Best time to golf in Myanmar
The best time to play golf in Myanmar is during the dry season from November to February. During this time, the weather is cool and dry, with average temperatures between 20°C and 30°C (68°F to 86°F). The comfortable weather conditions are ideal for outdoor activities such as golf and cultural exploration. However, this is also the peak tourist season, so book your golf, accommodation, and transport in advance to avoid high prices or full availability.
If you want to avoid the crowds, consider playing golf during the transitional season in October or March, when the weather is still quite pleasant. Avoid the rainy season from June to September, as heavy rains and flooding can affect your travel plans and experience.

Best activities to do after golfing
Visit iconic temples
Myanmar has about 10,000 temple complexes, each with magnificent architecture and many mysteries. The most famous is Shwedagon Pagoda, one of the tallest temples in the country. This temple is over 2,500 years old and is believed to hold the relics of Buddha Shakyamuni, attracting many visitors to come and worship. In addition, Taung Kalat Monastery is the most sacred and respected religious site in the country. Coming here, you can admire the panoramic view of the ancient capital of Bagan, and learn more about the history and culture of this country.
Relax on Inle Lake
This is one of the two largest freshwater lakes in Myanmar, surrounded by the beauty of the Shan Mountains. Take a boat trip to see the bustling floating markets, weaving villages, floating fruit gardens, and magnificent pagodas. Stop by Phaung Daw Oo Pagoda or visit Intha villages to experience the culture and traditions of the local community. Don’t forget to capture the unique fishing methods of the fishermen here.
Back in time to the ancient capital of Bagan
Bagan was once the capital of the Anawrahta dynasty, which was extremely prosperous and developed in 1044. With 2000 temples and stupas, this place preserves many beautiful features of architecture and Buddhist history and is a historical witness of the local people in the 11th century. The interesting thing when coming to the ancient capital is that you can rent a bicycle or horse-drawn carriage to visit and admire all the beautiful scenery of this place.
Explore Myanmar Cuisine
Myanmar cuisine is heavily influenced by India, China, and Thailand, so it uses a lot of spices and has a distinctive richness. The main ingredients of the dishes are usually rice, flour, fermented products, and curry powder. Some must-try dishes include tea leaf salad, Shan-style tofu noodles, and the national dish Mohinga. For a more cultural experience, visit a traditional tea house to enjoy milk tea paired with local snacks to get a feel for the daily life and warm atmosphere of the people.
Visiting craft villages and buying souvenirs
Myanmar’s craft workshops are another great post-golf activity. In Mandalay, visitors can explore lacquerware, gold leaf, and wood carving workshops, showcasing the country’s rich artistic heritage. In Bagan, lacquerware shops allow visitors to get a closer look at this intricate craft and pick up unique souvenirs. Alternatively, shop for souvenirs at some vibrant markets or Yangon’s Bogyoke Aung San Market, famous for its gems, jewelry, fabrics, and handicrafts.
