Etiquette:

•Never touch a person’s hair, head or cheek, even if you consider it as a friendly gesture. Myanmar people would not consider it friendly, and will think you are rude.

•Don’t touch any part of a lady’s body. http://www.myanmar2day.com/myanmar-culture-custom/2008/12/myanmar-etiquette-general-rules/

I liked some of these - very amusing. Seems like sensible advice in any culture!!!

Never raise your underwear above your head. This is considered very rude.

Never clean your feet in the basin you used to clean your hands and face.

Never use the water from the drinking pot to wash your feet. Myanmar people will consider this an insult.

Never put your feet on the pillow used for the head, or sit on the pillow for the head.

Never use your feet to point to a thing or a place. This is an insult for a Myanmar (Burmese).

Don’t touch any part of a lady’s body. You might end up in a police station.
