Homestay Paying Guest In Myanmar Welcome to Homestay facilities in Myanmar. We will shortly be adding more Homestay families and houses for your stay in Myanmar. This is not only a cheap travel plan but also a cultural experience.
A region of many similarities as well as distinct differences, Southeast Asia undoubtedly offers some of the most exciting travel destinations. A wide range of activities and unique sights can all be had in this part of Asia.
A homestay is similar in concept to that of a bed and breakfast. Guests are either accommodated in the family home, or in separate quarters nearby. Nowadays, most homestays provide their guests with just as much comfort as a reputable hotel.
Burmese (Myanmar) consider it a huge honor to have guests in their home, and go out of their way to please them. There's nothing like Burmese hospitality. Sadly, most visitors who come to Myanmar and stay in hotels never get to experience true Burmese hospitality. The good thing is that all this is changing as a result of the growing popularity of homestays in Myanmar.
There are a number of reasons why staying at a homestay can be preferable to staying in a hotel. The benefits of homestays in Myanmar include:
Distinctive and Characterful Accommodations: Tired of sterile hotels? There's no better way to experience the incredibly diversity and charm of Myanmar than at a homestay. The options are almost endless and include plantation bungalows, historic havelis (mansions), and remote rural cottages.
Personalized Service: In contrast to a hotel, a homestay usually only has a few rooms. The family who resides there runs it, and acts as host. This guarantees that guests receive plenty of individual attention. You can spend as little or as much time with the host family as you like. Some guests choose only to dine with them, while others spend hours chatting to them. Regardless, staying with an Burmese family is the easiest way of finding out about Burmese culture and way of life. Many guests and hosts find that they bond with each other so much, that they keep in touch long after the vacation is over.
Local Knowledge: The wealth of information that the hosts have about their local area makes deciding what to see and do a breeze. Such local knowledge is extremely helpful in getting the most from your visit. Many hosts are delighted to show their guests around their local area, providing them with invaluable insights that simply aren't available from a guide book.
Home Cooked Food: There's a huge difference between the Burmese food served in restaurants and hotels, and the food that's cooked in an Burmese home. By staying at a homestay, you'll be able to taste authentic Burmese home cooked food, made to order. It's a lot lighter, and has more variation and flavor than restaurant food. Some homestays even welcome their guests into their kitchen, and let them watch and participate in the cooking process.
Unique Activities: As a guest at a homestay, the focus is on you, and your likes and preferences. The hosts are usually very accommodating and will put a great deal of effort into arranging activities that are of interest to you. These activities will vary depending on location. Exploring a coffee plantation in Coorg, watching a polo match in Rajasthan, herding animals in remote northern Myanmar, village visits, picnics, and temple tours are just some of the options. Guests are often invited to attend weddings, or other festivals that are happening, as well. |
