Burma forum

This is a (very much work in progress!) collection of links to useful threads in the Burma section of the forum along with other parts of the site. We'll update it as more interesting or useful stuff appears. Currently there is no destination guide for Burma on Travelfish. If you know of another interesting resource worth adding, please mention it in the comments.

Burmese embassies overseas
It's tricky to find official embassy websites for Burma - be wary of travel and visa agents masquerading as embassy sites. The Burmese MFA has a full list of addresses, but no website URLs.
