Popular Post AsianExplorer Posted March 19 Popular Post Share Posted March 19 Hi Fellow travellers After I did a little research, I created this master list. It contains about 20+ spas in Yangon and Mandalay. The link provided shows their offers. If anyone would like to contribute to this Google spreadsheet. Please DM me; I can share this file directly to you so that you can add your comments and make further contributions. Personally, I have never been to Myanmar because of the conflict. Now, it seems safer, and tourism has begun to boom. So I hope this master list can help you, and if anyone traveling to Myanmar, Please drop your trip report. Love. AsianExplorer.

AsianExplorer Posted March 19 Author Share Posted March 19 Due to the language barrier, It is very difficult to locate on Google Maps. I recommend you begin to talk to the spa owner a few days ahead for booking and start your plan. If anyone gets the exact location, please DM me for the file link or just DM me the address, I can add the location to this spreadsheet.

reader Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Anyone who thinks things are getting better in Myanmar are sadly misinformed. From CNN Burnings and beheadings: Myanmar junta escalates terror tactics Warning: This story contains graphic descriptions of violence. CNN — The two young men are bloodied, their feet clamped in wooden stocks. “What is the PDF (People’s Defence Force)?” their tormentors yell. “Dogs,” they reply. Humiliated and dehumanized, the men are hogtied and dragged across the rough ground by their thick chains. In front of dozens of onlookers, they are strung up to a tree and a fire stoked beneath them. As smoke rises and the flames consume them, the two men writhe and scream in agony – their final moments of unimaginable pain and horror captured on video. Phoe Tay was 21-years-old, Thar Htaung just 20. The two young men had left their family farms in northwest Myanmar to join a local armed resistance group following the 2021 military coup, hoping to bring peace and democracy to the Southeast Asian country, their fathers told CNN. But they were captured during a battle against the military on November 7 last year, and taken to a nearby village, where they were tortured and killed by a pro-junta militia under the watch of Myanmar army soldiers, according to witnesses. CNN has built a timeline of events, using accounts from more than a dozen witnesses, villagers, resistance fighters, family members and analysts, with analysis of the video and pictures from the day using open source techniques. Those accounts and analysis point to the ruling military as being responsible for the killings, in contradiction of their public denials. Phoe Tay and Thar Htaung’s deaths are horrific, but they are not anomalies in Myanmar, where the military is waging a war of terror against civilians as it finds itself increasingly on the back foot against a nationwide armed resistance determined to oust it from power. Those attacks have only increased since a rebel offensive launched five months ago resulted in major losses and defections for the military, multiple sources confirmed. By waging terror tactics including burnings, beheadings, mutilations, torching villages, and through a massive aerial bombing campaign that has displaced nearly three million people, the Myanmar military is attempting to control and divide the population through a long-established doctrine of fear and brutality, witnesses and analysts say.
