TRAVEL INFO

Applicants can complete their Myanmar E-Visa application online via the official portal launched by the Ministry of Immigration and Population. 

Formerly known as Burma, Myanmar lies at the heart of Asia, sharing borders with Thailand, India, Bangladesh, Laos and China. Steeped in over 2,500 years of history, its people enjoy a relaxed pace of life and a refreshingly simple way of living. 

The Mergui Archipelago comprises more than 800 small islands off southern Myanmar. Largely untouched by human habitation, this pristine paradise greets visitors with the same unspoiled beauty that captivated explorers more than two centuries ago.

Kawthaung sits at Myanmar’s southernmost tip, bordering Thailand. As the gateway to countless Mergui Archipelago adventures, this quaint town offers a delightful first glimpse of Myanmar’s charm.

Locally known as “Bake” and called Mergui during colonial times, Myeik occupies a peninsula jutting into the Andaman Sea at Myanmar’s southernmost tip. It is the largest city in the Tanintharyi Region.

Dawei, the capital of the Tanintharyi Region, lies in southern Myanmar and was known as Tavoy during colonial times.

If you’re already in Myanmar, simply travel to Yangon International Airport and catch a domestic flight to Kawthaung. All local airlines serve this route year-round, making it easy to begin your journey.

Off the Tanintharyi coast in southern Myanmar, the crystalline blue waters are home to an indigenous group known in Myanmar as Salons—also called the Moken.
