Let’s start in Bagan, Myanmar’s ancient seat of the vast territorial Burmese empire. This historic city is situated on a valley floor with distant mountain vistas. The region is more arid and less humid than many SE Asian locales, which gives it an undoubtedly distinct atmosphere. This site is never camera shy. Its generous offerings include nearly 4,500 Buddhist temples, pagodas, and monasteries preserved with UNESCO world heritage status. A common recreational activity around the area is hot air balloon rides, which can help you capture the perfect aerial shot.
Further to the south is the Mergui island archipelago, which some might argue is SE Asia’s most intact biologically preserved site for diving and wildlife. This chain dots the eastern Andaman sea, and the sunsets can seem to last for hours. Whether you need some shots of thriving, colorful sea life or pristine beachfront angles, you can find it here.
