It is not needed as most of the toursit attractions are non-Malaria zone. It is recommended if you are going to the remote areas such as to the Northern Mountains & Southern Archipelago. But, "Prevention is better." as the saying goes. You may bring in should that is not a burden to you.

We have some restriction on certain limited medications. Most are fine. But, please let us know what medications you are to take along during you visit.

Is it safe to visit Myanmar?.

Yes, Myanmar is the safest country in the Southeast Asia for the travelers. No pick pockets, no kidnapping and we hardly heard any kindof disturbances to tourists in Myanmar. Nepotism in media, exacerbated by higher technology in communication, had made Myanmar a county of repugnant and repressive. A theory can't be proved, however, without experiencing it. An empirical finding is of most importance in those days. Truth will come at the very first moment when you step on a landof unexplored. Welcome to Myanmar.
