Much more videos and great pictures at http://... a Buddhist pilgrim journey. Kyaiktiyo or Golden Rock Pagodais one of the famous destination in Myanmar. Maybe even one of the most famous place of Buddhist pilgrimage in Asia.The Kyaiktiyo or Golden Rock Pagoda is built on a gilded boulder 25 metres in circumference balanced in what appears to be a very precarious position on a tabular rock jutting out from the Paung-laung ridge of the Eastern Yoma mountains.This small 18-foot-high Kyaiktiyo or Golden Rock Pagoda is located in the jungle in Kyaikhto Township of Mon State near the Thai boarder town of Mae Sot on Kyaikhtiyo Hill at an elevation of 1100 metres above sea level.
you have no idea what you talk about. 99% of travel companies and related like hotels etc. are privately owned small companies who have absolute nothing to do with the state or the military. they do the tourist business in Myanmar like elsewhere. the only money which goes to the government are the taxes, like elsewhere. you and other with similar thoughts are just nonsense talker who have no idea what is going on in reality.

The brutal military regime in Burma/ Myanmar uses the money it earns from package tourism to maintain its stranglehold over the population. This is one of the regimes few sources of income. You can help to destabilise the regime if you deny them this support. Please do not travel in Burma. Foreign travel companies must be held accountable when they encourage foreigners to go to Burma. Please do NOT support these companies. I ask that you contact YouTube and urge them to remove these videos.
