable by local bus. Also Mrauk is now accessible by local bus via Ann denied previously. All these points have been igbnored and overlooked in this allegedly updated version and backpackers are still recommended in the guide to follow old prior to democracy routes ie flying and long boat journeys. The book glosses over the plight and genocide of the Rohyngha and is at best just a rehash of the very poor 2011 version.Read more ›

I would give no stars for the section on Chin State which is the reason I purchased the updated version. I visited two towns plus Mt. Victoria in Chin State in March and have been following Google Alerts trying to update plans for my next trip there in January. It is fascinating and so worth making the effort. Very disappointed in this Lonely Planet Myanmar Guide.

We've just returned from Burma 2 few wks ago and used this new Lonely Planet Myanmar as our starting point and found this book very useful to carry around in a country that doesn't have Internet connection or constant fast, working connection everywhere (yet). Sure, although some things may be out of date, such as political viewpoints of what you can/cannot talk about w/the locals (locals seemed free to discuss openly w/us their views w/out censoring themselves),or train or bus schedule/times, and hotels that are popping up all over, or restaurants that have moved, etc. Lonely Planet Myanmar is still a bible for all of us travelers who like off the beaten path and want non non-sense tips and guidance at our finger tips. For most up to date on what ever Q. you may have about this incredible changing country, go TripAdvisor forum. It's a great supplement to Lonely Planet. Cheers!
