Good travel guide, 12 Sep 1999
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Myanmar (Burma): A Travel Survival Kit (Lonely Planet Travel Survival Kit) (Paperback)
I like this guide book and look forward to the upcoming revised edition. I disagree with the review below that this guide is "highly derivative". That review is "highly suspect" anyway since it comes anonymously from the author of a competing Burma guidebook.

A typical Lonely Planet, 12 Mar 1998
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Myanmar (Burma): A Travel Survival Kit (Lonely Planet Travel Survival Kit) (Paperback)
This book was published in 1996 and many things in Burma have changed since then. Though, it is a very good text for finding upscale hotels and eating establishments, backpackers will be very upset with the outdated cheap hotels and locations for buses. On the other hand this is the best lonely planet that I have seen regarding cultural sites. The drawings and descriptions of Bagan are a real plus if you ignore the sarcastic undertones of the writing. Also, this was my first lonely planet that starting falling apart with a week of normal "travelling" use. I don't think that there is a better guide book to Burma on the market. So you will probably be stuck buying this book and asking the locals a lot of questions when you are in Burma. Luckly the Burmese are very friendly and helpful!!!

time for a rewrite, 26 Feb 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Myanmar (Burma) (Lonely Planet Regional Guides) (Paperback)
Having just returned from a month in Myanmar with an LP guide others may find the following comments useful. The prices are woefully out of date. The main tourist centres are covered well but elsewhere the writers must have ran through in a hurry- how did they miss George Orwell's house in Thandwe?All the pages of chatter about FEC's only confuses everybody, pay US$200 per person and you can use them in hotels licensed for foreigners- not a big deal if you are there for a couple of weeks. If you a really on a budget the airport FEC desk might let you pay for only one person if you are a couple in return for a monetary present.
I thought that this was probably one of the least useful LP guides.
Listmania!
