In many local living accommodations, there will be limited internet access, and likely no air-conditioning. There is also few to no ATMs in most places. However, while the living conditions might be rustic, Myanmar is a very safe place to live and work with very little crime.
It is very important that the applicant feels comfortable living in circumstances that are not the same standard as western conditions.
