Rarely is anything more than a short-sleeve shirt or blouse required inYangon. Upcounty however, especially in the higher elevations of the Shan State, a light jacket or sweater will be needed during the cooler months.
Shorts, short skirts or revealing clothing are not appropriate because Myanmar preserves a conservative and largely Buddhist culture. Particularly for temple visits, please dress conservatively.
It is obligatory to remove shoes and socks for all temple visits in Myanmar. We recommend that visitors wear sandals or shoes which are easy to slip on and off.
Hats and sunglasses are recommended, and an umbrella for the rainy season is a must. Rainy season days often start out sunny but outbursts of rain can be heavy, even if short and infrequent.
