Hi Ben, I am from Myanmar . Also i am one of your fan that always watched your travel vlog and please let me explain a little about the festival that you had seen at the Monastery ( Dala , the other side of Yangon City ) . In Myanmar , we have a festival in the month of November , name is '' Tasaung Taing ( celebrated as a national holiday in Myanmar) '' that means people are offering some things ( Kāṣāya , soap , cash , etc) and meals to the monastery so when you seen at the monastery was the people there are preparing meals for guests and monks for this "Tasaung Taing Festival ".
I've heard a lot about Rohingya Muslims and Islam in Myanmar... Something about Buddhist Monks vs Rohingya Muslims. Hope situation is better for you guys now.
have to watch your videoes to remind me of humanity, always astounded by generosity of the poorest, most countries you visit are the ones with most hardships but the people are amazing, uk could learn alot from these countries.
@@witlof5492 yesterday gave some for guide dogs for the blind and im getting made homeless in a couple of weeks also gave some for poppies as my dad was at dunkirk i always give when i can.
my dad took bullet to the head and obviously survived though he died in 1986 he would give you his last penny if it helped, he taught me some good morals and i am very proud of him.
That’s how I found him as well, now I watch them both, even if it’s the same place together. They each can make a totally different vid on the same thing.
@@BackpackerBen Agree Ive been there twice. Last time in 2019. Dunno if its possible to get to Napoli Beach in the north west. try if you´re still there. Best ppl ever.
As your Chinese fan, follow your footsteps and embark on a new journey. Although Yangon is not very wealthy, I was moved by the friendliness and smiles of the people. I will visit this country sometime in the future. Time is like a song, and the footprints of travelers will always lead others forward.
Please visit Karenni, Karen State, and the borders of Myanmar to understand what is truly happening. Thousands of Myanmar people are suffering from airstrikes and the burning of their hometowns, while Yangon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw remain under military control
I'd love to visit there someday. It is a nice change from most of your videos from the past year where I was glad you visited so I wouldn't have to. Cheers!
Last video I saw you make from Myanmar, I had to double check my passport because I went to Malaysia, because I went home from Indonesia. It got me worried as if my brother's wife tried to do me wrong. They are two different countries. I had to land in Kuala Lumpur all alone which for me was kind of scary since I never really travel a lot. Long story short, I gave up my seat to my brother's wife so they could sit together, but I had to take a very sketchy flight to Kuala Lumpur. I'm still here so it's all good.
Nice video Ben and Kat. Did you feel any presence of the military while you were touring around ? Did your tour the university ? Wonderful People! All the best guys 🙏🙏 Jim and Harriet

Myanmar is really diverse country That's why we can see some people look Indians,Bengali Some people look Chinese I'm from Myanmar and Thank you for visiting our country already subscribed
When I was in Thailand in march, I met a refugee/immigrant girl who left her whole family in Myanmar. I didn't really know the situation of what was happening in the country. Incredible what these people are forced to experience. This was a very informative and enlightening video. Thanks Ben!
Myanmar is looking much better. I remember last month they were in the midst of a civil war and so many people were fleeing the Chinese border seeking asylum because the closer they got to China the safer they were
Yangon is far from dangerous as you've seen. Go to Chin State if you really want to go into a war affected zone. Am currently there and it's quite mind blowing.
You guys are in the middle of a full-moon Buddhist festival. It's like Loi Krathong from Thailand. The money trees are from donations like those you just gave them. This money goes to different monasteries. The man-made bulls you just encountered were parts of this festival, many man-made animal things are made, and dance with these in this fest. I hope this helps you understand a bit. It's a tricky country.
Yo Ben please come to malaysia! we have a lot of foods, different of culture, u can find british building in Kuala Lumpur and portugese building in melacca, and head north to penang or terengganu to have some delicious food
Everybody must remember ! Nan. That in comparison to its mighty neighbour India, home of the world’s most powerful economy, first-class high speed rail, military excellence, & so much more this Myanmar is humble. Undeveloped & very miserable.
American here, in my area we have a growing number of people from Myanmar. They are hard working people, usually stay to themselves. Also I see them in public with the face painting. Good to see they still believe in their traditions. But I only ever see women doing it.
As a Filipino our neighbors Myanmar, Laos and East Timor are the most interesting countries I would like to visit someday aside from Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal.
I've met a fair few peeps from there when I was in Thailand last year - they consider themselves Burmese (and will say Burma). The ones I met, speak good English. Which is how I knew they were 'Burmese' - which shocked them when I said, you're from Myanmer, right? :D
Thank you so much Ben and Katrina for this one of kind entertainment and content! Bruva i would love to see you and Katrina go to Mexico?? Much love and God Bless you guys! In Jesus Christ name! Amen

🇲🇲 🙏🏼
@@gods-best-friend-gbf Islam is a fascist wicked ideology and must be opposed at every turn especially in Asia, particularly by women. No to Islam👎
Great series Ben and Kat really enjoying it. These countries look awesome with genuinely happy and welcoming people!
Best video for a while on this channel no moaning and a positive attitude.
❤ the video !! Kat adds so much to your videos!
Love your videos. Cat's smile is addictive, she seems so easy going 😊
have to watch your videoes to remind me of humanity, always astounded by generosity of the poorest, most countries you visit are the ones with most hardships but the people are amazing, uk could learn alot from these countries.
This is so true!!
And when is the last time you gave money to a good cause?
@@witlof5492 actually yesterday gave some for guide dogs for the blind and im being made homeless in a couple of weeks.

Ive seen you on Balds videos and i saw your China video come up the other week now im hooked on your content Ben loving it!
That’s how I found him as well, now I watch them both, even if it’s the same place together. They each can make a totally different vid on the same thing.
I've transferred to BPB recently from Bald, since Kat is with him, it's much more upbeat.
@@NateSmith-vq3rc yes I was very pleased to find out you can watch both of there videos in the same places and they are completely different
Love the travels when including Kat!
People seems so nice and happy to show you around! 😊
Very nice, thanks for taking us along on the journey. Have fun, stay safe.
Great to see you actually chose the country that I asked you to go to have fun be safe
Lol I love it when Ben gives up. "When is the next ferry?"
"Yes"
"Yes, alright"
I have a friend from that country. It might be dangerous in some necks, but people are very nice, friendly and hospitable.
Ah mate seriously Myanmar has the best people on this planet 🇲🇲 legends
@@BackpackerBen Agree Ive been there twice. Last time in 2019. Dunno if its possible to get to Napoli Beach in the north west. try if you´re still there. Best ppl ever.
Absolute madness to go there now, hats off to you!
To be fair, i think that's not in the bad area. War is in pockets in the North. That city is in the South
Nothing madness about yangoon, dont fall for clickbait caption
I enjoyed this video Ben, thank you.
👊🏼

Looks great, wish I had gone when I had the chance with work.
Wish these video was longer. Good stuff
Please visit Karenni, Karen State, and the borders of Myanmar to understand what is truly happening. Thousands of Myanmar people are suffering from airstrikes and the burning of their hometowns, while Yangon, Mandalay, and Naypyidaw remain under military control
It is probably way too dangerous for him and Kat to visit there
Good to see you both living the dream
Chase and Status. Mozey, Hedex, Hazard, Jayline carry on mate! Straight up bangers.😎
You have the best travel vlog on TH-cam. Kat brings a wonderful touch to your channel
🍻👊🏼
Wait 'til you discover his Maker.
@@guitaristssuck8979 you mean bald?
@@frisc0strangler207 nailed it.
Without youre nothing. To scard for everything 😅@@BackpackerBen
nice
series Ben and Kat
Also, I like when you two switch the camera back and forth to each other - it adds a fun dynamic!
Thanks for that! Looks brilliant and like a lot of nice encounters
I'd love to visit there someday. It is a nice change from most of your videos from the past year where I was glad you visited so I wouldn't have to. Cheers!
Thank You Ben & Kat for Another Amazing and Awesome Adventure🙂💙👍Wishing You Safe Travels from Canada👍
Thank Ben and Kat! Great video as usual. Where is Bald?
He's off scowling and pouting somewhere.
Fascinating. Really enjoyed watching this. The people are so warm and welcoming. Never thought of Myanmar before and this was very interesting.
nice video Ben and Kat thanks for choving Burma for the world
You two make a wonderful couple. Enjoy!
With this video my friend you have achieved an entirely new level of being an adventure travel legend. This one is truly epic! Well done
Myanmar looks very interesting. Keen to head there. Love you work guys 👏
Thanks so much for another great video! Always puts me in a good mood to see you and Cat. ❤
What an Awesome video guys!!!
I really love seeing you both experiencing life together💕
Happy travels🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
Great consistency Ben, 👌
Thanks so much, Ben & Cat. I have never seen Myanmar from this angle.
Love you guys..Be safe
Love this . Kat is eye candy. Need more. more

Great job guys 👍love the people 🤗looks very friendly and cute 😁Thanks a lot for sharing and take care 😄
Hahahaha the taxi driver "Benjamin... Netanyahu"
waiting more episodes. There were a few bloggers are in Myanmar. staying tuned. Be safe and sound.
Nice video Ben and Kat. Did you feel any presence of the military while you were touring around ? Did your tour the university ? Wonderful People! All the best guys 🙏🙏 Jim and Harriet
Love you guys,be safe.
Thanks for sharing always
Nunca ia imaginar ouvir a Pablo tocar em Rangum! Maravilhoso!
💡✌️Brilliant !!
Great Vlog Ben@Kat,
You tubers keeping it real 👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼😎
Welcome to my country. I watched your video about three years ago. I like your video. You should comet with Mr. Bald. Save and sound in my country.
Good job Ben
Good vid Ben
Didn't know you were into Drum n Bass Ben 😍
🔥
I briefly went there a few years ago, quick unofficial border run with a dodgy border guard. Kanchanaburi province and back out again.

I visited in 2017 and it’s the safest I’ve ever felt in any country! ❤
Very different now
14:58 I think I could play beautiful Myanmar music myself, just bangin the shi together! 😂
😂😂 i thought the same
Each of your videos is a small masterpiece! Quality, editing, presentation of information - everything is top-notch. Thank you for your hard work!🚀❗️🐫
I need to find me a girl like Kat to travel with. Just always smiling and down for whatever! She compliments you well Ben!
9:50 this bloke really did his best to give you accurate descriptions of how it is in dala
Welcome sir hope u enjoyed
Outstanding love this much more please.
Nice, my favourite country in SE Asia...cant wait to go back again
Inle lake and Bagan are where you want to get to;
@@pj-vq3by I agree: Inle Lake and Bagan are wonderful places to visit.
Myanmar is really diverse country
That's why we can see some people look Indians,Bengali
Some people look Chinese
I'm from Myanmar and Thank you for visiting our country
already subscribed
Thought it was India when u said the most dangerous country 🤣
That's the filthiest one.
So true 😂😂
@@OutofluckpikerMJK😂😂😂😂😂 amen
That’s the smelliest
England is Asia’s most dangerous country

The foreigners only VIP section on the boat with plastic chairs, and then he smashes his head on the sign. Great comedy, lmao
That rikshaw driver was so cool great man
10/10 I also love the forehead transitions
Liked and subscribed. Looking forward to next episode
👊🏼
Awesome friendly Burmese people great adventurous vlog indeed 😅❤
Nothing like fresh Burmese cream to start the day :)
😂😂
Kat is like the best traveling sidekick.
Myanmar!??!😮 My dream country I want to visit but too dangerous I thought
Good on yah mate
Yangon is far from dangerous as you've seen. Go to Chin State if you really want to go into a war affected zone. Am currently there and it's quite mind blowing.
Damn! You’re there now? How did you even get there I wasn’t aloud to leave the Yangon area unless I flew to one of the tourist places
Yes Yangon is completely fine I thought
Such a shame. I was there in 2015 just before the election. People were all very nice but quite poor in the villages I visited.
We had an amazing day when we went over to Dala a few months ago, looks like you got the same bicycle driver as us.. how mad😆
How could Asia even exist before high powered electrical speakers existed?
They do love their blasting techno in Asia 😂
Asian lives longer now 🎉
You guys are in the middle of a full-moon Buddhist festival. It's like Loi Krathong from Thailand. The money trees are from donations like those you just gave them.

Loved Myanmar when we visited
First to watch ❤
Those Burmese are so very friendly.
Everybody must remember !
Nan. That in comparison to its mighty neighbour India, home of the world’s most powerful economy, first-class high speed rail, military excellence, & so much more this Myanmar is humble. Undeveloped & very miserable.
Yeah, it seems extremely dangerous. :D As long as you don't do anything really dumb you'll be fine, the people are amazingly friendly.
American here, in my area we have a growing number of people from Myanmar. They are hard working people, usually stay to themselves. Also I see them in public with the face painting. Good to see they still believe in their traditions. But I only ever see women doing it.
Best people 🇲🇲they are shy. Say hello next time they love a chat
who isn't hardworking in America?
I always love to watch your videos, but i wonder is Cat just your travelling friend or is she your girlfriend? You make a great couple. 👍🏻❤️
Twin room 🙃
Whenever you guys are back in Lisbon, let's meet for a beer. I am a German traveler based in Ericeira🙌
As a Filipino our neighbors Myanmar, Laos and East Timor are the most interesting countries I would like to visit someday aside from Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal.

You legend Ben..... I thought we wouldn't see you and Kat till after New year. Bonus. Keep going , this channel is superb
Plenty more vids coming this year 👊🏼
Do you want a big bottle of Burmese beer or a Guiness?
