Visiting three of 🇲🇲Myanmar’s ethnic tribes was a highlight of our visit to Burma. You can differentiate the tribes by their unique dress. The Kayah tribe’s signature accessories are the lacquer leg rings (slide for pics). They also wear elaborate jewelry and red outfits. For tips on visiting Myanmar’s fascinating ethnic groups, check the link in our profile. 🌎 🇲🇲 🌎 🇲🇲 🌎 #visitmyanmar #myanmar #myanmartourism #burma #kayah #myanmarmemories #culturetrip #traveldeeper #ethnic #ethicaltravel #culturaltravel #travelwriter #familytravel #whywetravel #southeastasia #seasia #tribe #familysabbatical #travelwithteens #worldschooling #worldschool #letthejourneybegin #passionpassport

👉🏼NEW BLOG POST👈🏼 (🌎 Link In Bio) The Buddhist Daily Alms Giving Ceremony (also known as Tak Bat) has become one of the most popular things in Luang Prabang for travelers. 🇱🇦 Unfortunately, the bad behavior of some tourists is turning this beautiful religious ceremony into something of a circus. Be sure to learn how to NOT be a jerk before heading to Luang Prabang! . . . . . #buddhism #luangprabang #laos #southeastasia #almsgivingceremony #takbat #monks #buddhistmonks #ceremony #tourismluangprabang #laos_simplybeautiful #culturaltravel #culture #familytravel #travelfamily #travelwriter #smartertravel #traveldeeper #traveletiquette #worldschooling #4wornpassports #travel #travelguide @tourismluangprabang @laostourism @laos_simplybeautiful #unescoworldheritagesite #unescoworldheritage
👉🏼WOULD YOU RATHER...?!👈🏼 Talk about cultural whiplash! Two days ago we were in Myanmar 🇲🇲, one of the poorest countries in the world. The monuments are ancient, life is tough, and the people are lovely. Imagine 6 lane intersections and no stop signs or traffic lights. People bathing in the streets because they have no running water at home. Street dogs are as common as the litter. AND THEN BAM‼️ The next day we land in Singapore 🇸🇬. The 2nd wealthiest nation on the planet. A place so perfect it seems fake. Everything is new and shiny. Even the currency is crisp, shiny and beautiful. This is the land of law and order. A place where we can finally drink the water but we can’t chew gum. There is no litter, there are no street people. It’s strange to experience such opposite cultures back-to-back! 🌎 Which one would you rather visit??? . . . . . #myanmar #hsinbyumepagoda #burma #singapore #marinabaysands #pagoda #ancientvsmodern #highrise #laserlightshow #traveldeeper #lppathfinders #wonderful_places #wealthy #travel #familytravel #travelfamily #showthemtheworld #ancienttemple #singaporelife #singaporecity #nightscape #architecture #4wornpassports #culture #culturaltravel #travelwriter #visitsingapore #myanmarmemories #wouldyourather
The Intha fishermen of Inle Lake practice an ancient form of fishing. This unique technique involves standing on one leg at the end of the boat and using the other leg to paddle. This allows the fisherman to keep both hands free for traditional conical basket fishing, or the more modern net fishing. This technique works in the super shallow Inle Lake that ranges from 6-10’ of depth depending on the season. . . . . . #intha #fishermen #fisherman #fishermanslife #inlelake #oneleggedrowing #culture #myanmar #visitmyanmar #myanmarmemories #pronititravel #traveldeeper #burma #4wornpassports #lake #lakeliving #fishing #thegreatoutdoors #exploretheworld
After two weeks of visiting Myanmar’s stunning pagodas, they all start to run together. However, there is one that stands out from all the others... Hsinbyume Pagoda. This pagoda is Myanmar’s Taj Mahal, built in memory of a king’s first love. Unlike most pagodas, this one has a unique architecture. It was built to model the Buddhist mountain, Mount Meru. . It’s all white exterior set against Myanmar’s bright blue sky, makes the perfect location for a photo shoot! . . . . . #hsinbyumepagoda #myatheindanpagoda #pagoda #teentravel #buddhisttemple #mingun #mandalay #myanmar #burma #myanmarmemories #pronititravel #theadventurers #exploretheworld #instapassport #travelphotography #photoshoot #visitmyanmar #myanmartourism #lpphotochallengeblue
