    It is rude to step over any part of a person or touch an adult on the head and hugging and kissing in public is frowned upon. Most Myanmar families don't wear shoes in their homes and if visiting, it is advised to remove shoes before entering the house. Monks should be treated with respect, even if they are children and women should not speak to monks. When dining out it is best to keep voices low in restaurants.

    Tipping: Myanmar's offer their help freely and genuinely, and don't expect anything in return, though gratuity is greatly appreciated. Tipping 5% on a meal is acceptable. Porters, drivers and tour guides expect a small tip.
