Public Continent
Group Description
Connect with travelers with disabilities and welcoming locals, offering tips on accessible hotels, wheelchair-friendly attractions, and transportation across Asia. From Japan’s cherry blossoms and the Great Wall of China to Thailand’s golden temples, India’s Taj Mahal, and the beaches of the Philippines, whether it’s your first visit or a return trip, this is the place to ask about accommodations, getting around, or inclusive activities – someone here has likely experienced it before. You’ll find personal stories, travel tips, and recommendations for cultural, historical, and nature experiences. This group supports mobility aid users, along with travelers who have sensory sensitivities, low vision, and hearing loss, helping you enjoy a more accessible Asia adventure.
Reply To: Question about transport in Myanmar
Hello,
There doesn’t seem to me much out there! There is this:

And Lonely Planet says:
With its lack of paved roads or footpaths (even when present, the latter are often uneven), Myanmar presents many physical obstacles for the mobility-impaired. Rarely do public buildings (or transport) feature ramps or other access points for wheelchairs, and hotels make inconsistent efforts to provide access for the disabled.
For wheelchair travellers, any trip to Myanmar will require a good deal of planning…

Also, you might want to try this company:
http://www.myanmar-mosaic-travel.com/While they don’t talk about accessible travel, they do mention making their website accessible – this indicates they are at least thinking about people with disabilities!
Finally, you might also want to search for “Burma” which is the old name for it in English…
