5.0 out of 5 stars A very good book Mar 14 2006
By Jim - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
OK, ignoring all the strange hype and anti-hype over going to Myanmar (my in-laws live there), this is a good book. I purchased it as my sole guidebook. Although some of my local guides had a few words of disparagement for some of the restaurant recommendations (they said they were years out of date), it was otherwise a useful tool. If you are going to Burma, buy this book. Really, you'll find it handy.

As for supporting the regime with tourist dollars, don't be silly. They get all the support they need from China - they don't need your money. Staying home in a snit won't change a single thing that happens for the better. And it may make things worse.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Guide for Visiting Burma/Myanmar May 6 2007
By Henry Yule - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
There is no other guide which comes close to being as useful for visiting Burma, either as a first-time tourist or an veteran traveller. Its overall descriptions, information on transport, reviews of hotels etc are all generally reliable and up-to-date. The accounts of restarants in Rangoon however is probably somewhat dated, as the restaurant scene in Rangoon changes quickly and there are many new restaurants today (more than a year and half since publication) which are not mentioned.

I would recommend reading The River of Lost Footsteps by Thant Myint-U for an excellent and entertaining history of the country, either before going or during your trip. The LP Myanmar and The River of Lost Footsteps are the only two books you'll need.

5.0 out of 5 stars Necessary and sufficient Nov 26 2010
By Patricia D. Roth - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Since there are next to no other guides to Myanmar, this one is the best! I appreciated the helpful guidance in thinking through the issue of whether to go and hence support the government--so we could go in good conscience. After reading about the reasonable and clean hotels where we could stay, I booked tickets for us to go. Personally I prefer double references, so using both this book and the forums confirmed my choices. Wouldn't go to Burma without it.
