About clothing
Myanmar is located under the equator, but if you go to mountainous areas in the north, such as Mandalay, Inle Lake, Kalaw, it is cool and cold, because these place is high attitude. You need jacket and sometimes down jacket. From in the evening, the temperature is getting cold.. Please be aware that thick coats, down jackets etc.
