Just as a general information about spleeping in Myanmar, for those who come after you, Michael!
We cycled through Myanmar (entering in Thailand, exiting in India) in April/May 2014:
For Sleeping Places we mixed
- Tourist hotels (touristic cities)
- Camping. Easy! Find a spot at dusk, but let nobody see you. We never used flash lights. Be aware of thorns, we had various flat tyres!
- Monasteries (we gave donations). Great! With always friendly monks and interested locals to get in touch with..
- Invitations of families. 2 families invited us along the way, even though it's not allowed (we didn't tell the military when they asked). The stay with a 3rd family was even organized by a police officer as it was a remote area and no hotels around. In Yangon there are some Couchsurfing/Warmshowers contacts.
Enjoy Myanmar!
