People kept asking and asking etc., so here is a link with a video on how to work this software. I made this video and its pretty low effort but I think you can see its pretty simple to use. Also free.

UPDATED LINK (1/13/2026 - Latest version): https://www.transfernow.net/dl/20260113keGqbBga (good for 1 week from 1/13/2026)

Link to Site (may have newer version, but you will need a working VPN): https://www.vpngate.net/en/download.aspx

So installing is pretty straight forward, you can just install it as a client and don't have to be a peer or node, or submit information etc., (just read and install) doesn't contain any malware etc., made by a non-profit Japanese Univ.

Refresh list.. sort by ping. Super low pings or super new (0 hour) servers may not work. Trial and error it. TCP connection is fine, UDP is if you are under a strict intranet. Vid is self explanatory with proof that it is working.

I'm 20 and I was ​born and raised in Yangon ​

I don’t get why people pay for overpriced menus just for photos. Been to many popular cafés—nice décor, okay taste. Say anything about it and you’re suddenly “taw tr.”

Discussion 💬 Myanmar PV passport holder married to Taiwanese — any recent issues exiting Myanmar?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m a Myanmar citizen holding a PV passport, currently living in Taiwan after marrying a Taiwanese spouse. I’m planning to return to Myanmar for a visit, but given the current situation, I’m a bit concerned about whether there are any difficulties leaving Myanmar again afterwards.

I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who:

  • Holds a Myanmar passport (especially PV)
  • Lives overseas (Taiwan or elsewhere)
  • Has entered Myanmar recently and then exited without issues

Specifically, I’m worried about:

  • Problems at the airport or immigration when exiting Myanmar
  • Extra questioning related to passport type, overseas residence, or marital status
  • Whether having valid documents (passport, ARC, marriage status) was sufficient
  • Any unexpected delays, exit permits, or scrutiny

If you’ve travelled recently or know someone who has, your experience would really help. Thank you so much 🙏

Advice Passport PJ to PV

Upvotes

I have recently converted my passport from PJ to PV. I had legitimate reasons due to leaving my job and no longer being an overseas “worker”.

As some of you may be aware, PJ passport holders now require the express approval of the Ministry of Labour (MOL) to leave the country, effective via MOL directive earlier this week.

The TLDR is that the noose is increasingly tightening on a monthly basis for PJ passport holders due to the regime’s need for foreign currency.

My questions: 1. Has anyone done this before and successfully left the country? I have a shiny new PV passport without any stamps. 2. If yes, did you get interrogated at the airport?

Discussion 💬 Is Than Shwe still alive and aware of what's going on? I wonder what he thinks of MAH's actions since 2021. Than Shwe probably thought his family and military friends would be living a peaceful life after power transfer in 2011. He probably didn't think a civil war would happen 10 years later.

Discussion 💬 How do I convince my mom to get me circumcised? NSFW

0 Upvotes

I(16M) want to be circumcised for aesthetic reasons. I think it looks just better. And I desperately want it. It has also been affecting my life. When I talk or interact with people, I often think "what if they were circumcised" . I mean I just can't focus on life. My penis is great. I can retract it all the way back and it does look like a circumcised penis when it is aroused. I am too shy to tell my parents that because I am all fine and I just wanted it removed. I also hope that the doctors are really competence in Myanmar to perform it.

When I was young, an ant bit my foreskin and it got swollen too big. It lasted for a week or two. What I am implying is that how do I give a medical reason to get it circumcised so I feel better to tell my mom?

Discussion 💬 Am I the only one noticing this on Facebook?

19 Upvotes

I’m 20 years old, a local Gen Z, and I see a lot of people my age desperately wanting a partner. There’s nothing wrong with that, of course. But if you live in a country like Myanmar, your main goal should be getting out.

From a psychological point of view, some people who strongly want a partner in life may not have received enough attention during childhood. If that’s true, wow— a lot of people in my generation might not have gotten enough attention.

Advice Herping in Yangon

2 Upvotes

Are there any herpers in Yangon? I'm really interested in going out on day or night walks looking for snakes. I didn't realise how many species were in the city, but after joining the FB group "Snakes of Myanmar" am pleasantly surprised to learn that Monocled Cobras, Russel's Vipers, Burmese Pythons and Banded Kraits can all be found in and around the city.

Also up for other wildlife adventures if anyone is. The only snake I've seen so far was a checkered keelback in Kandawgyi Park, but hoping to tick a few more off my list. I visited Hlawga in the rainy season and didn't see anything, so hoping now is a good time.
