Where should you go in Burma (Myanmar) in may when it comes to the weather?

Remember:
The climate in Burma (Myanmar) in may ranges from good to bad depending on the region and city.

May is not the best month to travel to in Myanmar. The weather in Thandwe, Yangon (Rangoon), Pa-An (Hpa-An), Mytkyina, Ngwesaung, Naypyidaw (Nay Pyi Taw), Mrauk U, Putao, Kengtung, Bagan, Pindaya, Mandalay, Lake Inle and Tachileik is OK but just acceptable. The sun is not there all the time and you risk you to be soaked by rain frequently. Nevertheless, if you don't plan a beach and sun travel but rather visiting museums or walking, this climate could be appropriate. In addition, there are certainly fewer tourists this month.

But it is finally better than in Sittwe and Myeik and surrounding areas where the climate is very bad. We really do not recommend you to travel to these areas in may.
